Great atmosphere! The visuals matched the music and game concept perfectly – It’s really quite striking.
The gameplay needed some work though, I found myself frustrated by the clunky movement and lack of space to park tiles. On my first game, I accidentally got myself trapped by my own blocks with no way to win :-[
I’ll admit, it took me some time to warm up to this game. I still don’t fully understand what would cause certain animals to appear. But seeing my island fill up with buffalo and then giants was super cool. I appreciate that you embraced the tiny 7x7 tiles.
Here’s my finished(?) island – buffalo grasslands to the north and a big colony of giants to the southwest.
You totally nailed the metroid look and feel! I loved jumping around this subterranean planet. It’s a pretty big map for such a short jam – maybe too big?? (Side note: this game made me think about how much of the real 2D metroid games are based around tunnels, rather than large open rooms.) Props for composing your own music on top of everything else, even if it’s a little, uh, “chill beats to shoot metroids to”. Nice work!
