I like this! The strategy behind it is great and I can see a lot of potential here. Some things I found myself looking for were some way of indicating range, maybe a little more freedom to place points, maybe some units can attack the planes. Thought it was great though! Nice work!
All great points. Definitely will consider what the player does and does not know going into the next project.
For the camera movement resetting - are you referring to the player camera/view? Sometimes, when playtesting the game, my camera would snap around making it a little difficult to look around. But I was the only one to experience this issue on our team so I figured it might be something to do with my input rather than the game itself. If you experienced this as well though, it may be more of a bug than originally thought.
Also a great idea on increasing volume over time - didn't think of this but it would have helped a lot.
Thanks for the great feedback and for trying out the game!
This was amazing! The bomb drop was a little difficult to see, but then once I saw how it dropped, I got the hang of it. The effect on the Battleship shot was great. I've always loved flight sims so the controls felt good to me (almost felt more space feeling than like a plane). Also, your gun is pretty powerful, so I found myself not even waiting for the battleship and destroying the buildings myself - maybe some balancing there could change the feel?
Either way it was awesome and I played it for too long. great job!
Really loved the game! I like that you need to leave the ship in order to collect resources and earn money. I noticed that if you just hold the mouse button and rotate the laser around the ship really quickly, it pretty much instant kills enemies (not sure if this was the intent or not). Also, I eventually bought the teleporter to get back to the ship, but it didn't work for me.
Nice job! The mouse click registering wasn't too bad actually. At first I was confusing a click not being registered for just not having enough resources 😅 so after I got the resources building fast, I really didn't have any issues!
I think a notification or something to show that you don't have enough resources would help. That and some enemy AI and I could have spent hours playing this. Great work!
Nice game - I actually like games that leave you a little in the dark like this and let you figure things out on your own. Once I got the idea, the pressure was on and I felt like I had to move quickly. Nice job!
Great game! I played until what I think is the end (the space above the elevator) and had a blast with it. With the feel of it and the quick respawn, I could easily see this being a great speed running game. The movement in some places felt a little jarring and quick - for example, the section where the large spikes moved from right to left - sometimes a light press of the left key would send me flying into the spike. But I loved the challenge of it all and it's one of the few games I've played all the way through.
Great job and looking forward to seeing what else you come up with!
One of the things we thought about a little too late was communicating exactly what players needed to do. We could have done a little better with providing direction and making things a little more clear. But glad you tried it out and thanks for playing!
The slow approach of the ghosts was really nice. Also liked the camera control and rotating around the island. All made for a really great feeling game - Nice work!
Agreed on the pictures. We thought about coming up with some way of making a clear distinction between taking pictures and interacting with some things, but ran out of time and had to just focus on getting stuff cleaned up. Thanks for playing!
Love the artwork - took a second to figure out the flow of game but started to really enjoy it once it got going. Kept things feeling fast paced. I ran into a bug with the first shield battle - I was able to move around in the skill tree and select Enchant, but the battle wouldn't progress with any button presses.
Super fun - took me a few tries to finally make it through the whole thing. And that last hidden "killer" button.... you got me haha
The controls felt great and it was super smooth and polished. The only feedback I have (maybe more of an opinion haha) is maybe some balancing here and there with the clocks. It might just be me and my skill level, but the beginning felt challenging without a clock right off the bat, but then it got to the point where I had more than enough time at the end.
One of the few I played to completion though - great work!
Really like the look and the art. The idea of hugging Michael to improve your state of mind too was also a nice touch. Cool to see another game using the sanity idea like we did!
