Looks and feels great. Might need some balancing. It would be nice to get some indication of which direction the enemies will be coming from.
I would balance this out by putting a unit cap in, which can only be raised by building farms. Puts the breaks on and makes you have to find the right balance. Might help with the lag at later stages, as well. Maybe emphasize upgrading units instead of making more of them, also.
Not sure exactly, but I was spamming the dig button. I cleared an entire row, and it seemed like that row stopped getting new sand entirely. Then when I left that row to the top row, the game froze up with no inputs doing anything. At times, when spamming dig and move, I could get the moves counter to go into the negatives. Not sure if that has something to do with it..
Thank you for the feedback! I encountered this also in Firefox. The ' key opens up quick search, and there's no way to disable it from javascript. The only workaround I found was to install a browser extension which disabled the hotkey for me.
You should also be able to hit escape after typing the ', and it will let you continue.
Love the art and music. The platforming is very hard! I think the hit boxes on the spikes could maybe be toned down. That being said I found this game really enjoyable!
Thank you so much for the input! Rewinding the text at checkpoints was definitely something I tried to implement, but I had to give up due to time. :P I'm not sure if I want to put that in still or not! I like that the game is still possible, even for slow typers.. you'll just have a very high respawn count at the end.
I'm currently balancing things out, adding sections and shortening certain parts of the text until I am able to beat the game without respawning once. I'll upload the changes once the voting is done and I'd love for you to give the game a second try!
Anubis has some strange criteria for who goes to the afterlife! Unique idea. I think this concept could be very thought provoking with a little more attention given to the life stories of the characters. Not as much random generation, but some intentionally thought provoking circumstances.
Interesting choice to use both pixel and vector art. Played until it was impossible to dodge more. I would consider adding some variety to the hazards to increase difficulty as opposed to just speeding things up. Cute game with cute art!
I started torching everyone in sight at first! Only when I didn't see my stats going up did I think to pause the game and read the instructions. Might want to make the goal slightly less hidden. Very fun though! Humorous concept.
My god I would LOVE to play a fully featured mars rover exploration game. Super relaxing vibes. Fun driving physics. I did crash into the base station at one point and got completely stuck in but that's almost more realistic than if I hadn't gotten stuck.
Could use some variety in the enemies and room layouts. The entire combat loop was always just run in circles and shoot in the middle of the room. I played until I entered a room with no doors and was not able to continue.
Crazy Taxi! I really enjoyed the theme, and running around was fun, although there might have been too many obstacles. I wanted some more wide open areas to really tear through and pick up speed.
Camera is crazy sensitive. I found out if you jump before hitting the ground for the first time at the start of the level, you are able to jump in the air as much as you want. This is the first entry I played with music, so that was much appreciated!
Upgrading the gun didn't seem to make the enemies die any quicker. On the third level I spawned right next to 3 enemies and died. I like the idea of certain upgrades making you slower, but didn't see any option to not get any upgrade, so either way you get slower on every level.
Good use of the concept! I enjoyed the different ways you used the weight change mechanic in designing platforming sections. The combat aspect was a little bit slow.
