I really enjoyed this. I find the entire game loop extremely fun and relaxing.
Some improvements that could add to the overall experience
Overall really solid game, great job.
Thank you :)
I will add some more visual feedback in the next patch to make it more clear for the players on what's going on, and will look into adding audio
I love this! I could genuinely see myself playing this to pass the time, as I do enjoy this sort of game. I think the way you gradually lose speed alongside temperature is neat and realistic, it encourages you to ensure you have enough heat to make it back to the shop and makes the drinks quite an important item.
This could be an issue on my end, but I did end up being unable to place drills after a while? The round thing showed up but no matter how long I held left click down or where I tried to place it in regards to the scanner (it showed 1 and in the menu I hovered over a level one) it just wouldn't place. Again could be my laptop rather than a game issue.
And some feedback:
Overall, I really enjoyed this! I think this is a great submission and will be coming back once I have a bit more time to play more :D
Thanks for the feedback! I don't think there was an issue with your device, but rather the game not explaining well what's going on. In the next update I'm planning on adding more info when it comes to placing items as each item has a set of requirements which is difficult to teach to players through 1 short tutorial. It should explain more what's going on and why you aren't able to place down a certain item.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The game was great! I love the concept and loved the art style!
Few things to note here:
Overall, I really enjoyed this, is was a fun concept, well done! :)
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.
I'll make an update after the voting period is over with some bug fixes and changes with your feedback in mind.
Cool! I really enjoyed the game, well done!
Very interesting game, I like the atmosphere of the ice planet! :D
Some notes:
Thank you for the feedback!
For the third drill, there has to be a scanner on the ground showing the number "3", and you need to have a tier 3 drill selected from the menu. I did notice a bug where the icons are rotated so it might be confusing on which drill you've selected, but the icon should still show what tier it is, for example "III"
I figured the number above the scanner indicated how many drills you could place, not what type! Okay, my mistake… I didn’t read the tutorial carefully! :)
That's fine! It's a good indicator that it's not very clear. I'll change it for the next update as the displaying number was a bit rushed
