Good idea but sometimes I feel like my score is too dependend on the randomness of where wanderers generated.
Thank you! Yeah thats a bit of luck sometimes. :)
It is a pretty great concept. It kept saying “The world paid a price”. Am I supposed to do much better?
Thank you!
The sentence is always there to motivate you to try it again :)
So maybe have a threshold where if your perform well enough you get praise? Getting the ominous feedback no matter what you do too hard on the player. <3
Mmmh yes, great idea. I will do that. Thank you!
Very cool game, it's simple and I love it, though there is this one bug where you can place torches on water, probably not intended, but with a few updates to iron out the bugs and a way to go to the next randomly generated level (unless i missed it) it would be a amazing game to pass the time
Thank you very much!
When the jam is over I will post some updates and yeah thats a bug. I will upload a bug fix when the jam is over :)
Very nice puzzle Idea. i think i found a bug, i could place torches on the travelers but they wouldn't get warm by that and I could place torches after the game finished, I also would like to be able to replay a constellation instead of rerolling. I really liked that the travelers started to smile when heated :)
Thank you!
Yeah thats a bug. After the jam I will upload a bug fix and some other updates.
Awesome puzzle! The procedurally placed travelers give quite a bit of replayability as for a highscore you need a bit of luck to be able to place torches against edges of board/where multiple travelers can benefit from one. I ended up playing quite a few times and enjoyed it! Nice bit of polish with the audio and art as well!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
Pretty cool concept, I got 26
I think the game could be better if you leaned more into the puzzle part, so maybe you can't place torches on water and you have a limited amount of orthogonal (4 directional) and 8 directional torches and you need to save the travelers somehow. Ofc then you can't just place the travelers randomly because the game might be unbeatable so some kind of level system would be needed. Well, that's just my 2 cents at least
Thank you!
Thats actually a great score. Its also my highscore. Great Work!
Thank you also for the great feedback. I will develop more on that game after the jam has ended.
