Going for several abilities is actually something we like to go for in game jams ourselves, so props for that. :3 I like the unusual \"3D yet 3\/4\" or something perspective and graphics overall. The game was a tad difficult, but I bet that's because I accidentally bumped into two emerald heroes and fought them simultaneously. :D \n\nIf I were to suggest anything, I'd give some other simple ability to use from the start, like a simple AoE spin or anything really; that way the beginning would be more engaging, besides, RMB is free anyways with LMB being required. But even without it the game is full of content for a jam, and I know how hard it is to cram everything you want into three days of development - been there, done that. You probably had tons of ideas on what else to include yourselves, so I'll say this again - it's a really nice game, well done, guys!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"djlink","author_uid":"1008192","time":"2018-08-15T06:33:15Z","epoch":1534314795,"modified":1534314795,"text":"Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe.

It feels really polished. I like how fun it felt to beat up people and buildings. I did feel \"balancing\" was too easy, so I made it my mission to get population to 0.

The animation and FX are superbs too, and the music is catchy!\nPunching innocent people to oblivion is also extremely fun. The game is way too easy though, I kept the \"balance\" (and by that I mean population was under 15% at all time) for 150 years and got bored so I let the heroes kill me.\n\nThe heroes are stupid (and I know it's a game jam, balancing enemies is hard) but they are also way too weak. I had to let them all gang up on me without moving and it took them 10 seconds to kill me. The fact that you regain all your life and that the difficulty doesn't scale up is a problem.\n\nI hope you fix this for a postjam version, I really enjoyed playing your game! :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"smogen","author_uid":"1059386","time":"2018-08-19T07:00:06Z","epoch":1534662006,"modified":1534662007,"text":"Played to aout 150 years. Really love the game. Especially all of those little inofficial references to infinity wars and other hero movies and shows.\nLove the small planet games, one of my favourite formats.\nThe only thing is, it got repetitive after I figured out that the easyest way to success was to just quickly mow down the bosses, which was not hard, and then use the space bar ability. So rasing the difficulty and\/or maybe letting the game have a win situation like getting the population to 5% would make it even better.
