To be honest I think that planet selection using the left stick/wasd should be a feature in the whole game, it would simplify the code a lot and give the player significantly more control. Thanks a lot!
Restart was on backspace! Our art guy left for GamesCom before we submitted and it was just us two programmers left, we probably made a bad prompt haha sorry about that. And yes the camera is a common issue, need more time to tune. Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah, allowing the player to take control when they want and potentially freezing time before the game starts is something we wish we'd gotten into the game first. Thanks a lot for playing!
Thanks a lot for all the feedback! We agree with you completely on the camera. We have a rather brute force solution for camera selection at the moment, and as it removes control/view from the player, this is inadequate. I think our lesson is that if were going to take away control/vision we need it to either be for a gameplay reason, or tread very carefully. Cheers for playing!
We didn't spend enough time with the controls, as is becoming evident from the feedback. To us they were fine, but obviously, we had been playing the game non stop for 4 days. Needed playtests from people unfamiliar, like now! Thanks a lot!
We built the whole game on controller and then rushed the keyboard controls at the end, big mistake. We even removed camera control, which was on wasd, and didn't rebind things over there, which would have been so much better. Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Very cool little game, very impressive it runs in the browser, and ultra impressive that it was done in 48 hours. The flight controls are crisp and well tuned, and its very pleasing seeing the little resources go into the right places on the ship youre building. A solid base for what could be a great proper game.
Really cool little game, the presentation is almost flawless, the fact that this was done for a game jam has me really impressed, there are games with months of development that don't achieve a similar level of polish.
Really excellent little strategy game, I was so close but then one of my districts imploded and I couldnt survive :(. Really great idea, well executed, the planets moving around were also a wonderful touch!
The visual presentation on this is excellent, the (cell?) shader on the players first form especially. Really good work! Music was also very well chosen.
Sick little game, my record is 14000. Really enjoyed it, really enjoy the risk/reward mechanic of trying to travel to distant stars to max score without losing fuel!
Really polished little game, very impressive. The design of the mechanics is exceptional, I just wish I had a little more info to guide me on deciding when to jump.
By far and away the best "build ship shoot enemy build better ship" style game I have played so far. The design choice to build in between levels is super good, the different ui is excellent. As is the art and the sound! Well done!
Really clean presentation and very polished overall. I thought it was great!
Only suggestion is that the aiming is done from behind the "mothersheep"(do I have that right?), leaving you a very limited space on the edge of the screen to actually aim, which feels a little frustrating.
An excellent idea, anyone who had something similar must be very clever! Well done!
Only gripe is that I would often hit space to start the level, only to remember that was the restart button, would be great if it toggled between start level and restart.
