The first level is really too difficult. I think you should add some smaller and easier levels first to get the player used to the idea. By the way, the connected planes seem very weak compared to the player’s plane.
If you’re going to continue developing the game after the jam, I think it would be a good idea to replace the rail options with a single button, thus setting the appropriate tile based on adjacent rails.
I think you also have room to increase the game’s difficulty, perhaps creating enemies with rail destruction priority?
Checked your ideas for futher development and I think you are at right direction with “Time pressure”. On the other hand, restricted moves count would make it challenging too, driving game more into puzzle genre - not action game.
One more thing I’ve noticed is that ship vs ship collision exists but isn’t changing anything right now, doesn’t raise any difficulty at all. Perhaps this could make some interesting mechanic - like changing ship’s direction.
I was kinda lost. I had trouble progressing the game early on. Was looking for popsicles in the trash bins but found guy with missing hat instead. Perhaps some bug got into?
Interesting idea and pretty clear visuals. Theme usage seems obvious :)
Are you going to continue developing the game? Have you thought about adding pause/slow while player selects houses for assignment? I found mouse movement exhausting - automatically sending out assignment when car is full 5/5 would be nice too.
Hi! The game is short and runs smoothly, idea is simple but it didn’t offer “uncovering hidden treasures” as noted in description :D The most close experience is doing jigsaw puzzles.
If you are going to continue developing the idea, you might want to decrease the volume of background music a bit. I thought game would benefit if correctly placed tiles would get their buttons removed too.
I believe you may think about distinguishing the tiles if you are going to continue developing the game. I guess something like giving slight color tint for different runes would work.
Cool! At first I focused on moving the highlighted parts closer together, but eventually became consumed with the act of jolly destruction. If you want to continue developing the idea you may think about some kind of onscreen visual help showing where are the parts located (atleast direction towards them) - my second run ended with big pile of building parts, and pink elements hidden underneath :D
