Nicely done, I wish there were more levels.

A few suggestions for improvement:
1) some chill music in the background
2) do not remove clocks and arrows on restart
3) change cell size of the tileset from 16x16 to 14x14, it would make it fit better
4) yeap, more levels
5) replace grass with some other tile that is more obvious that it is impassable terrain

Man, this is such a cool concept. Sadly it ends up being really confusing since the game only tells you some of the controls.
I might be missing something else because of that, but the fact you have to reset all of your placed objects to edit anything is really a shame, and makes thinks overly tedious.

The little animations and borders around arrows & clocks add a nice bit of polish, the game looks really nice, I just wish some of that effort went into QOL changes to the gameplay.

Developer

Thank you! I know it is not polished, since this was my first game ever, I just wanted it to be done. Also, I am also missing the placed objects saving, had it in my plans, but the fatigue and time shortage took over. Anyways, thanks for the feedback!

Aw man, hope you do an update once judging is over. Really impressive for 48h if you haven't actually made a game before!

Developer

Thanks! I will try implementing a function, that keeps all the objects on restart and hopefully I will come up with more levels!

This is a neat idea, but in my opinion you would need to change or add some stuff to make it really work:

  1. My biggest problem and what made me stop playing was that I had to restart all over again every time my tank got shot. There is no way to anticipate the timing you will need to avoid getting shot at some point, so you need to let the game run and see if you'll make it, but press pause too late and you won't be able to add the clock you need because your tank will already be on that spot. I think a better way to go might have been to not let the player pause and add stuff after pressing space, but also not removing everything they placed when restarting, so they can just tweak their solution.
  2. Obviously no sounds makes the game looks way more unpolished that it is.
  3. You could use the space on the right to add more explanations, it took me a while just fiddling around to understand what I was supposed to do. It's OK to discover stuff by trial and error, but the player should at least have a small idea of what they are supposed to do (I have to praise the use of the rails to guide the player though, that was a cool idea to put them on the right track - pun intended).
Developer

Thanks for the feedback, it was my first EVER made game, so I had to learn everything from 0 and yes, I find many of the things you said missing too, but just didn't have enough energy and time to correct them because I spent a lot of time figuring out the game itself. But again, I'll def do better in any upcoming jam. And thanks again!

Maybe you could try to continue working on this one a bit, that could be a good exercise to see how those things are done, and you'll be better prepared next time you do a jam!

I have an error when launching the game : "Error: Could not load game data at path '.'. Is the .pck file missing?"

Submitted (2 edits)

The game WILL NOT run! It needs a pck file. If it's made in godot, there's also an option to embed the pck in the exe.

Please fix this, the game cannot be run!

Gonna hold on rating in hopes that this is fixed, otherwise it would get a flat zero.


EDIT: Now that the game's fixed I revised my review and added another comment. I'd recommend letting everyone that made an "it doesn't work" comment know its fixed

Developer

Hey, how to do that? I cannot find any info about how it's done

Developer

I added a zip file, with both exe and pck

Submitted

Won't open without pck file
