Thanks!
That is supposed to be a little god game where you help your tribe conquer the galaxy and fight rivals. But I failed miserably in completing any meta over the core game loop - to have some stats, multiple levels, winning conditions, tutorial, and everything else :(
So, while it is still possible to conquer all the planets, there is no meaning behind that. At this point, it is more of a simple life simulation than a game.
Thanks for the feedback!
In a post-jam version I'll add another gameplay mode besides HUMAN and BOT - it will be called HYBRID.
In that mode a human is responsible for the ship design, but the battle is fought by the bot. That way you can design a ship and let the bot test it in battle.
Also, there will be ability to save and load ship design to and from JSON files, so you can preserve designs or even bring them along to fight with friends :)
Pain... So much pain... Currents are taking me away all the time!
That is a challenging game! Takes a lot of skills to master.
Moving left definitely feels as moving backward, since usually games are moving left-to-right (e.g. R-Type). I was expecting something getting to me from the right side of the screen all the time :)
Wow! It is probably the most atmospheric game I've seen in this jam. Nice color palette - I'm getting cold just by looking at it :)
The platform physics is really well balanced - on pair with Celeste and other iconic platformers. Music is nice (although, not very gameboy-ish ;) )And you even managed to put in a backstory!
Good job!
On improvements, I'd add a full-screen button with ability to zoom the view. Controls are fine, but I would prefer more conventional layout... Maybe Arrows + Space to jump and WASD + Right shift to jump. But this one is totally subjective...
Also, for some reason the top panel is messed up in my browser (Chrome 83 + macOS 10.15). The text is shifted and scaled into unreadable form :(
Wow, finished! Amazing game! Unbelievably good polish for a jam game. All visuals, animations, sound effects and music are of good quality. And it "feels" right - the physics of shots, feedback, hit effects with particles, how stones are behave on impact. Seems like every detail is very well balanced
Simply the best polished gameplay I've seen so far in this jam :)
Amazing! It is probably the most polished game I've played so far in this jam... The graphics has genuine gameboy feel, music and sound effects are also superb!
I've encountered that problem somewhere at the right-bottom end of the platform. I've dropped into the ocean but hasn't died and still was able to shoot form somewhere under the bottom of the screen :)
Cool shooting :)
Might work better with a full-screen button and ability to scale the view.
Also, the 'dodge stars' mechanics is pretty confusing... There is no hint about it and I figured out what to do from comments below. You might consider removing it completely, since it doesn't seem add any variety to the gameplay.
Nicely done. Cool palette and visuals.
It gets boring pretty fast. Some variety with monsters/items/weapons would be nice. Although, I realise that might not be possible within the scope of a jam.
Still, some hacks can be implemented fast. Like a mega-bat boss - just like a regular bat, but scaled x2 and stronger :)
Now I also need to create a spec for the virtual machine that control robots - I've managed to implement almost 40 opcodes, but failed to create some examples of really smart firmware.
With all these artifacts present, you can actually play that game as a local multiplayer - everybody will create their own firmware, upload it and then let the bots fight each other without human intervention... just like in RoboCode/Omega and the likes.
