I realized now that I submitted my score, but not my comment! Sorry for the delay.
Loved the feeling of having dual-wielding automatic weapons. The general guns-blazing feel was a good choice as well. Some small additions boost that style would be cool to see (power-ups, health on alien kill, etc...). Didn't notice that there was climbing like you mentioned in another post.
Good job on the submission!
Soild Work! Very clean and intuitive.
Great take on the defend the planet theme! Loved shooting down the UFOs and this was some of the most satisfying gunplay I’ve tried so far <3
If you find some time this weekend, please check out our game “Starship Minis” and leave a comment to let us know what you think! https://itch.io/jam/vr-jam-2021/rate/1145490
Thanks and congrats on completing the jam!!
thanks for the review I’m glad you liked the game :).
I’d love to try yours out but unfortunately I only have a quest so I can’t do windows builds.
Hey, fair enough! Hoping to add Oculus-only support in future jams. Hope you has a great jam <3
Cool visuals, it's certainly pretty satisfying shooting down UFOs. I also liked the touch that you could shoot down your own buildings... and tbh I had a little too much fun with that.
A little more variance on the sound design, along with some music, could have been a nice touch.
Also, I have to say running around the planet with such a low horizon did make me feel a little nauseous.
*woah this is a little trippy -> didn't feel like I had a chance but I kept going anyway -> welp i guess I won then? ^-^
ha, yeah I did make it pretty “easy mode”. I know not everyone is use to running and gunning in VR especially around a tiny planet. Wanted people to be able to get their bearings and figure things out, without loosing right away.
Really good work! Anyway just for improve my skill, later you have to tell me how did you manage to move and rotate the player on the planet so smoothly! Amazing!
Lost the first round thinking I needed to be careful and take cover. Went guns blazing and won the second round. Moving on a small planet was pretty cool.
Maybe if you had more time you could have made the aliens explode.
yeah maybe later on I’ll go back and improve it adding waves and more effects and sounds. And have the ships target you. Maybe add a mother ship boss.
It was fun once you I knew you could just focus on shooting/gunning them down.
If you have a chance please leave a review for my game submission as well.
A little bit short, but fun indeed. Cool visuals, good gameplay and mechanics. Love it.
I really had fun playing this. I thought we could climb on the buildings,hahah
Great work! :)
you can climb
I was using Vive controller. How do you climb?
on oculus it’s the hand trigger to grab and the index trigger to shoot. Idk what the vive equivalent to the hand trigger is
Solid project! The weapons and effects were implemented very well.
The movement around the planet was great, that must have been difficult to develop! Fits with the theme well of defending your small world, would be great in the future of it's development to have waves and more weapons :)
thanks, the player controller took the whole first day to squash the bugs. yeah, while build I thought of adding waves but it would have been the next thing I added.
Cool game, little short but can't really ask for much more considering time restraints. It wouldve been nice you wouldve added a health bar or something on top of the UFOs to see their health. Other than that pretty fun, just short.
Very cool! Works very well, graphics are a little bit dark but still nice.
Easy to understand gameplay.
The feeling of walking around a small planet works very well.
Had a lot of fun! Thx!
thanks for the feedback. I spent the whole first day of the jam doing the move mechanics, you can also jump and climb but it's not necessary to play.
There is not Tutorial but the controls are pretty standard:
left thumbstick for walking. right stick for turning. A button for jump.
hand triggers for grabbing to climb. and index triggers for shooting.
Goal: destroy all hostile UFOs before they destroy the planet.
