Enjoyed the original concept and art assets! Gameplay loop was very smooth, but got a little repetitive towards the end.
Very polished game, loved it all, but the gameplay felt hard to me, probably because I have no idea what I'm doing though XD. Good correlation to the theme. Deserves a high rating for sure.
The art and music is absolutely amazing, I enjoyed the beginning with the scenes and story telling. It sets the tone really well and gave me chills. The game play itself is not the most intuitive, as I spend quite a while figuring how to place things. Overall amazing ideas and design! High rating!
great game
The atmosphere is unreal in this game, the graphics, animations, sound, music it all blends together so well. Unfortunately I don't find the gameplay intuitive, what do all the buildings do? Which buildings can be attached to each other and why? So a small tutorial would really help you get right into it I think.
Edit: I overlooked the tutorial on the main menu. I have read it multiple times and cleared some things up, but it is still a bit vague for me what the actual goal is.
I'm glad that you liked the atmosphere. I am sorry that you are confused with the gameplay, I'll try to explain how to play in depth.
I hope it will help you to figure out the gameplay (if you will give it a try again).
I followed your guide and almost beat the game first try. I can see that the gameplay has been thought out well and would like to see it explained to this degree in the game as well, it really helped!
The gameplay is solid for me, it takes a while to adjust as the enemies get spawned almost immediately at the start, but you can get by eventually and be used on keeping every node to function well. For me the easy seasons are the tornadoes and meteors, as for aliens, I find them kind of difficult due to their speed.
The audio and models work very well just as how they delivered the atmosphere, notably, with the cutscene everyone's talking about.
If the game is going to be updated or expanded out, I think the enemy's spawn at the start could do some adjustments/delay so that the player have enough time to prepare things out. Great work for all of it!
Was very impressed at how you handled the audio with your opening cutscenes. i felt like i was there! unfortunately i am not so good at these kinds of games so i didn't get very far.
The graphics were very good.
First of I will with the landing page its mind blowing , I like the game story and the graphics they are really nice :)
would play my game and rate it according
the 3d models are so funny and pretty good!!
Very cool! I love the intro cutscene.
Cool game, you really nailed the atmosphere. some difficulty settings might be a nice addition. would love to see this game developed into something bigger! nice work
I didnt win because maybe it's just me being bad at such games, but I think that the idea is coold and graphics are kinda unique (i love 3d models)
Nice cutscene. A really dumb problem I have with the game is not being able to click on a tool with my mouse
Ouch you're definitely right, it seems that broke during the last few hours of the jam, i hope it was still enjoyable nonetheless and thank you for playing!
Props on that intro cutscene. Couldn’t quite figure out the gameplay, it’s probably me not getting a grip on it, but most times I just lost without realizing why.
I'm glad that you liked the cutscene :)
In terms of gameplay, you need to place oil pumps (Hotkey: 2) on the deposits (you can find them by the smoke), and then you need to connect them with pipes [Hotkey: 3] to the building in the center. Building takes time, and you can build only a small amount of structures at the same time, so keep that in mind. To survive you need to keep the oil flowing to the central building. When disasters happen, they damage or destroy some buildings. Damaged buildings are not functioning until they are repaired, so you need to have additional pipes to keep your network sustainable and resistant to environmental hazards.
I'm sorry that it was not clear from the tutorial, I hope you will figure this out now
Sadly for me the game just seems to crash after the intro cutscene which is a shame because this looked like it could've been one of my favorites :( I think it might just be my computer so I can't really give any critique. What I can say though, is if the game is anything like that cutscene, this game is a masterpiece!
It's sad to hear that our game doesn't work for you :(
Could you show what is in your browser's console right after the crash?
Really fun game
The cutscene is great and was a really nice introduction to the world. The game takes a bit to get used to at the start due to the aliens showing up and then destroying everything relatively quickly but once you get used to it the game becomes pretty fun. The art and sounds compliment the game really nicely
That cutscene was CLEAN. Wow.
And the game is really punishing. Took me a while to figure out what to do. Overall the game has great atmosphere.
One thing that comes to mind is the background - there isnt one. It would be cool to have mountains or something like that instead of the void.
Cool game, I can definitely see the polish.
(Also play my game :D )
