Glad you enjoyed it! I wish I could have done it like that, but transferring the "decayed" texture in gpu memory back to the cpu (to count the filled-in voxels) is computationally expensive. The framerate would have been unacceptable :( Maybe some clever shader trickery can solve that, but I had enough on my hands with the gameplay.

Dang, this is really hard. Is there some kind of blocking mechanic I am missing? I was really proud of myself when I got through the level where one first teleports, and then you just put 5 enemies into 1 corridor I have to drop down into. The boomerang mechanic is fun, but the levels are just impossible to beat, at least for my mortal self.
That was pretty cool. Quality art, really good music! (The tutorial has no music, is that intentional?) Made it through the game in around 20 minutes and enjoyed every second of it, even though I vehemently dislike moving platform levels in super mario titles.
Something went wrong with the boss sprite during my run; The collider was in the correct place, but the head sprite was offset by its own size to the upper left. That didn't stop me from beating it, so all is fine.
The music is nice, but I really dislike the restriction to just one button. It just isn't fun clicking on tiny buttons in a corner that (may or may not, often they don't) move the player up and down. And with that many upgrades strewn throughout the level I didn't even have to shoot; The only enemies are diagonal corridors, which become impossible to traverse without a collision at around ~12000.
Well, this is a weird one...
Without any instructions the first thing I did is escape your carefully cubed in map through a gap, with no clue what to do next. Killing myself using fall damage and choosing to retry didn't get me back into the main game area either.
One restart later I noticed the red pillars and followed them, reading the hint about the boxes, going into building and hearing scary sounds, but was never in any danger. I even walked back to the apparation once to make sure. Getting the hint about the lights led me to pull the first lever I could find, which was actually a monster? I thought I was protected because I pulled the lever and promply died :D After pressing retry I just ran somewhere and arrived at the ending. Pretty sure I skipped quite a few things.
All in all: This might have become interesting with the protecting light and the monsters (and candles? never saw one, I think?), but I was able to run straight through to the ending by accident.
Howdy, and thank you for your encouraging words and the criticism! The newest update simplifies hunting and combat by allowing you to assign tasks to multiple units at once. It also improves unit pathfinding and should fix the bugs you mentioned. I hope this places our game at just the right level of "frustrating" :)
After realizing that there is a kind of rythm to the enemies I was able to breeze through the first 7000 units and then craaaawl through the last 3000 because the boost, and even just the normal speed, are just way to fast xD Got 86 seconds.
I love the aesthetics, as you already know. There just isnt much to do here...
Cute little game, if a bit too easy. Online leaderboards are awesome!
I dislike the discrete 8 direction steps so much though... Especially as they are arent distributed like I would expect - It doesnt put you into the closest approximation of your direction, but the one for which you have crossed the intended direction position. Don't really know how to say it better, like you made it go mathf.floor(direction) and I want mathf.round(direction).
And there a gap in the level in the top down shooter section, upper right corner.
I enjoyed this! Just getting through all the levels was easy on my first playthrough, and my time gradually decreased from ~70s to now 49.7s. When one is aiming for shorter and shorter times one starts to notice the "pro track" that you have build into the levels for people to follow - sadly I found myself overshooting those quite often and having to limit my first few jumps to get there :( It never felt right to limit my ability artificially because the place you put some jumping pad was where you ended up. Still, great game!
I really like the ridiculousness of this!
The main gripes I have with this game are
- The fast movement and high gravity (Just too hard for me, especially those small time windows to boost while you fall in the later levels feel almost frame-perfect)
- The punishing level design (In some levels you get killed after you boost because right after you collide with another floating enemy. Maybe give us some time of invincibility after the boost is over?)
- Why make us charge the boost? What difference gameplay-wise does it make, just waiting after collecting a star?
Don't think I didn't like this game, I very much enjoyed playing till I had to ragequit :D
I would strongly suggest not to go with a physics based approach to grabbing with a game like this - sometimes grabbing an animal felt more like one of those rigged claw machines than a spaceship designed to kidnap. As others have said before, this also needs sounds and some more interesting surroundings, but a cool idea nonetheless.
