Nice game and animations. I liked how the length changed each time but I felt the battery had to be a little bit longer. I'd be at halfway thinking. i had time to play, but I should've been heading back. Still a great entry!
Thank you I really appreciate your feedback.
I really enjoyed playing this. Simple game loop, but executed with great panache. The robot was really smooth to control, and there were lots of little examples of polish that made the game feel great. Good job!
Thank you, I really appreciate your time and feedback.
Pretty simple but fun game :O The concept reminds me of wall-e wich I love.I can see myself playing this game on mobile.Maybe adding new obstacles can spice things up.Loved it one of the best games i have ever seen in this jam.Excelent job :D
Side note:Maybe lower the volume of effect sounds :)
Thank you for your time and feedback. I really appreciate it. Yes the sound effects is something I am definitely going to fix once the jam ratings have finished. I ran out of time on the sound effects.
I like the idea, look, and feel of the game.
I walked away frustrated though.
So here's my advice:
-Lower the sound of the vacuum and moving around, the collectables make a very satisfying sound, but they're over shadowed by the other sounds.
-Give the players warning about where the point of no return is. There should be a very clear indication at what point I don't have enough energy to get back to my cord. As of now the low energy alarm goes off often at some point where I'm too far out to get back, so I have the frustrating rush back with out any chance of getting to my cord. Or worse yet, getting a fraction of an inch away from my cord and failing. If the alarm went off sooner/later based on how far they were away from the cable, players wouldn't have so many failed runs.
-Giving the player the option of the A/D keys, would feel better. The mouse and arrow keys meant I was pulled over to the right while playing, which just felt weird.
Overall,
The game feels and looks good, but I was left frustrated.
Thank you for your time and feedback, I really appreciate it. Yes the volume of some sound effects has been fedback as too loud and is certainly an easy fix once the jam judging has finished. I ran out of time before I could balance the sounds. I will be adding different difficulty modes which will include a clear point of no return indicator for the battery also. The A/D control is a really quick add on and players will be able to choose either A/D or the arrow keys for movement.
+ Cool concept
+ Fun to play
+ Loved the art style
+ Sounds and music
+ Fits the theme and focus really well!
- I think that the collision box to unload could be a bit larger, it was hard to align the first few times
- Maybe the initial length of the cable could be increased? It took me about half a dozen attempts to get enough rubbish to unlock the first upgrade!
Great feedback, thank you for taking the time to play. There is definitely actionable stuff to amend in the game there, once the jam has completed.
Glad to hear! Was fun to play, thanks for making it!
Nice game although a bit difficult. The art was nice and fitting.
Would have loved to see a more accurate display of the power on my robot and/or less junk required to upgrade the cable.
But all in all great submission :)
Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
Nice Wall-E inspired game. Great mechanics, nice entry
Thanks! I really appreciate your feedback.
This game is so cool and special.
Please check out our game if you want🙂
Thank you, I really appreciate your time and feedback. We played your game yesterday, rated and left feedback.
Thank you for your feedback I really appreciate it. Yep I will be fixing the sounds once the jam is finished.
It was fun! I couldn't finish it because I ran out of battery everytime, always too greedy. Loved the details on the background art!
Thanks for your time and feedback. I appreciate it.
Really cool game - love how you made the charging, if I only could use a and d to move it would be great
Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it. Your suggestion would be a really quick adjustment which I will schedule to do once the jam has finished.
The game is good. One thing I will say however, the sounds of the wheel and the vacuum could have been much quieter. Also, I feel like its sort of like a clicker game in that its all about scaling up, but you never really evolve or need to develop new skills. The theme is well incorporated.
Thank you for the feedback I really appreciate it.
What a cool game, very simple yet very intense. I really felt like a distant relative to Wall-E with the battery life of my laptop haha. Love how you got collectibles and the theme implemented, great job!
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback.
That was funny little game. Love the concept behind the energy and charging, yet i think it would be realistic if the battery didn't charge instantly, but took a couple of seconds. Anyway, good job!
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback.
This game has a simple concept, yet it’s very fun! Art style is cute and I love the music and sounds.
If you had the time, then I’d also like to ask if you want to play submission. I’ll appreciate your feedback :)
Thank you for your feedback. Of course I will try your game.
Nice and simple but also very fun! The art is adorable i love it! The trash collections is also a fun take on the jams theme. All around Great Work!
It would mean a lot if you could check out my Jam submission if you get the chance. Thanks!
Thank you for your feedback, appreciate it. Of course I will try your game.
Rather simple, but executed well. The ability to see collectible items that you pick up is a nice touch. I feel that the wheel sound effect was a little annoying however. The art though was rather well done.
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback.
Loved it! The character is cute ☺
I really want there to be some kind of a menu for the sound (the vacuum sound is very loud).
Thank you for playing, I really appreciate your feedback.
i love it and i had so much fun playing it the thing is that at the beggining it was quiet hard because i didnt knew how much time of battery i had ( i know that there is an indicator but i personaly think that having a small timer wouldn't be bad )
Thank you playing I really appreciate your feedback.
Really cool game with a unique mechanic that makes me want to play more.
Thank you, I enjoyed your game too.
