The only resource on mars is rocks, you need to refine them to get other resources.

I don't think I ate any, I finished off my oreos a couple days ago.

Pretty nice submission seeing how there's not many games in the base building planet defense department here
This game could do with a little more work on introducing the gameplay. Tutorials are notoriously difficult in game jams, so I understand you had to do what you did with the time constraints, but I didn’t know about shoot mode until I died 5 times trying to build tunnels. I’d say the meteors start off a little too quickly.
The art style is consistent and looks very pretty though. It’s a foundation for a potentially very interesting game, and if you continued adding art assets as well, it would be quite nice!
I thought I was supposed to build on the surface and didn’t realise I needed to branch off the tunnel on the side.
Huge effort on the jam though, congrats 🔥
I was going to make a tutorial but by that point I had like half an hour left. I tried to put all the controls in stuff in the description so people would understand how to play. Glad you like the art style tho, I tried working with a more simple style and I think it worked well.
This is a really cool concept, maybe a little too ambitious for a 3 day jam
I want the game to go on longer, by the time I can get two missile turrets down theres no asteroids left!
I would love to play this again after a bit more time in the oven, I think theres just too much going on to get everything working perfectly and polished in 3 days
It definitely was ambitious, especially since I spent almost the entire first day on art lol. Glad you like it tho, big fixes probably coming soon.
i had fun! from the other comments it sounds like the ui could use more clarity — placements and all that were working just fine for me, and i think the asteroids only stopped spawning when the time till rescue became zero (tho i may be mistaken there). i was trying to get negative rocks but by my back-of-the-envelope calculations it seems like that’s going to take about a month, so i will concede and keep only the positive rocks
The idea is cool from what i read in description but i think the game it's bugged, i could only shoot
not sure what to do honestly, i tried placing a bunch of the rock picks but couldn't add health or defend against the falling rocks, also the end game menu is super bugged and buttons didn't work for me. i like the idea though
Concept is nice but the game is buggy and i survived till last 30seconds without building anything.
Yeah, asteroids were also giving me issues with just not spawning. Fix hopefully coming soon.
