Really cool idea nice job
Very interesting concept. It would be nice if you could remind the player what each action does when you hover over them, especially the diamond and the lightning bolt which weren't very clear. But it's still a very cool idea.
Very cool concept for an abstract strategy game. Unfortunately, I couldn't finish a game since it would often freeze before showing the "Next Round" button. Also sometimes the voronoi algorithm would either leave parts of the map unclaimed or would claim areas outside the map. In one case, I was gaining 2000+ points per round.
With some bug fixing, this could be a neat game. The voronoi aesthetic on the menus is very nice as well.
i just love voronoi diagrams, this game has won my heart :)
Cool idea.
really original and great game! i really wish to play more of it but some crashes make it hard to reach far enough for the game to truly end. this is the kind of game i would definitively pay for a full release tho ;)
Simple and fun game. Nice work.
Really cool concept, it is definitely hard to predict the voronoi cells. I think one thing that would have been nice to kind of animate the regions changing as the turn progresses, it's much harder to build intuition when you only see the before and after.
It's really interesting and I wonder how balanced it is, it could be cool as an online pvp thing like chess or advance wars by mail, you would probably have to rework it so it's more playable in 1v1 though. Also no guarantees anyone would be interested, it's a very complex and interesting game but might be too hard to understand for the average player, still really cool and I'd love to know what high level play looks like. Definitely one of the most mechanically interesting and original ideas this jam.
Also! I appreciate the tutorial, the icons are a bit unintuitive so some work could be done to make the UI a bit more clear, but the tutorial really helped me quickly understand what to expect which was great!
Wow, thank you very much for the great feedback. Yes, the animated changing of regions was planned, but unfortunately had to yield to more important matters in the end. I will definitely incorporate that because I'm looking forward to the challenge. The icons are still from the concept for another setting. I think they will be changed again as well.
I think you got something. You might want to add more input feedback (ie: for example, which action was picked by the player, because clicking on "next action"). It might help your idea to shine! Also, I played with the right click while it's write to use only the left click. Did I broke something? :D
You are right, right click also to be used. I added it to the game description. Definitely it needs more feedback, I wrote it on my list, thanks for your feedback.
Was really cool, did not know about voronoid before! Thank you for making me discover it. Unfortunately my game crashed when I was about to win :')
Nice, then I unlocked the education achievement. Thanks for your feedback and sorry for your crashed game, the voronoi calculation is a little bit buggy.
Interesting idea!
Unfortunately, the game breaks each time I split into 6 points, but I had a lot of fun getting more land.
Thanks for the Feedback, while reading this the scales fell from my eyes. I think I added only 5 images for the roman letter inside of the leader knob.
In addition the cell generation is a little bit vobbly when having lots of dots, which are close to each other.
A bit confusing gameplay and controls, but great idea! :)
Cool idea! Would be nice to have a text based log of what's going on though.
Thanks for your Feedback. Yeah you are right. I planned to show more information, but wasn't sure what exactly is important and what would be too noisy, so I disabled the panel for the jam.
Very interesting to see Voronoi being used as a core game mechanic! Personally, I find it unintuitive to come up with any strategy. The action wheel UI is also rather cryptic and hard to associate with the corresponding action, even after reading through the tutorial. On the other hand, huge fan of the transition screen. Would love to see that aesthetic through the whole game! Excited to see how far this idea can go with a bit more polishing on the aesthetics and clarity of presentation.
Thanks for your honest Feedback.
I'll think about better fitting icons and in the long run the wheel will be replaced by cells as well.
Most of the time I tried to maximize the income when having a large area and move the leader when the position is bad. In addition I should add more Information, so it is more clear what is going on.
I love the use of voronoi cells for a strategy mechanic, though I was confused on how exactly to progress.
Thanks for your Feedback.
Regarding the strategy:
I think it depends on the situation, if someone is strong in the middle, I try to take over the big space on the edges. If opponents are on the edge, you have to stand as close to them as possible in order to take a large part of the inner area away from them.
The game idea is really interesting, I like the abstract concept of it. It’s a bit buggy, especially with the duplicate action. I think with some patching up, it could be a really deep interesting experience.
Thank you for the friendly feedback. I also think that bug fixing is on the agenda now :-)
Very cool game idea :)
Thank you
