Interesting concept, do you plan on continuing working on it after the jam? Have you heard of Into the Breach? Has a story about traveling back in time to prevent giant bugs from overruning the world. Feedback wise I think when it comes to 3D platformers it's smart to have an artificial shadow directly under the player character so we know where we are located for precision jumps.

Looks amazing! I think theres lots of room for you to expand from here, and you really should! It would be great if when you are in the defense stage that you as the player can do more than just build, maybe use your laser to fight or use the attractor to bring enemies closer to the turrets. Also, it would be great if you get points a bit more easily, as it felt like it took too long to get enough for upgrades. Really solid first game!

This might be the longest time I've spent on a submission so far. Completely lost track of time. I love the gameplay loop, the upgrades take awhile to get but they feel so rewarding. The idea of randomized upgrades is cool but It took a really long time before I saw the first carry capacity upgrade which is something I kept hoping was a thing so I could make less trips, and then it took even longer before I saw carry capacity 2. 

In the beginning it didn't feel worth it to participate in the defense phase of the game because I felt like I wasn't getting much more back after buying turrets, especially without having any upgrades. So I started just time jumping immediately and just using my gather phase resources on upgrades for a couple loops. This wasn't an issue but I wonder if it was the intended experience.

Anyway I had a ton of fun with it! It's really impressive what you achieved in 10 days. There's a lot of complexity going on here, it feels like 2 or 3 games-in-one. Amazing job!

This game looks like a lot of fun and I really like the concept. I was so eager to keep playing, because the little robot is really cute and the whole building and resource gathering mechanic while fencing off enemies looks so promising. Unfortunately I wasn't able to build. Maybe I just didn't know how to place the buildings or it isn't implemented. I could see the blueprint of the building when pressing "b", but I wasn't able to really place it. Also collecting the resources, whether it was from enemies or in the other world. I couldn't spent it somewhere, when I jumped in time it was just gone. Also couldn't use it on upgrade screen when jumping back to the resource world. It was constantly "0" in the upgrade screen.

But I can imagine where this is going and I am a big fan of this idea. Hope you will keep working on that. Good job so far!

Great job on finishing your game and man your game looks like it is pretty full of good content. It is quite an involved game with a very good game loop. I played as much as I could, but I'm too used to playing with invert y-axis controls.

For me the camera was rotating continuously even without input, so it made aiming a little weird, but great game!

I love your graphical style. The soft shading and palette choice, and laser beam vfx and boxy aesthetic, they all come together just right. You're a pro in this department.

I think your tutorial / the player's first 60 seconds is the weakest element here. I tried to read your tutorial a couple times but I have to admit my eyes kinda glazed over. Miles better would be a short, structured scene that introduces players to each core element of the game one by one before turfing them to the main scene. I would also start the player with the double jump or like, a little hover backpack for this guy would be cute, right? It would make the platforming way more forgiving and encourage freer exploration.

All in all, very well done! A fantastic entry and big undertaking for 1 man in ten days and certainly one of the most impressive projects I've seen in the jam so far. 👏

This game is great, it looks nice and runs so smoothly. I know most people have already said it but I really like the beam. I feel like I could just fire that aimlessly and have fun. Good job on doing so much in such little time! 

I'm amazed how much you made in a ten day period!

It took a while for me to really catch on to the mechanics, even though I read the instructions (a few times.) And it also took me a while to actually become efficient in collecting resources, once I really understood what I was doing.

I wish that I had more time to invest in the game, I didn't get very far at all in the grand scheme of things, or so it feels. I was only managing about 150 resources at my peak, and that wasn't nearly enough to make progress in defending the Time Portal.

I can't nitpick anything, I know this must have taken a monumental effort to put together in such a short time frame. Except! I wish that they upgrades weren't randomized, I wanted to take double jump the first time I saw it, but couldn't afford it. Then it didn't appear when I could, then it did appear but I didn't see it before choosing another upgrade because it was in a different position in the upgrade grid. (I did get it eventually!)

Aside from that, I think the music could be more prominent. But that's really all I can say. I'd love to see what comes of this, if you decide to develop it further!

So far in this jam this game has the best visuals I've seen. I love the beam cutter thing, very satisfying. One thing I noticed is i could only hear the sfx of it when the camera was close to the player controller, so I'd either change the beam to a non-3D emitter sound or switch the listener to the player controller so you can hear it more consistently. I like that it was essentially two games in one, also! great work

At lot of effort to build it. Scope creep is everyone nightmare in a gamejam ;-). Good model usage and nice visuals.

I missed the memo that you need energy for building towers ;-). I stopped at 20 as that was mentioned in the HUD. Some more information would help enjoying the game from the start. 

Very good submission.

I can tell that you put a lot of effort into this one! There is so many gameplay features packed and details. Good job on the submission!

I could tell right away from the screenshots I was gonna love this one. You came up with a lot of gameplay features for a game jam, and the game feels really nice to play! I particularly love the platforming and how good the movement feels. I would love to see this project further fleshed out with sound design, particle effects, and more! I could definitely see myself getting super into this game and playing this as my comfort or relaxing game. Great job!

Amazing visuals. I love the blur effect. The mining is really fun.

Loved the visuals and level design! The game was smooth and appealing

Awesome work. I liked the level design and the atmosphere of environment very much. smooth controls and easy to adapt to the game. However, some work can be done to tell the player what to do in the game. 

This is a really cool game! I think there's so much you could do to expand on this too. The gameloop was very addicting. I think it was pretty difficult right at the start, but with some level scaling and what not it'd be smooth sailing! Awesome work!

The graphics remind me of Astrobot. I had a hard time in the bug wave, but the environment was really nice

The game visually looks really impressive, but there needs to be more instructions. I was able to figure out how to fill up my container to 20, but after being teleported it is back down to 0? So I can’t build? Also, the cost is $20, but I am unsure if ores are the currency since I can’t build anything anyway.

Wow, that's really cool! I really liked the game design, it was very pleasant. The gameplay itself is also good. Honestly, at first I thought that the game was clearly developed by more than one person. I am glad that there are such games. Good luck! :)
