Ratings are criminal! This masterpiece deserves so much more! Sure, it's buggy, unplayable on day 1, and the dlcs are more expensive than the actual game, but still1!!
All I had to do was get the Stage II Time Vortex to slow time down enough to get it consistently. Normally even the first stage is only obtainable after the skip, but by defeating the goblin tribe and taking the goblin spear, you can actually unlock the door to the room where you get the vortex by attacking with the spear through the wall, because the goblin spear is just barely long enough to hit the lever inside that opens the door.
Yoo! I just found a skip for the section with Mt. Breze! Normally you have to do the first fight with Hurcan Lord of Winds halfway up the mountain, but if you go into the Mines of the Sun and get the Omega Spade early, you can actually dig under the trigger for the fight! Good for how BS that boss fight is anyway
All this is great advice that I really appreciate! (My one thing to note is that the mini game "Click!!" Is scheduled to appear every 25 minigames, starting at 26.)
But thank you for the pros and cons! It really makes me feel better after being a little unenthusiastic when I submitted it.
A pretty good game! The art and music are absolutely fantastic, and the idea behind it is a good one. However, I think this game suffers from being for a game jam, as it feels like the gameplay isn't fleshed out a lot. You could, say, give survivors different stats to show if they'd be good for getting supplies, protecting the group from wild animals, or being the one who provides food for the Donner party. There's a lot you could do with this concept that unfortunately couldn't be explored. This applies to the narrative, too. A game like this has the potential to be a great branching story, and maybe choosing where to go and which survivors to keep. Overall, if you were to flesh out this game and make it a full game, I'm sure it would be great.
It was really fun! I had a real good time playing this. My only problems were that the enter key was kind of hard to press when using the arrow keys, and that the timing for the level "Re-cycle" was a bit too annoyingly generous, as I kept hitting the spikes. Still, an amazing game!
