Short and sweet. The mechanic with walking around the planet is very cool and I'd love to see it built upon.
thank you!
Love the change in gravity as you went around the planet! I enjoyed going around to get the ship parts. I was able to escape. :) It fit the theme well and it was fun to fly around. I didn't quite understand the flamethrower. It didn't seem like I needed it at all to beat the game. It seemed like the ice would just be there somethings and other times would be gone. Regardless, I had fun! Great job!
Thank you! Yeah, the ice melting could have been communicated better. It melts in the sun and re-forms in the dark, but the flamethrower is supposed to melt it a little bit faster. And yeah, you don't need it to finish the game. Thank you for playing!!
Heck yeah! I escaped the planet!
Fun little game. The mechanic with pushing back the ice is interesting. I could totally see that being fleshed out as part of a bigger (non-jam) project. I feel like, as is, that mechanic is a bit underutilized, which is understandable for a jam game.
You can rocket up to what I think looks like a default gray clear color, haha. Might be something to look at fixing if you feel like messing with this anymore.
I like the spinning camera (and I like that you thought to include an option to turn it off too). Just in general, this is good work.
Wow thank you for the extensive and constructive feedback. Not sure I'll revisit this game but those are definitely things I'll want to fix if I do. Thank you for playing!
Fun little game and I escaped! I like the mechanic of the snow/ice expanding and having to flamethrower through it - provided some tension.
Might be cool to add a timer so you can try to shoot for faster times each time you play. I’d also love to be able to zoom in a little bit just to enjoy the art work a little more closely.
Thank you for your feedback! I agree, I wasn't able to do as much with the ice mechanic as I would have liked. I'm glad you enjoyed the art!
