  • Nice job! I think the metal detecting mechanic worked well. Great effort overall and one of the best Oculus Quest games of the jam.

Loved the little space guys! I had trouble preventing them from stealing my treasure. Was there a way to refill ammo?

Your options for keeping your stash untouched are to whack them with your melee weapon (hold grip button to transform into the melee mode) or by shooting. There are a few items that give you more ammo, so your best bet is to just try to find treasures as much as you can. The battery pack that gives you 50 charge is a pretty common item that can be found around the island and even very close to the treasure chest.

Gotcha! I almost immediately shot all my ammo having fun and seeing how the weapon worked. :P

Developer

Yea I think we should've maybe given the player a bit more freedom to use the weapon by lowering the firing cost. Now it's almost mandatory to save up on the ammo for those big waves of enemies. The original plan was to give the player some indication about where the battery packs are currently spawned so that getting more ammo wouldn't be purely based on luck, but unfortunately the deadline hit a bit too soon :)

Very relaxing game with some action elements to liven it up, it was a nice balance. I had a lot of fun playing this and featured it in my top game jam games of 2020. Best of luck with the judging:

Thank you for your awesome review! We had a blast (pun intended) making this game and I'm glad you liked it.

The game loop is great fun, searching for treasure is really addicting and fighting off the little monster guys adds that something extra to keep you on your toes, great little jam entry! Good Job!

Developer

Thanks! I really feel we got a bit lucky because we didn't really have time to properly play test before the deadline but I think the balance between treasure hunting and fighting ended up in the right ballpark without too much tuning.

Love the creatures! :) Would it work on GearVR? 

Developer

The current version wouldn't because the input assumes two touch controllers.

I tried the PC build with a Valve Index, but I couldn't get anything to display in the headset.


Aren't build issues moments before the deadline the worst?!? I can emphasize because I totally had a similar situation!

Developer

Ah, too bad it didn't work. We are using the official unity integration by Oculus and it's supposed to be cross-platform out of the box but I guess not. And yes, we were cutting it way too close with the deadline. Stressful week all  around :)

Haha! This is super fun to play and weird. I like it! And the graphics are neat. Well done on this, hope you add more! :)

Check out my submission when you can as well below :)

HTC Vive User here: sadly only apk online. Looks so nice, wanna play :D

While you are here I've tried to play yours, so please check my game out in the button below. I wonder if you can play it with your headset.

Developer

Hi, we had some technical difficulties with the PC build yesterday. You can grab it here, although I haven't tested it with Vive: https://www62.zippyshare.com/v/i1aKdQWi/file.html . I'll be sure to check your game out!
