Geat Game, can you rate my game too?

Developer

I believe I already did, though if I haven't then I will soon

Certainly the most unique game I've seen in the jam so far! Really neat concept- like a rain simulator~~ Really nice prototype with a lot of potential to go in many different directions, I think!

Some of the mechanics aren't completely clear, e.g. what makes you absorb rather than be absorbed, but I see you already plan on making some changes. I think it would be nice to have a clearer indication as to what gives you a high score - I assume absorbing more rain scores higher, but I wasn't sure if where I landed made any difference.

I really like the concept of weathering an alien planet. I think you should play into that more! For example, depending on where you land and how much water you have when you do, you could have an effect on the terrain/biodiversity of the planet itself. I also like the idea of the planet having strange, unknown physics. I think you could do more with that, too - maybe even have different levels with different physics, weird antigravity areas of the planet or something ^_^

That's a really interesting angle to come at it from. I might add some of those ideas into the game (if I can figure out how to make them work lol - still learning to program).

Thank you so much!

x)  Best of luck!

I like the concept, sometimes I don't understand what causes me to be consumed or what causes me to win. Also my scored was like 5.434e or something, other than that I enjoyed it!
Could you rate my game also?

Developer

Yeah. The amount of raindrops each one has to absorb something is a known issue, and I thought of several possible fixes just now while responding to you.  And the score was something that I threw together at the last minute (though giving a score was planned, I didn't have the time to properly think it through).

I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it and I'd be happy to rate your game if I haven't done so already.

Nice concept! Btw is this a late submission? I haven't seen it before :)

Developer(+1)

Yes - I had issues with submitting and didn't realize it until now. Unless once one's page is made, you then have to go to the jam page and hit submit seperately, at which point it turns out the issue was I didn't know that, and assumed that making a page after being prompted to from hitting "submit game" would automatically submit the game to the jam when the page was published lol.

Ah ok!
