I think my main complaint would be that some of the mechanics are a little opaque and cause some frustration sometimes I would be getting big juicy planets to mine, but then I would only be getting crystals worth 5 or less. At times it felt that the game made me lose and I had no way to prevent it.
The graphics, sound, and menus were a nice layer of polish. Well done to everyone involved!
The music is pretty atmospheric, but I wish you had some nice juicy sound effects to guide the player. The graphics are all scaled differently, which is a pet peeve of mine.
I don't mean to sound overly critical, I just think there's potential here to make this pretty interesting, but for that it needs a little more work. Good effort!
There are some things I'd like to give feedback on;
- I'd love a warning sound when you're close to cloning, a few of my games ended very abruptly because I clicked a little too late
- Not sure how to fix it but the optimal strategy in this game is to wait for as long as you can before sending out your drones. That's not fun.
- How about a ship that collects all the minerals in an area, starting with collecting the small ones, as a means of clearing up the game area. It gets really crowded, I'm not going to waste any precious ships on those 1-9 minerals.
- And, as with all games in this genre, you can just add more things to the shop to make it exponentially interesting. I'm having a lot of fun experimenting with the different strategies with only 3 early game upgrades.
However,
The game is amazing, it's a lot of fun, it's challenging. It's my first 5/5 this LD. You could definitely continue working on this (it's fine as it is, I'm going to go back to playing it after I've left my review)
Please feel free to have a look at our game; Paperwork, we still haven't recieved our 20 reviews yet!
Good job
