This is very well done. The graphics, the features, the polish, it's great. Unfortunately the gameplay feels lacking. There's a lot going on but it just doesn't feel fun or rewarding at all. You get rewarded mythic stuff for pressing on a level on the map.
Thanks for the positive review! I would've loved to add a cool win screen but I really didn't have any time left to do more polishing. Your ideas sound great though!
I get it, it's heavily inspired by Papers Please, but the gameplay loop of having to type a number over and over became tedious right away. PP relied on your ability to find and memorize the conditions of valid documents, but it seems you completely rely on typing numbers in this case.
I really liked the Runner unit because upgrading and buying more of them gives a good sense of progression. Buffing them with Haste from the Mage Tower made it even better!
I was very impressed with the visuals! The game has very good vibes overall and I enjoyed walking around looking at the animals on display.
I didn't quite understand what you're supposed to do. My guess was using the notebook to connect the animals to their source of food, but there was simply not enough information on what you actually had to do. One could also just guess which name belonged to what animal. All in all a very difficult challenge to achieve with only a few lines of information per animal and I didn't complete the game.
I really like how you can spin the planet around to explore it (I made a similar game last jam!). It was a bit confusing at first what to build but it made sense when I saw it's similar to most factory games.
The visuals are quite nice and I could tell quite some effort went into them, as was for the music as well. I didn't quite understand if there was a goal to achieve though, so building felt a bit pointless.
Interesting use of the theme. The game has a bit of everything, but despite having a few combat mechanics that should could be interesting, they don't really work as the enemies just spam their attacks, making the best strategy to just try to attack faster than the enemy and not die first.
Dit doet me denken aan de dinosaurus game in Chrome. Wat me vooral op viel was de parallax scrolling in de achtergrond die visueel toch wel wat leuks toevoegt.
Leuk hoe de rennende enemy je dwingt te blijven rennen! Wel jammer dat het maar 1 klein level was en dat de interaction niet heel duidelijk was en niet zo lekker werkte.
