Very surreal experience. I kinda like it especially when you respawn and it just rains crates. It's like a pocket dimension with crates and evil drones.

what a world of chaos ! it is really on topic, but little bit confusing at first but when I start to understand the concept I really liked the idea, good job

Submitted

Ok wow, this has to be the strangest game I've played so far in this jam. I was very confused on what to do until I read the description, but it's pretty fun to jump around and smash crates. I like that the drones have a red or green glow to indicate whether they are friendly or enemies. I also loved the little devlog video on the game page. Overall great work!!

WOWIEEE

Developer

WOWIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE

The concept for the game fit the theme pretty well, but it's hard to understand what I needed to actually do at the start. If you ever update it, I'm looking forward to seeing what you add or change!

Developer

I am going to make an update after the jam :D.

It is a sandbox sort of game, and I was hesitant to add an actual goal, but I am going to add some features which should make the game more engaging.

Some features I am considering including in the update include: a laser on the shield drone that shoots enemy missiles, a statistics menu so you can challenge yourself to do anything, a delay after the enemy drone spawns so you have a chance to fight it, and much more! I am very excited!

Developer

I made the video! Enjoy! :D

Submitted

Interesting concept and crazy visuals! I like it a lot

Developer

thank you!

Well, I didn't read anything or really look at any of the screenshots. When I first went in I was surprised. After reading the game premise, I was even more surprised and confused. This is a strange game. I love it. 

This might not even be a game, just some weird art piece. Its beautiful.

Developer

its a sandbox that not even i understand. Stay tuned for an update where I make it even more strange

Submitted

Very interesting and unique concept! Really cool, had a lot of fun! Good job!

Developer

Thanks man!

Submitted

Really cool and unique game idea! I found it entertaining trying to jump to different crates over the void xD

Developer

More is to come in the future!

Submitted

Nice game. I enjoyed the strategic platform hopping.

A simple suggestion would be to add a delay when a red drone is found in a crate, so that the player has a chance to run away before being killed.  

Developer

yeah I might make a post-jam update to this game with more features and changes

Submitted

Tried the game! I don’t know if the game requires you to eliminate all the red drones or not. Surely the game has potential and is creative, but most importantly, you incorporated the theme in the gameplay and I liked a lot this. I don’t know when I find a green drone it doesn’t work. Yes, the game has some problems here and there, but it’s strangely addicting and surely something to work about after the jam!

Thanks!

The game is more of a sandbox since I didn't really have time to implement a goal, but I might make an update after the jam to add a score system.

also the green drones will only be activated when in range of a red drone, and the range is short since I don't have a system for selecting the closest drone, but if I ever get around to it, those might be changed in the post-jam update!

Submitted

Thank you for your hard work! ☺️

Definitely weird, but cool nonetheless.  

Developer

some might say I made the weirdest game in the jam

Submitted

Interesting work!
Strange, but interesting!

thanks! I like to make strange games :D

Submitted

Nice game! But the first time playing I stand still cause I went for taking a sip of water and when I came back nothing had hit me, so maybe put in something that will get to the starting point after  a specific time?

Developer

I am considering revisiting the project sometime if I'm not too caught up in other things, so I might consider it!

Submitted

Nice game. I have one suggestion that you can use stick to hang with platform at last moment to save, just as in platformer player hangs with platform. Otherwise great game. I also tried standing still once but was pushed by some unknown force lol, I guess that might be due to enemy drone :D

Developer

yeah I was going to implement that feature. I just didn't know how and didn't have time to figure it out. I am considering revisiting the project at some point if I have time/motivation

Submitted

I found the best strategy to just stand still and not move since there wasn't anything attacking me at start, I feel like if you did something to force the player to move between platforms and then added some sort of score for how long one survived it would be alot more engaging!

Cool concept though, I loved the asthetic of the floating island jungle!

Developer

thx man

Sometimes an enemy drone will spawn right next to you or something will move the platform from under you so there is a chance that you will be forced to move, but sometimes you can peacefully watch as the terrible ai of the good drones try so hard to kill the enemy drones.

I might revisit this project in the future though if I'm not too caught up in other things.
