CORRUPTION is spreading and MONSTERS are taking control over this planet ! :space_invader:

We are "running out of space" and our world will be fully CORRUPTED in just a few minutes !

We need to build a ROCKET and escape this planet as fast as possible or humanity will be doomed forever ! :rocket:

Build fast and strategically or CORRUPTION will get you. Put your mind to the test in this building game and maybe you'll make it to the end Gif monstre attaque.gif Gif construction.gif From small SMALLBASE.png to BIG BASE BIGBASE.png

Really nice concept gameplay is fun but the beginning has too much much text on the screen at once. overall though the game is very fun, nice work

Nice game, it didn't took much time to understand the game mechanics, but I would have liked some more buildings to make it more challenging. I think was too easy to win the game

Well done! The game design is very good for a game Jam :)

I liked it. I honestly didn't read the text in the beginning and went with my instincts while playing. It was a fun game. I can see this being expanded into something bigger and more awesome.

I really like this game. Took me awhile to understand the meta since the text in the beginning is too long. And the music at the beginning turn off so fast, it should have been longer.

It's nice, had fun playing this game. Quite a cool concept, totally fits the theme. Indeed, that was the game that made me feel the most the effect of "running out of space".

I like that kind of games. Even though I lost and didn't make a rocket I had a very good time.

Of course, it's all about balance, but I can't judge you because you had only 72 hours.

Improve your game and it could become something really cool.

Really good game, have to be methodic and fast to finish
the 2nd research wasn't necessary to finish the game, and i don't think that it's usefull, and adding a destroy button could be cool to erase mistakes ^^

I love the concept of the game and in general, I'm a huge fan of survival strategies (like Frostpunk and They Are Billions), so I would really like to see full version of your game :) the only problem I had with it is that web version ran pretty slow - I had to sometimes click few times on a (available) building to actually choose it.

Also, it could be better if you pause the game and show tutorials for various mechanics one by one instead of long text in the beginning. It was quite easy to get it, but the amount of text scared me at first :)

@canoo Thanks for your comment ! And yes yes the game is possible to win :smile: you should maybe try to unlock technologies faster with more lab in order to builder higher :smiley:

@lonehearts Thank you for your comment. The 2nd research is in fact made in order to fix mistakes :wink:. So yes it's not necessary but it can help to overcome the lack of "detroy button" :)

@outstar Thank you for this great comment :slight_smile:
We didn't know about the web version issues, sorry for that...

Oh yeah this is a great idea for the tutorial! We really had trouble finding the best way to do it and doing it this way would have been better :sweat_smile:

Great concept and the execution in terms of rewarding gameplay was amazing! Very fun stuff - there were some bugs that got in the way of my first playthrough (on the web version), and a functional instead of written tutorial would be great, but for a game jam this is awesome!

I love it! This game is probably the best I've played this LD in terms of game design, honestly. And one of the very few I wanted to finish (did that on my second try, browser mouse gestures messed my first run up, lol). The graphics were nice, bgm felt fitting to the overall mood (shame you didn't go for that category), and it was really enjoyable to play. Maybe it's not too innovative, but all the little game design details intertwined with the theme incredibly well, haha. Really well done!
