i was a little annoyed that i could soft brick the progression by increasing power beyond capacity. it would be ok with some ui to help visualize this. also the power bar doesn't make sense (unless it is shared but i don't think it is ?).
still had to go and see the end, so it's a success in my books.
with that stat going down to 0% i wasn't sure if i was doing well or not. seems like the only way to really clear dandelions was with rabbits. I did not understand the use for flames either. Music loop a bit too short.
Still the idea wasn't bad, and i wanted to see a level 3, but couldn't reach it despite seeing the victory screen for level 2 multiple times.
i liked it, simple and to the point. I think adding hp to the "hero", while arguably making the game easier, would actually increase the stress and increase the will to live.
As other posters have noted, right now it doesn't make sense to go for the safe zone.
I didn't understand this at all ... Looks like there is some work behind it, so it would be worth having a more detailed explanation on the actual controls (what to click on, in which order).
Reached wave 8, then abandoned the game. Difficulty should increase. I'd like to see maybe some skin around the cells, so you can see where the next wave is coming from, instead of relying on the white cells movement, which feels a bit cheaty. White cells should die after absorbing a number of viruses too. And i'd like to see something that prevents the white cells clumping up too much, i think that would make it more strategic.
some effort went into this, but i experienced technical difficulties. At first i didn't know how to click on the cards. Turns out i had to click on the top of these. then the mouse was very floaty/laggy. I think the bevy team added something for that particular problem https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/commit/14fbf1e1681aa71a6446d26d301538... Too bad i can't see your code, i'm curious about that issue.
Anyways good atmosphere in that game, and nice transitions.
only two levels =( ...also yes the zoom is annoying. i didn't know at first if i had to place a road on the bus station itself or not. regular music should stop when victory music plays.
good idea, but i felt that i never knew for sure how well (or more likely bad) i was doing. Also there was some delay on the sounds so i was not always certain i was hearing the one i expected to.
i had some lag on firefox, so i restarted it on chrome, and the models were all squeezed up. i must confess i didn't have much success playing this game =(
actually i investigated a little bit. And here is the trouble ... I'm playing on my main monitor which is 4k, with a 1080. Most games are ok with that, but that's like 4 times more pixels to fill than regular 1980x1024. I had my daughter play the game (yes it's that good), she played it in on the other screen (regular size this one), and it was silky smooth. It's not the first game i have this issue with, some of them go around the issue by rendering on a smaller image, then displaying that scaled up. Still, the game is nice, but i think that kind of fidelity should work at 4k, tho maybe not for a jam game =)
graphics are nice, as is audio. I 'd like some way and reason to rearrange the modules, and of course more of these ! maybe a bit of rng cheating to have a chance at starter when none is in the reactor or selection yet.
Simple and to the point, that's exactly what we want to see in game jams. Puzzles are not too hard, but there si still the added challenge to get all stars. Added points for music and sound effects.
Nice graphics, simple but good enough. controls are good too. simple puzzles, but that's what's needed. I would'nt have added red rails before they're actually required (except maybe at that crossing room). And i regret the absence of any kind of audio.
All in all a very good submission, one of the best.
haha that music man... silly just in the right way =) ... gameplay is very good too. If something had to be said, i would complain about the boomerang going through walls, tho i'm not sure how to fix this and still have the boomerang coming back in all cases. Oh and game is way too short, I want more !
