I have the same question, I have been playing for a while, finished 5 quests of the task board and 5 quests from the development team.

But still I only have "Metal" :(

I see on the gallery of the main menu that there's other 3 materials that appear as "????" and one of the screenshots of this page show the second material "Organic".

But I couldn't figure out how to unlock that material

Don't wait for power to recharge, just use a item as fuel to recharge 50% of the energy, its explained on the tutorial at the start.

Break something in multiple parts with "Rough", use one part to get energy and use that energy to uprade the other parts with "coarse" and then "fine", that's the game loop, waiting is pointless since it takes almost 10 minutes to generate the energy you get for each go of that game loop and don't even get the extra items.

Took me a bit to figure out, would be great if they have added a guide.

"Rough" gets you a Tier 1 + a extra Tier 1 item for each tier above 2
"Coarse" always gives you a Tier 2
"1:1" gives you a random item of the same Tier
"Fine" increases 2 tiers, but can't go higher than Tier 4
"Very Fine" increases 3 tiers to max Tier 5

Applying "Very Fine" to a Tier 5 will give you a tier 6 (ultra), this is the highest Tier of the game (as far as I know)

If you run out of energy, just feed the machine with a tier 1 item for +50% energy (all items give +50%, tier doesn't matter)

So basically you start with one material tier 3 and 50% energy
You put it into the machine on "Rough" mode and you get 2 items tier 1
Put them into the machine on "Fine" mode and you get 2 items tier 3
Into the machine on "Rough" again and you get 4 items tier 1
And so here's the game loop
You can also "Coarse" -> "Fine" -> "Rough" instead (get 3 items and only cost 10% more energy)

It seems the game is autosaved, you can go back to menu any time to check items discovered.

Researchers will tell you the exact description of the item they're looking for, its usually tier 3 or tier 4. When you give them an item with the exact description you get upgrades (faster energy regeneration, lower costs...)

Quite hard to see what's futher than the border of the screen, would loved to try this with a bit less zoom out <3

Great game! Managed to reach Top 2, will come back later to claim the first place! >:3

Yeah, the dice faces are absolutely random so it already happened while testing to have sometimes only positive or negative faces.

We could have added some extra conditional rules to avoid that instead of purely random but there wasn't enought time for that XD

Ohhh!!! Yeah, I was unsure with that one, the small ones were mostly obtained by accident, so was a bit unclear what combinations made them XD

Seems I went futher than what it was expected 🤣

Super cute artstyle! I love it!

Sad that the online scoreboard wasn't possible

Super cute! Since Scoreboard was not able to add because of time here's my score


I was testing to discover the different recipes since I didn't found them anywhere.

Recipes for whoever couldn't figure out:

cookie = 🌾+🥚
Flan = 🥛+🥚
Strawberries = 🍓+☁️

Brownie = 🍫+🌾+🥚
Shake = 🥛+🍓+☁️

SweetRoll = 🥛+🍓+☁️+🌾+🥚
Cake = 🍫+🥛+🍓+☁️+🌾+🥚

Really cool concept! Managed to reach a final score of 121 :D

Clever actually! we could have added a option to make it faster on settings.
Thanks for trying our game :D

Absolutely LOVED this one!

Took me a bit to understand the rules of the game because those aren't written anywhere but once I undestood them I got totally hooked!

Standing right now on first place with a total score of 826 😎

The game is great and challenging, and I can see a working scoreboard on the right with quite hight scores.
Sad to not be able to define my own name for the scoreboard, I guess its for limitations of the engine used maybe?

Just a small thing to point out, on the rules of the Jam says:

If AI was used in your submission, indicate the areas where it contributed in your description

And that cover its clearly AI generated, you might add the disclousure that you used AI or change that before the voting starts 😥

Amazing game for your very first Jam! This game really have potential!

