the idea is to go back and forth between towns buying and selling to make more money, cause the resources are different prices at each town. originally I planned to add boat upgrades that you could buy with the gold you make, but didn't have time.
not bad for a first game jam! it took me a few tries before I understood what was going on. I thought the point was to avoid the predators while trying to get food (which was pretty fun). but getting caught by the predators moves you up the food chain. so it's actually a good thing to get eaten?
this game is awesome! played it for like a half hour! wall guys were annoying at first, until I realized I could build over/ behind them. THEN THEY WERE F**KED!!!
cool game! wish it was more clear how high each block was though.
my winning strategy was to build a 9x9 grid to lvl1 around the king, then a 7x7 grid on top to lvl 2, and 5x5 grid to lvl3, then a 3x3 grid to lvl 4. then try to build up more but I quickly forgot how high each block was so I just started spam clicking everywhere until I died at 11+ minutes
very creative idea! and great visuals! the controls were pretty floaty and it was hard to get your character to go where you wanted. I literally laughed out loud when the rocket blew up at the end! that was hilarious!
thanks. I did have a few other upgrades in mind but didn't have time to put them in the game. and there is a button panel towards the bottom to change the speed of the game.
yes, I can see how that could be confusing, I had intended to give more instructions with a "how to play" page, but I ran out of time. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
gameplay was pretty fun and engaging but there was a game breaking bug that would send you to round 4/3 where the player can't move but your opponent can
yeah, it was down when the jam started so I couldn't post the theme on here until I woke up, I did make a yt short announcing it and shared it in our discord server though.
there actually is a limit. the bullet's disappear after 5 seconds if they don't hit anything. also, the red wall of death speeds up over time, and the zombies walk speed and spawn rate also increases. so if the game is too easy in the beginning, just keep playing and it will get harder
I couldn't get the game to work, the game opened to the title screen, but the play button wasn't clickable, I tried the enter and space keys too and they didn't load the next scene either. so either there's a bug, or I'm not smart enough to get it to play
that is not a bug, it's a feature, the snakes use ice dice which give a penalty to your roll by decreasing your luck. by the end of the snake round your luck is so low it's hard to roll anything higher than a 1. (we did this to add more stratagy) the two boxes beneath your energy are your draw deck and discard pile (they don't really effect game play too much) thanks so much for playing our game, glad you enjoyed it.
the scenery in this game is beautiful, and the concept is great! I never expected to see a sorry/trouble style game in this jam. But two small changes that would be nice: the scenery and UI sometimes get in the way so it's hard to see where all the pieces are sometimes. and it would be awesome to have an AI for the enemies for those of us who don't have 3 friends to play with. I understand that was probably out of scope for a 48 hour jam though. over all, good job, Great game!
