Theme interpretation
The game take place on the MOON and you SHOOT aliens when they get in your way!
Thanks for playing our game and for your feedback!
Seriously the god of dice must favor you! Even a couple of bad "rolls" (both alien spawning & site destruction are rolls in the jam version)
can really escalate to an unwinnable situation if you just go for the sites without clean up the map.
The post jam version (the jam version was made very very late in the jam) has a more infiltration like site attack. You have to acquire a certain number of exploration "points" in order to destroy each site so you really cannot afford to let the aliens go wild ;-)
A last minute idea (mostly abandoned due to no time) was for the story to be a prequel story to another jam game of mine!
That the reason for the ending text (the only thing left in the game)! You aren't done with the aliens!!
The game page description will be updated after voting ends for this!
Very distinctive visual style. And a turn-based strategy game definitely stands out in this game jam. I can't say I won, but enjoyed making several attempts. Nice work.
If you like platformers, you might like to try our game.
Nice little strategy game, had some fun thinking different strategies of wining fast, the graphics work well and sound is fitting, also the ending is a nice touch. Nice to see more Godot games everywhere! Good job!
Thanks for trying our game!
We knew that our game is a little different (gameplay wise) than the usual strategy game (and even those aren't common in jams).
Still we though that the boardgame like gameplay could be quite engaging provided the player could understand the mechanics.
Glad to see that players enjoyed the experience!
Short and fun little adventure. I really how you took such a simple concept but added a story to it (good ending too!) and got the player invested in the outcome. Little things like that add so much to the experience.
The actual gameplay mechanic was a bit simple and the random chance for destroying the alien base confused me at first. I thought I needed some equipment/skill to do it so I left that base and did the other ones first and then realized its just random chance. Maybe the equipment/skill idea will be an option to explore.
Visuals and sound design was good. Simple but effective! Good work :)
Thanks for playing our game!
A nice story on top of game mechanics and an ending is something that I personally really want to add in all my games (as the designer/programmer of the team). Glad you like it!
Sorry about the confusing part on the infiltration of an alien site. In the original design there were more steps to do it with far less chance (+skills/items that would affected the outcome). As always, in jam games, we run out of time and replaced the system with a simple dice roll.
Interesting idea with a nice aesthetic - I don’t normally fair well with strategy games but this was simple enough for me to grasp without too much difficulty :)
It is rare to see a chess like game in this Game Jam. That is a cool thing to do and be different from all other entries.
The game might be a bit simple and not very replayable in my opinion. However, there is a lot of potential behind it if there is a bigger map, different enemy types, and also pick up weapons to destroy their structure instead of a random chance (could be frustrated).
But overall I liked it very much.
Thanks you for trying game!
We love to make games like aren't the usual action, platform, puzzle game that are common in jams.
As always with jam games all your suggestions were in the original design (except maybe the larger map - spending most of your actions to move around the map can easily become very tiring).
And the were cutted by the merciless god of 'Not enough time' ;-)
Still some of those ideas will probably be part of a post jam update (in addition of the usual UI/controls clean up, additional exports).
Really cool!
Aliens are nice they dont attack you right away ;)
good game i found it to be fun
maybe spice it up a little with more alive graphics
Unique idea, and has a nice art style!
Maybe could add some kind of resource gathering to make your attacks stronger e.g. you could clear multiple aliens or higher chance of breaking buildings?
Overall it was fun to play!
