Digging into the ground felt really good and performed really well. Unfortunately when restarting the game after dying, all terrain that was dug for me became gaps in the ground which one could fall through and die. Seemed an interesting enough concept though!

Developer

thanks,

The terrain issues dint occur in the game editor and only in build so I have no way to fix it till now but I have reported the issue to unity so it shall be fixed soon!

Submitted

The graphics are so impressive! The game was fun, the only problem was the colliders of some of the rocks, other than that it's a very great job for one weak :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks,

The rock problem is now fixed but the new build will be available after the voting period

HI, I have played your game and I appreciate that you completed a terrain and an fps controller in just 7 days but unfortunately, my pc could only run your game on 25 to 30 fps, so it was hard for me to complete your game and that's why I can't give a full review but I have rated your game based on my observation. congrats for getting more than 20 ratings

Developer (1 edit)

thanks!

It's wierd how you got only 25-30 fps I have a few questions if you have time please answer them

1.What are your computer spec's (I don't have a dedicated graphics card but still I got 45+fps, I also have only 8gb ram, with Intel i5 processor)

2.what Was battery if the battery was less it does actually reduce performance

Also note in the first digging test I only got 5 fps 😅 with a just a plain terrain,and no doubt unity crashed every few minutes

Submitted

actually i have a i5 ten gen computer and I was running my pc on battery

Developer

That's not the best thing for performance I would 30fps on that is nice considering the amount of trees, digging feature and the post processing

thanks!

There is text at bottom telling what is happening like asteriod falling...

The goal is written in the first line of description of the game i.e. find a boat

 let me know if you have some more feedback.

Although I couldn't complete it, I did phase through the boundary rocks and reach the end of the terrain. The tornado is quite cute to look at from afar though. 

Another problem beside the rock colliders is that when you restart after dying, the places that had been dug out previously have no material on them and you can fall directly through them to you death

Overall, a very interesting idea and some more polish on the art part of the game would make it amazing!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks,

I have fixed the rock issue but came to the issue from another comment

I didn't know The hole issue it actually worked fine in editor if you scroll down the comment section I have given the form link where I reported this bug

Developer

also can you let me know what you didn't like about the art as I have only got very positive feedback on it till now

Submitted

Nothing, just try to have more varying textures since, from experience, solid textures on a big terrain aren't the most beautiful things to look at. But, that's just another thing that can be polished when there are no time constraints.

Great game, though!

Developer

thanks,

In the full version I will try to add a variety of textures.

Submitted

Sure, just take your time and have fun doing it!

Submitted

Pretty impressive for one week! nice job!

Developer

Thanks,

2days for me not a week

Submitted

great concept and good use of the assets would recommend enhancing and extending it into a full game

Developer (1 edit)

thanks,I will surely make it into a full game.

If you are interested in the game updates you can follow me!

Submitted

Hahaha not sure what I am suppose to do in the game haha
But i did enough digging an underground house hahaha.

Developer

Well, you have to find the boat and go near it.

The twist makes it tough though

Submitted

Wow, 3D shooting. I loved the environment. As everyone is saying about the rock thing, I felt it too.  Rated.


I'd love you to play mine and rate too. Its a blend of unique platformer and top down genre. I bet you'll love the challenge.

Developer

Thanks!

Will play your game and rate too

Submitted

Very creative idea and the art is pretty cool, my only criticism is the thing about some rocks not having colliders but overall very fun experience :D

Developer

Thanks!

I will make sure to add colliders to them

Submitted

Hey your game has got some pretty good visuals along with chaos theme, though I would like to point out that I was able to walk through some of the rocks!

Still great game!

Developer(+1)

Innovative idea. Nice game.

I played your game and here are some feedbacks:

-Some of rocks do not have colliders so I could go through them.

-The weapon could have had some animation when the player moves. You can use procedural animation with sine function to do just that.

Overall the game was very fun to play. I am eager to play any future games you make.

Would appreciate if you give mine a try:

Thanks!

I was making the animations but could not make any good one. Decided do no animations instead of bad ones.(Lol i did'nt know what procedual animation is i will have to mess around with it to get it working)

You can follow me to play any of the future versions I to will play your game just give me sometime.

Submitted

I really really like the digging functionality! And the random chaotic events and natural disasters everywhere haha

Just two things: I would put a border around the map just so the player can't fall off and also try adding some music! :D

Developer

Thanks!

There is a border but the way the digging system is work it effects colliders so maybe the border dint work

I will also try to add some music!

Submitted (1 edit)

The sound effects are really nice!

The concept itself is unique and cool

I like where this game is going currently!

Hope u like my game too!

Submitted

I played your game and heres some feedbacks:

-Game concept is super cool! I want to see this concept as a real game! If you keep updaeting this game it can become really good game! Keep it updating!

-When i get "Wasted" sign on my screen, press esc and then press retry can sometimes be annoying. So you can appear cursor when player dies.

-After players die there is appears empty surfaces at whereever we dig with lasergun. I know you said that on comment section but i just want say that again

-After we see control page i think "PRESS C FOR CONTROLS" text must disappear

I appreciate your work! Keep it updating please, this game has potential!

Developer

Thanks so much!

1.I have made the cursor visible already but the submission time was up so that will be 100% updated after after the voting period.

2.I will wait for unity  reply

3. I will remove it too

If you are interested in what this game will turn out you can follow me!

Submitted

Sure, you got new follower!

Developer

Thanks! can't wait to try your game.

You made my day

Submitted

I like the laser gun It looks cool. I also like the concept when you use your gun for digging great game. Rated! 

Check mine play and rate my simple game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-6/rate/1177859

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Pretty cool game. The graphics is just too good. The UI also seems pretty neat...

Developer

Thanks!

It will be appreciated if you could rate the game from stars above the comments section.

Submitted

graphics look good.  love the digging feature. lacks some background music/ambience. sound effect gets kinda annoying over time.  also, when you replay, the ground where you last dug before dying disappears and a hole appears in there.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks! 

I only worked 2 days so couldn't add the best music/audio.

The replay feature and the ground getting a whole  well worked perfectly fine in editor but not in the build(I have told this unity here)

I came to know that end moment and did not have time to fix:(.