If you allow me a suggestion, the obstacles all across the screen are barely a thread, I just spammed Space key and eventually touched arrowkeys. So the only thread is the lava at the bottom because the robot doesn't jump fast enought.
So exactly the same gameplay but faster obstacles and slower lava would result on a great engaging gameplay!

We didn't recived any news or feedback, also the stream kickoff should already have been started hours ago?
Jam is starting on half hour and we're completely lost wondering if there's even Jam or not...

Sorry, we're leaving and joining a different Jam

Hi! With me and some friends (team of 4) were interested in participating. We were looking at what Jams join at the beginning on the month and after a week of trading opinions we thought that the concept of this one sounds cool and would like to join :D

But even 4 days before starting I haven't seen any of the links mentioned on the Jam description dropped (Discord, the stream) so I was wondering when those will be avariable or if something happened 😥

I think I can get a better time, I did some mistakes :')

Reminds me of Rumble, the VR earth bending game where you get onto the rocks to fly, I like it :D

No need to understand, just punch everything! >:3

Okay, now seriously, there's a "how to play" button on the menu that explains the mechanics

I LOVED that one! amazing concept, amazing mechanics...
I'm not sure if I did the level 4 properly, I put all thinks together, caused a cycle of dying and changing souls so fast that ended up with me being the platform, not sure if that was the correct way to do it XD

Thanks, I pressed a few times and finally was able to play :D

I tried to speedrun it!

Lovely artsrtyle! Game is a bit short, actually... let's speedrun it!

Does this game have an end or winning condition? I used all tower slots and reached wave 30 with 5000 eyes without anything to puchase with them, and the waves just keep coming...
Why don't they let me alone!? Oh wait! now the title makes sense XD

The fact that the bullets of your own defenses can hurt you makes so much sense and weird not seein that on other tower defenses :o

I opened the game but I only see a rotating cube with the texture of the cover.

Tried to press all keys on ketboard or click everywhere but coudn't play the game, Am I missing something? 😥

Should be a play button or something that I don't see because the resolution of my screen?

The music of undertale is ringing on my head when playing this XD

"press alt + F4  to exit" you evil XD

really cool game! I felt so smart when I used the bridge to move the player to the key, and then so stupid when realized that is the key what I have to move

I was wondering what happens when the yellow bar empties... it just grows to the other way.

I feel like I was pranked XD

agreed, we initially wanted to do different levels so the start wasn't that hard and players could slowly catch the mechanics, but we were running out of time XD

Also thanks! I'm glad this time we were a bigger team so I was able to spend more time on artwork :D

yeah, initially we wanted to make the difficulty progressive (introducing one organ every level) and the stomach and brain were supposed to be the hard ones.

But at the end we were running out of time and made one single level with all the organs, so it's like starting a game for the last hardest level 😅

Nice concept, it could make for a good mobile game.

I managed to conquer all units but got no win screen, not sure if cuz it bugged

I really like the ambience, makes a great game.

The walking took a long ride to go side to side on the cave, my biggest fear was to have to start again so didn't wanted to see what was on the skull XD

I was on the "?" but didn't found anything there :(

thats cute :D 

But a bit anoying the big texts on the screen

I like the art, but I think I didn't understood the gameplay 😥

I understood that all items became alive during night, so all you pick up during the day won't attack you later.
But didn't managed to understand how to use the shop or how to defend myself when surrounded

Loved the game, the level 9 reminded me to the kind of tricks that happen on Baba is you :D

The game is so complete! World generation, different attacks, diferent forms.

Impressive that everything was made by yourself in such a short time, music, art, gameplay...

You're really skilled!

I would also like to learn to make my own music for my games, but honestly even when I go with a team don't have enought time to record normal sounds cuz I spend way too much time on the art XD

I hear the screams, the people screaming, the sound of perish, THE FEAR...

But I need food, I must consume them!

The best strategy seems to be: not eating humans.

After the first house spawns, the rest of the houses spawn in no time and your screen gets filled with a human colony XD
