I love the idea but I can't pass the third level without failing, even though I get a 125% score from it... Don't know why that happens.
I would love to see a bit more instructions, and even if I don't see how it plays off of the theme I still think it has potential for being a fun game.
Most enjoyable game I've played so far :) Very exciting to both hunt and be hunted. I love the aesthetic direction but being colorblind it's a bit tricky to distinguish the lizards from the background. Needs more sfx and feedback for when you successfully bite other lizards and when you get hurt.
I think this is a great prototype for an interesting and exciting game! The style and aesthetics and execution is enough to convey the idea. Great job, I would love a game like this.
I find the concept interesting but it seems like the only mechanics that are implemented in the games are related to movements. I tried building stuff but I don't understand how, and there's no way for me to tell if it is implemented or not.
I love the take on the theme by starting a data center to handle exponential costs of living. Just scale lol.
I'm sorry but it was not easy to understand what I was meant to do. I managed to stick around for 5 days but it felt like I had a hard time keeping my interest alive.
Still I really enjoy the idea, and I think this works as a prototype to show off a game design idea. I suggest you add a bit more instructions and some more eventful gameplay. Right now there are large areas and time periods that just feel empty.
Stylish game. It's a very interesting idea and I love how the aesthetics matches with the idea.
But I find it really difficult to understand exactly how the shooting mechanics work. Every time I let go there is a blue circle, I suppose that's where the explosions happen. But sometimes it does not kill the enemy ships. Sometimes the reticle starts firing frequently and I can't figure out why. Sometimes there are yellow ships spawning that seem friendly, but I have no clue what they do or if I can control them somehow.
I still think it's a very creative and stylish take on the theme and I think the game would be very nice to play on a touch pad. With some clearer instructions and slower difficulty ramping I think the game will be a lot more enjoyable!
Lovely concept with being an ice cube that dies if it melts. That's a beautiful way to convey a health bar without one.
Needs a bunch of balancing and testing in order for the levels and puzzles to be fun. Levels 8 to the final level were annoyingly tedious to clear because there was no indication on how large the ice blocks and balls needed to be to progress through the level. I had to guess, and even though I had "cleared" the puzzle the mechanics made them really hard to execute.
Still I think you did a good job by sticking to the theme by having objects in your game scale according to environmental factors. Especially the blue and red zones.
I enjoyed design of the ice cube's face. Very cool!
That's a cool transition when you grow. I tried running it in the browser with my MacBook on Firefox, and I can't read any of the texts. Perhaps it's a platform based bug.
Yes a bit too much, I mostly had the feeling that I’ll just let myself get hit so I can restart without that madness. Perhaps you need to entice the player to push through it
Very good job! Especially the presentation, visually and audio, is so on point. This feels like it could be a whole game with rooms. It reminds me a little of VVVVVV. Also the Death Mode is ruthless, no chance when I get that I just give up.
Thank you for enjoying the music! :D <3 And especially thank you for praising the game, this is Vertex's first game jam ever. I'm super impressed by him!
