This happens all the time. It’s completely fine to have your game be similar to another jam game. Just watch any of GMTK’s videos for his jams. He names multiple games with the same idea or theme almost every time he speaks.
I don’t think it matters. You can only vote during the rating period so it’s probably better to submit early rather then late. Then you can get both feedback and as a precaution. You never know when you might not be able to submit later for whatever reason.
Wow, that’s so cool! I did not expect a response! My mind is blown!
Something else that’s funny is I just signed in to Itch for the first time in a few weeks.
Oh, and I’m sorry if I sounded a bit critical.
I know the game is unlikely to receive updates but I have encountered a few bugs:
You can see the fluid under the floor if you build the incubators next to the bottom edge.
The King-bomb-bomb has no texture and only appears as the last creature in the incubator, or if you load up the game, they only appear as purple squares, and after a while, they just disappeared.
Sometimes while I was building, my available incubator slots was randomly reduced to 5. I was able to fix it the first time by upgrading my generator, but by the second time it happened I had already reached max level. Restarting did fix it though.
Occasionally, after I finish a contract, a blank contract will appear with no requirements. I haven’t really tested this one, but the blank contract appears to reward the player as well.
And when you try to build a structure while your cursor is out-of-bounds, it won’t let you build. I wasted an hour trying to get the end button to work, because I thought I didn’t have enough coins.
I am using the Windows build just so you know.
I hope this doesn’t seem like nagging or complaining, I just want to alert AIA of these bugs.
