Hey fancy seeing you here man! Glad you could submit!
It was nice seeing a tower defence style game this jam, and this one was pretty decent!
For starters the voice acting is top notch, hearing a Pole trying to do so many accents is hysterical! The music was perfect for SBIG too! Though I will say once it gets to the point of a bunch of soldiers and ships coming in the number of shot sound effects can get pretty overbearing and loud. I've never been particularly fond of ear-rape games though so maybe its just me.
Things get very chaotic towards the end of the game with all the ships, defenders and music layering on top of each other. It definitely fits a SBIG jam!
Though some things I do wish were improved, like sometimes it seemed like objects weren't actually being placed when I clicked, and the placement detection was kinda wonky. And maybe I missed something but I didn't know you had to click on the building to start placing things until I accidentally clicked on it.
I do love some of the little details though, like the various flags changing on the larger ships, the colour of the uniforms of different factions, the fact that the tortoise is always swimming underneath. Oh and I love that when you add earplugs the tortoise actually has them on its head.
I did eventually end up waking the tortoise but I got through several minutes of gameplay and enjoyed it!
Good work man!
Woweee! This game is one I spent a lot longer playing than I originally imagined I would 😂 I'm a big sucker for tower defence style games, so this was right up my alley! 😀
Sound is absolutely crazy good. The 'music', the voice acting 😑 Yeah this fit really well. The gameplay is super duper clunky (I think walls need a complete rethink, and unit placement could be slightly better thought out!) But tbh it's a jam game and that doesn't matter too much lol. The core of the game is super solid, which is probably why I ended up playing this like 8 times 😂
I definitely felt a sense of improvement as I went on and learned the mechanics. Where this game really shines is when everything goes to hell! The explosions don't seem to disappear, the ships just keep on increasing, crashing into each other in heavy fire, suddenly, ten ships last at once and the audio just goes OI OI OI OI OI!!! Yeah that. That is SBIGJam.
I had an absolute blast with this! Love to see more of it if anything! Well done!
nice to see another game with very accurate representation of bri’ish “people”
[source has requested anonymity]
One problem though: I accidentally closed the menus containing things that could be used to defend the island and it won’t reopen. I have tried closing and reopening the game and those menus are somehow gone be default 😭
pls fix, I want to defend the island against the bri’ish (please see attached screenshot)
is very funny with the sound
XD
The idea is pretty fun, but it's a bit difficult to see what you are doing. With a little more work and I think it can become a really fun game to play.
