I was so confused at first but the unique art of the game compensates for that.
It becomes frustrating for me coz I spawned a well on the slope & then I can't take that spherical thing close to that well.
It's a good game but hard to understand the concept if you are like me who doesn't read descriptions before playing.
Yeah, those hills were awful. You can get under the sphere things to kind of hold them in place while they connect, but getting them close is another matter.
Thanks a ton for playing and for the great feedback. I'm really glad you like the art.
I'm kinda the same - I only read descriptions if I can't figure it out from the game. I intended for an intro where there's a brief explanation and you get launched out of the ship in your own pod, but ran out of time for that and the more city buildery stuff I was thinking about.
Totally confused and was just running around until I got attacked by aliens! Still not entirely sure what I was supposed to be doing but kicking the aliens and the pods was fun. Loved that you took the theme literally!
A well rounded off entry. only the how to is missing. i didnt understand what the pods and the wells are for but I enjoyed kicking alien boldores XD.
Oh lol I shoulda known there was a pokemon that looked like that. I was just trying to not make them spiders. Thanks for playing and for your feedback. With the wells and pods I was trying to make a sort of city builder with a minimal interaction set from the player, where you establish a colony and they, like, terraform or something. When the pods are close enough to the wells and held still for a moment, they automatically start pulling resources from the well. When a pod fills up, a dude pops out, and basically I ran out of time so they just stand around or detect rock and lay on the ground. They can be kicked, too
I did not understand the game initially before reading the game page. After reading it, I think it is really interesting. This are my main conclusions:
Good job!
Thank you so much for playing and for the awesome feedback. I'm really glad you like the look, cause I spent a bunch of time at the start figuring out how to get it all working. A few things fell by the wayside, like a proper intro/outro, as well as music. All the sounds were added in the last couple hours of the jam, and I hadn't settled on a feeling I wanted for the music, so figured the wind sounds would have to suffice as soundtrack.
Thanks for checking out the savegame feature. Glad to hear it sounds like it's working.
And thanks again for good measure. Have a great day!
