The closer you get to the track, the more speed you gain. I's interesting that you assumed there was a specific sweet spot, maybe we should take that as a hint :)
I see the core idea behind the looping turn scheduler, but the combat seems very much unfinished and unfortunately doesn't use that core idea in a satisfying manner.
Very cool idea with nice looking art, but lacking in execution. I feel like making the controls more responsive and immediate and giving the player more options in the meantime would go a long way here,
Good example of how a game with simple elements can come together to something that exceeds the some of its parts. Definitely agree with the other commenters that it should be much faster at the start
I really like the idea of putting the player into a situation where they have figure out what the rules are even though it goes against common game design wisdom
Could be a really nice small game if you polish it a bit more. Escpecially if you lean into the previewing path and setting up the level carfully before running it
I like the long-term strategy nature of the game, but it would greatly benefit from either removing turrets or (better still) previewing the next waves and keeping the irreversible turrets
Yes, we were running out of time and we didn't think people would keep interest for that far, so we didn't make an ending. Good to know that someone actually finished the whole thing anyway.
Thank you all for all the engagement. I am quite surprised so many people played and liked the game, since I expected the mechanics to be a rather failed experiment. Sorry for all the bugs. The development was pretty rushed and there were a lot of bugs we didn't catch. I'll patch it after the jam, but I'm not planning on developing it further.
Playing this game in the browser comes with the disadvantage that you trigger random functionality while pressing certain keys. Still original concept (and that's what's all about)
