wohoou I like it, I love the SE as well, Gameplay is cool!
Very Ambitious reminds me of Cannon fodder on the mega drive!
Nice aesthetics for the game! I like the concept and the use of the mini map. The bgm and audio were fitting and the art was cohesive and clear. The controls were a bit confusing for me and I felt like I was stuck a lot. I liked flying around and shooting stuff. Overall a fun and interesting game! Great work!
Ooohhh I feel I'm playing Desert Strike mix with Tiberian Sun <3 Love it!
Oh my god that's exactly what i meant! Thanks for your comment!
There is a lot going on in this game so I imagine it was very challenging to make within the 72 hour time window, impressive! The controls are sort of like an RTS and aside from bugs, I think this game could maybe be improved if it went heavier on that angle or away from the controls of an RTS. Otherwise it feels like you're micro managing your helicopter even though it it fires automatically when you lock on. If you keep it like an RTS I would add the ability to make more helicopters and have them fire completely on their own, and otherwise make it so you can shoot and move at the same time.
Man, this is actually lots of fun. It’s a little buggy—your scavengers keep moving even when you’ve paused the game by opening the shop and apparently when there are no slags on the map your scavengers just drive off the map never to be seen again (which is how I, unfortunately, got softlocked on the third level, as I didn’t have the money to buy new ones), but I do really like the interpretation of the theme, the visuals, and the gameplay. The music was fire as well!
This could be a really nice game with a little bit of time spent on polishing it!
Oh god im so sorry, that shouldnt happen. Maybe the fact that they don't stop when shop is opened led to the second bug. I will fix it, thanks for the feedback!
Fun game! Vibes straight from old-school RTS games, I love those!
It looks so simple! And yet was pretty challenging.
Besides Desert Strike, this also has some "Return Fire" vibes, also a pretty old game. I like the basic strategic elements. I'm an avid fan of the Battle Zone series, so building stuff in addition to shooting stuff would be cool.
(Also: Did you rip of an old Italo-western soundtrack?)
I must say, unique and interesting interpretation of the theme. Enjoyed the game. Reminded of a tank flash I used to play as a kid. Nice job
really fun game.
I love kitting, STR and speed run what a combo :p I wish harvester were gicing player resources like that it would make sens to protect them :p What I did was cleanin the level and than by 6 harvester.
The combat is very clean. Kiting feels really nice and maneuvering the helicopter to avoid projectiles is satisfying. I also ended up playing for kinda a while lol which is good. It was fun tho. Definitely a little rough around the edges tho and I couldn't complete level 3
Great game! Almost got killed by a rocket soldier hiding under the tree on the first lvl, but made it to lvl3) Also reminded me about Desert Strike game for sega mega drive)
