I liked the animations on the generators and the look of the main character. Also, I liked that the Dr Who-ish sound effect when the enemies killed me.
Good Job!
It was indeed tons of work, I practically didn't do anything else for a couple days (I am lucky enough to have a girlfriend who was willing to take care of me :D )
Seems almost incredible you did this in only 48 hours! :).
Is the third level actually doable in a reasonable time? If I get one power charge after the other, this will take ages as I constantly have to shoot those guys. That is why I quit there after about 15 minutes and three tries. This gets frustrating after a while.
Really nice game, congratulations! Keep up the good work!
@gonutz : it is possible, you can collect the resource from the nearest resource spot (the text is a lie), it should not take more than 3-4 mins to complete it.
@lazzor : I know... balancing this game was not an easy task. For some player it will seems too easy (like @kubap commented), while for others will look like impossible :(
If I had more time (and energy to expend on that) I was probably going to add different difficulties level, to let everyone play at their own peace.
Anyway, I'm not going to work more on this project. It taught me a lot and maybe next LD I will be able to make something better :D
Very good, you give us a choice, keep energy fast but with a risk, or safe but long.
Very good idea!
Good job!
- The graphics are very nice
- The models and animations look great, and have great character.
- Great gameplay mechanic
### What I think could be done better:
- The generator shouldn't be able to get over 100%
- The crystals seem a bit overpowered
Also very nice ending, back home with my ice-cream-breasted wife and smiley face house (although I did push her down the platform, just to see if I could) :-)
I loved that you seemed to spent sometime putting so much elements, even if it might not be perfect, but it was matters for you to make what might be a complete jam game. SFX, Music, 3d art, animations, particles,...etc.
My only two points that i didn't like, was
- frame rate was not good for such a game on browser. I didn't try the standalone though.
- when i walk backward, i was expecting to see the character facing me, not just moving back with the back.
