I enjoyed the game very much.
My only critic is that the bullet flies forever, so it's really easy to shoot somewhere and make thousands in a few seconds. I think it should have a time limit or something that prevents it from traveling indefinitely.

Really fun game! The game has a nice loop that is very engaging, risking the orb's health to go out and get resources is really fun.

I have a few suggestions if you wanted to improve:

1. Add some sort of background, a number of times I moved away from the orb and couldn't tell if I was stuck or not simply because the background wasn't moving.

2. Add some sort of health indicator for the gold blocks and buildable blocks. It doesn't have to be complex, just some sort of tint making the block get darker the lower health it has would be fun and let the player know how much (about) is left.

3. Adjust the sound effects some. Hearing the same sound effect for collecting gold each time got slightly annoying near the end of my playthrough.

Overall a fun little game! Would love to see you work on this some more and see what you can do with more then 72 hours!

Hello, thanks for checking out my game!

I can agree with your feedback, the sounds do sound repetitive after awhile, health indicators should've been added, and I should probably add an actual background other than just a gray background.

This game reminded me of a mobile game Dani(the youtuber game dev made)
It was quite fun shooting those circles, and protecting the orb. pretty simple mechanics
and overall a good time.

It's way too easy to just build gold walls around the orb and do nothing. Still had some fun with it though.

The difficulty curve in this game is a little too low. It was boring and I waited. There were more stuffs in this game, but it took too long time to see them. It took too long for me to actually face the challenge. But good job anyway.

To be fair, I agree with you, but when the jam ends and when I get time after or during Brackey's game jam,  I plan on adding more enemies, bosses, guns, and overall make the game more fun to play.

Just need some more QoL changes, such as a minimap to not get lost from the core or even the visual graphics of a wall tearing.

Pretty cool and simple concept,  some of the art felt out of place because it was polygons and pixel art but it was fine,. Base building idea was very fun and creative so overall a pretty good game!

Really liked the building and going around gathering resources concept.

Very interesting and simple game concept this kept me playing for a long time. Well Done!
