Gameplay is severely lacking, I think you focused too much on effects and forgot the game."},{"author_name":"Benjamin","author_uid":"2952","time":"May 2, 2014 @ 12:37am","epoch":1398990720,"text":"@kragnir imho that's quite the opposite : the gameplay is nicely done but the effects could get some polish :)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I like the way waves become stronger with time + destroying cities, you can choose to go stealthy or destroying everything and face the consequences...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm not sure 2 currencies really work because you first want to get full upgrades BEFORE running for a highscore. As a consequence you never look for both ressources at the same time ( firt gem, then later gold ) so why not keeping only one and count it as a highscore ? ( so getting gems when you are full build still mean something )\r<br\/>\r<br\/>For the effects I think the game would get more relief if the foreground was moving faster than the underground. It would mean a level bigger than the actual screensize. Same for the screen shaking, they should affect the underground with less impact than the foreground. \r<br\/>I'm not sure about this, but if you want to work again on the game, you should give it a try.\r<br\/>For the shoot fire fx you could try to impulse them with 50-75% of the ship velocity when he fire so they wont be so static.\r<br\/>Using the ship graphics for making the ship explosion particle also feels a bit weird. Using some specific ship parts graphics would have been better but I guess we can't do eveything we want in just 48h :D\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Thanks for the game I had a lot of fun playing it !"},{"author_name":"CiderPunk","author_uid":"7534","time":"May 17, 2014 @ 4:26pm","epoch":1400343660,"text":"incredibly satisfying being the bad guy! excellent job!"}],"images":["ld29\/37088-d5220298aeeb0e1d9482a8aa6dc0b282.jpg","ld29\/37088-c8238253e4bf0dd461bf9960b9d4bc66.jpg","ld29\/37088-089df4277398eb98a8fdf2be29e60e36.jpg","ld29\/37088-514321924106df5a61a9f3e847679a66.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/onedrive.live.com\/redir?resid=10E3DF3749FCAE2C!21019&amp;authkey=!AM4XPy0-n0SAB6k&amp;ithint=file%2c.zip","text":"Windows (XNA)"},{"url":"https:\/\/onedrive.live.com\/redir?resid=10E3DF3749FCAE2C!21026&amp;authkey=!APTrSYLxrUEn0F8&amp;ithint=file%2c.zip","text":"Windows (MonoGame)"},{"url":"https:\/\/onedrive.live.com\/redir?resid=10E3DF3749FCAE2C!21018&amp;authkey=!AOHZZ5zSdrE6pgg&amp;ithint=file%2c.zip","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"18316","g_author":"37088","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"18345","g_title":"There Is Gold Beneath The Surface","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"614","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/37088-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/37088-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/37088-shot2.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/37088-shot3.PNG-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"You are on a mission to gather gold on a distant planet.\r\nThere is gold beneath the surface.
