Pretty simple but still pretty fun.
Only issues I came across were sometimes the bullets would explode without going very far and sometimes the gun would reverse and aim/shoot at the opposite direction of the mouse.
I really didn't like the sound used for the dialogs but otherwise the music is simple and does the job well, same for the pixelart.
Overall pretty fun little game if you set the few bugs aside :)
The game was good, I just struggled to play it because of the gun aim bug. It was also kind of annoying to restart the tutorial after dying. Other than that, it was a good game!
I like the game. The visuals are nice. The map is maybe a bit too empty. Music is ok. The story is great. It is on topic. Overall, a nice game!
Also, it would be awesome if you could play and rate my game as well!
Nice and simple game, just found few issues
- When the player is facing left the gun controls are inverted.
- The gun itself can be turned 360°
- When restarting a level, it also restarts the tutoris which is a little annoying having to go through tge whole tutorial again.
Otherwise it's a nice game.
when the playermodel is turned to the left the rotation of the gun is inverted. I suppose this should be an easy fix. apart from that good concept.
Tried the game in the WebGL version! I can say it’s good as a concept, having a world to explore, enemies and surviving in a world, but you should really improve the gun, it’s too weak and it goes around where it wants for some reason. Liked the music and the game feels…complete for a 3 days timespan, which I liked. Maybe improve a bit the visuals, gameplay and the execution of it!
preety charming visuals and i find the level design to be quite good.
it definetly is on topic, but i found the "ai companion who shoots down aliens for you" to be - excuse me for the term - quite lazy and badly executed. the "gun bug" also ruined my experience, and at the end i was swarmed by enemies and left with absolutely no ammo.
try also not putting an arbitrary (and very short) time limit, especially right at the start of the game - that's a really bad design decision imo.
This is a good idea and the aesthetic is great! Unfortunately, I ran into too many issues to finish the game. I felt the combat was flawed in a few ways, but specifically the aiming (I'm also an advocate for unlimited ammo in games like this because shooting is fun, but that's subjective). The AI was also fairly useless since their damage output was so low. Also, the game seems very against exploration, which I find frustrating in space-themed games. I just landed on some unknown planet in some unknown place in the universe, let me look around haha :]
Still, this is very well done!
I find the game to be quite interesting. The game is easy to understand and gives clear instructions on what to do next. The music and SFX were pretty nice sounding. I like that you added a whole cutscene at the end where the robot and A.I. escape.
However, i wish that in the beginning, the time limit would be higher, and won't go down when i encounter a new building. I also got hit mutliple times by the alien when i but in the batttery of the robot. I found a bug where the text became garbled when i skipped the text too fast. I don't like how when i'm shooting a gun for one direction, if i turn the opposite direction, the rotation of the gun becomes inverted.
But other then that, good game.
Overall I liked your game and think it has potential, but it's currently held back by the gun bug. I also think the AI robot was very usefull, but I wish it was used a bigger part of the game.
Overall a very nice entry! Short and simple but I still had some fun with it! Nice use of the dialog as a tutorial too :)
As for my feedback, there was a bug with weapon aiming (not sure what caused it though) and while I still enjoyed the game, I found it a bit too easy. The dialog told you where to look for items. Maybe if the player was left to explore and find the item required to progress, it would be more challenging. That's only my take on this however, and I still had fun fighting the enemies which provided a good enough challenge for a game jam entry.
Otherwise great job! Keep it up :)
Theme of Ai in this game is really simple, just an ai companion who tries to help you, there is not much wrong about this, still, its in the theme of jam. But some things here just dont work, weapon aiming is completly broken when you go to left side, Ai which should help you does nothing and one alien who should try to kill me, just walked around me and do nothing, aliens clip and shoot through walls. Its not bad but bugs just destroy whole experience for me. And few things that I would add, health counter to enemies, add more ammo or completly delete ammo counter bc its just not too much for amount of enemies, and I would replace your weapon model or replace sound bc ak which sounds like a lazer gun is weird, and make dialog at the start skippable or make it so it dont run when you die
The robot helps you with shooting enemies but I think I should increase his enemy check area
If you got closer to the alien then he will shoot
I add the bullet counter because you'll run out bullets at the last round
then your AI will help at that point
and the gun bug is true and I should add a skip button
Nice game and fun game! only the bug with the gun but I guess you already know
