Fun game! I liked the use of the theme and the glitch art style. I’m a bit too bad at games to actually beat it but I had fun during my numerous failed attempts.
I sure do love a roguelike. I did a few runs (didn’t actually beat it) and had a lot of fun.
I feel like the stats might need some slight tuning. At one point I got caught into an infinite battle with a mimic, where I would nine lives and lick wounds back up and it would regenerate, I didn’t see a flee button so I eventually gave up. This was after I put all my points in accuracy after feeling like I missed way too much so I guess I couldn’t do enough damage to get through the mimic. Possible I’m just bad at the game!
Either way, I had a lot of fun. I like the mix of classic roguelike dungeon crawling and that pokemon-esque style of combat. Great take on the theme!
I managed to beat it but likely at the cost of carpal tunnel. I would also like a bit more feedback on what I was doing but I had fun mashing buttons and I liked the concept. Good submission!
Good game! I agree with the other comments about the black background and that it took me a little bit to figure out how to roll dice, but once I did, it was a fun experience.
Yeah, the lack of drag was an intentional choice, since as EggBox said, there is no drag in space. But given all the feedback, I’ll certainly try for a better “feel” if I make any more top down space games in the future.
The realism vs fun is an important point and something I need to get better at. I definitely have a bad habit of valuing crunchiness and realism over fun. I did have plans to add some sort of obstacles/enemies so the experience could be more rewarding, at the very least you can’t drift if you’re being shot at. However, I’m a software engineer by trade and an artist only in my wildest imagination so the visuals took me longer than planned and I ran out of time.
I really appreciate all the feedback and it will certainly help in future projects! Thanks!
I use lootlocker for the leaderboard backend with a simple UI component that I wrote. It’s basically just a canvas UI image with a scrollview inside to displays the scores. My canvas is set to scale with screen size and has a reference resolution of 1920x1080 so all the components should stretch accordingly.
I used lootlocker in a previous gamejam and it works pretty well so I do recommend it for small projects like this. I haven’t tested it at any sort of scale so I can’t comment on whether it would be good for larger productions.
