Man I had so much fun with 3match game! I really wish the space ship part was something different or faster to beat I like shmpus but not that space invaders style and there is just too many enemies. But the loop of collecting scrap, filling the machine and then having to 3match it was fun as heck!
I think the game could benefited a lot from some tweening after certain actions. Had fun playing 3 match section tho.
That thumbnail immediately grabbed my attention btw
The shooting part was supposed to benefit from upgrades bought for the resources gained in the Recycler part. New weapons, different shields, possibility to donate the water and biomass to the planet to improve their population etc. were supposed to bring variety to that otherwise repetetive gameplay. Some of these upgrades are technically already implemented, but there was no time to create the UI for you to buy them.
There should be definitely more animation and fluff to the game events, yes.
