But does it have any effect on the countdown? I've assumed I wasn't good at it because while the bar was maxxed-out, I still had the countdown going down fast!
Hi! I'm was able to play the game on my Mac. Sadly, I don't think I've got the beat :( Am I supposed to jump/move when the loop thingy points to the top ?
You can already try it on mobile directly in a browser. Though it might be hard to place creatures when the loop becomes very large, 'cause the hitboxes.
10/10 would play it again even if I wouldn't play Florence again. You had me for a second at the end... Don't play with my heart like that, almost had an attack ! The music, the art, the narrative, everything is top notch. This bug-filled city reminds me of the Vermin tv series.
Holy fk this game is so good. Probably my favourite game so far. Simple and effective use of the theme. I'm already on loop #16 as I write this and gonna keep going. Good job team!
Thank you so much. As my first proper jam, that means the world to me (and to us !) 🙏
EDIT 4: It's been four days and I haven't seen my wife and kids. The only thing that matters is to keep the loop going... jk but had to stop because the loops became too slow :(
Just gonna copypaste what I said earlier to somebody else lol: NASA Computer > More Loops > Profit (?!)
You forgot to say the backspace key remove the last letter lol, makes the game a lot easier. Another issue is it only works with QWERTY keyboards. You used physical keys instead of logical ones, or something like that.
Went as far as wave 7. Git gud people. Love the design choice of making the train go in only one direction, even if some disagree. The art is great, the whole vibe reminds me of FTL... Good old days !

Wow, thank you so much for the kind words, that really means a lot to us 🙏 We’re thrilled the core gameplay clicked with you! We tried to keep things tight and focused, so it’s great to hear it resonated. The idea that it could end up in Northernlion’s backlog honestly made our day.
Thanks for trying it out! Yeah, it’s not the easiest, but there are some pretty OP builds hidden in there. Find the right combo and you might feel unstoppable 😎
I really like it visually, great use of Kenney's assets. The game juice is also top tier, espcially when doing the switch thing. I'd say what made your game fit the jam theme is allowing us to "noclip" in walls at many locations ;D
Thanks! I'll make sure to do that! I'd like to implement enemies, timer and scoring, and random generation to allow replay, with a minimum score to unlock new levels (one or two additional ones).
Absolutely not scope creep at all hahaha, just me not giving the jam the commitment it needed. Only worked on it like 10 hours or so. Had I known the reception and kind comments I would get, I surely would have finished it.
At least for the first time I actually submitted something instead of giving up!
EDIT: it's ok for the gravity to be that high when trying to land, because it adds to the challenge. You could even make it so that turning the ship consume fuel, then you have to manage that resource if you want to do a successful landing. But I found it frustrating to always be pulled toward a planet outside of the view.
EDIT 2: maybe reduce the number of planets? That could do the trick. Anyway, I really liked your game. Can't thank you enough for doing a MacOS export. :D
