Overall an interesting experience! I liked you taked on the theme and the game played pretty well. I played up to the point where I felt like I had a good grasp of all of the mechanics.
Some comment I have:
- Hitting one brick generator is very punishing, perhaps you should've told/taught the played that exploding these does collatoral damage
-It is unclear what the button does where you first start the game. A very small tutorial instructing the player to build some blocks and then press the button would do wonders (think a bit of text at the top of the screen that dissappears once the task has been completed)
-The sfx are great but some music would do wonder.
-I wish the difficulty would ramp up in the form of more balls spawning/ the balls speeding up.
-I really like how you deal with the player dying
It was a neat game though and definitely has room to grow into a really fun game, well done!
Interesting idea. Once you build all the block generators you basically win, as you can’t fail unless you chose to.
I like how the difficulty naturally ramps up when the ball gets to bounce against the wall more often when you get higher up. The sound effects really helped the experience but money was too cheap and easy to get for there to be any real challenge.
Well done. I like the idea that you are building walls in this game. A good idea for the theme. Polished in the art and sfx. And the only issue I found is balancing, which is hard to make in a game jam. But the game suddenly becomes super easy once u know u can farm money and keep farming and keeping upgrading while the ball can only destroy one level of a block.
The gameplay is good, the idea itself is creative. I would play even more! Great job
I really liked the graphics!!
One of the better games i saw so far. good graphics, great idea and also very fun! does take a moment to understand how to paly but amazing job!
Very fun game with unique mechanics, I got around 900 score but then all my structure got destroyed by the ball. Really nice.
I was intimidated by the giant wall of text at the start of the game. There could be a better way to teach me that stuff, also I had no idea the generators would explode. It is a fun concept and it was enjoyable to play. Could have used some music too! :)
