I like the Synty assets) You've made a great job. It's solid foundation to make interesting game.
Right now I missed the a global goal - there is no ending (or it seems that). So I don't know why I need to collect diamonds and upgrade the rover

Thank you for playing! Yep currently I tried to explain the end goal in two ways. 

1. The one is direct - kill the boss at the end of the level and return with diamonds - upgrade - try again, which is optional. 

2. The second goal is set through narrative - when time doesn't exist anymore - human nature kicks in, we start to get greedy and want more and more. So greed moves humanity forward and to do that you need to collect diamonds. So just go and collect diamonds or just waste your endless time.

And for games that are completionists, I added an option to max out all upgrades.

Nice use of assets, I like the lowpoly style, rover needs more maneuverability and could use more varied music. Otherwise fun game.

Thank you for playing! I will improve the rover movement after the jam. Right now it is a bit slow, since I wanted to add a rover speed upgrade in upgrades, but unfortunately didn't have time. You are right about the manoeuvrability, with a bit more mobility could go a long way. Music was actually last minute touch with a couple of sounds during the polish stage.

I like the concept and love the looks of the game but I wish the rover would move and turn much faster. I also wanted some knockback for weapons.

I much preferred the bombs (saw you asked about that).

Thank you for the playing and the feedback. The Rover gets slower the more diamonds you collect. It was intentional to be a bit slow, so that you can upgrade speed but didn't have enough time to add the upgrade before the submission. I wasted some time trying to change the camera and on tutorial. Will add this upgrade after the jam. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it! The name is a reference to the Bond movie. I imagine if James Bond got old, he would pilot such a Rover with Q providing the machine, weapons,  communication, and M talking how important those Diamonds are.

Really fun! A great combination of action, strategy, and tactics. The ability to upgrade your "trips" is really neat and adds an extra layer to everything.


The only thing is I would make it more clear when the crystals become depleted!

Yea... with all the rush, i just added an image of a diamond on screen going from red to white like a progress bar. I know it is not a perfect solution, but with the energy I had at that moment it was the only thing possible. Thank you for the feedback!

Very smooth gameplay. The  overall speed of the rover was a bit slow for me - maybe that could be an upgrade in the future? otherwise, I liked the upgrade system and core loop.  Graphics are really nice and well put together (Earth Office is charming).  And the  cannon  s design is great - I like that it doesn't shoot in a straight line  and that you have to upgrade to that.

Yep, the more diamonds you gather, the slower your rover gets. I was planing on making an upgrade for the rover speed, but unfortunately didn't have the time. I will add them after the jam. Nevermind... thanks for playing and for the kind words. Btw did you try the laser beam weapon?

Reply
Bumbling WizardSubmitted1 day ago (2 edits) (+1)

Yes The effect is really cool! Call me a dwarf, but I  prefer the bombs :D

vellar92Developer1 day ago(+1)

wow... really cool! But I am glad I did two weapons, because I am getting different opinions from different players. Apparently it was well worth the invested time.

Thank you for playing! I am glad you enjoyed it! Yea the level was build in a hurry(time is always against us in a game jam), so you could get stuck in different places and there are a lot of flowers and trees just flying in the air. Will figure something out after the game jam.

I so badly wanted to kill the big bad guy with the shield. Even with maxed bomb weapon didn't succeed lol. Cool game idea with the mining/collecting and upgrading. Nicely done. Enjoyed it.

Thank you for the feedback. I am really glad you enjoyed it. Did you notice that when the shield is activated, more enemies appear around the statue? You have to kill'em all to remove the shield. :)

reliqtechSubmitted1 day ago(+1)

ya, I noticed groups spawning when I started drilling. Must've probably left a bee or so alive and that's why the shield stayed up. He was chasing me the entire map, so may have missed an  enemy at the other side. thanks lol

Thanks again! if I had more time I would make some kind of closed environment for the boss fight, but ah time is always against us. Will think of something for future update after the game jam. Again, thanks for playing!

Hi! I've played it, and it's so amazing for solo dev can build this with such as complex and well built like this. But if I can give feedback, this game would much easier to learn if deliver with camera top down style (I imagining top down view like Deep Rock Galactic Survivors). Overall this game it's well made, especially solo dev, so yeah good job.

Thanks for the feedback. The top down camera is a great suggestion. I figured it out during playtest that the top down camera was an better option. Unfortunately didn't have time to try it out. It was either that or tutorial and decided to do a tutorial.
