hey, thanks for playing! i uploaded a windows build (can't make mac right now) - the link is up above. i have a build working on steam deck that i've been playing around with, so i understand about having it on the go.
hope that works for you : ) - i'd love to hear any high scores, feedback, etc. if you have any. enjoy!
Very cool! I love the art style and the overall concept. Here's some thoughts:
- I didn't always understand movement rules, like the train blocking you at the very beginning. I was also confused about having to stay on the road.
- I expected adjacent zombies to maybe attack me eventually, especially if I did something like smash a car window.
- I was surprised at the mechanic of sacrificing inventory items to fight the zombies - felt like I wanted the ability to fight with my hands, even if there was a high chance of getting hurt.
Looking forward to see where you go with everything!
thanks for playing and for taking the time to leave a comment : )
1. I agree about the placement. I hope to try some things out with that in the next update.
2. Difficulty levels are interesting! I'd probably lean towards making the main version a little easier, then do some ascension type stuff a la Slay the Spire.
3. Sandbox mode is a fun idea! It could be sort of like the setup screen in Civilization hehe.
oh my gosh! so sorry that happened to you after getting so far in the game. I will be looking into that to fix it on the next release (though uploading new builds unfortunately deletes saves).
there is nothing that happens at 100% in this build, but there is on the experimental branch: https://newbeings.itch.io/order-automatica-beta
(it's what i've been working on recently).
you can use the Hotkeys For Skipping Stuff listed in the description above to unlock everything in the experimental branch and skip to the end if you'd like.
either way, thank you so much for playing through everything and for taking the time to leave a comment. if you have any thoughts on the game i'd love to hear them, but either way, thanks again!
This is an amazing write up! 💖
I actually made a game inspired by some of your stuff that is about translating alien speech audio. I actually thought this game might be about that when you first posted it! It'd be really wild to do something like that more proceedurally.
Hi! Thanks for taking the time to write a comment 💗
The new drawing behavior was actually deliberate based on watching some in-person playtests. I think it's the least confusing for new players.
But I think you're totally right about having flexibility there, and it's really cool to hear your strategies : )
I think the best solution would be to leave the current thing as the default drawing behavior, but then have another hotkey that draws up to 3 busts for advanced players like you. And then also leave the draw 1 button as right click, or another hotkey.
I'll get these in on the next update. Thanks for playing! Those are some mega scores 👁️
