Pretty fun game. I like the trains giving the blueprints. And how you had to build stuff. It would be nice I think if you couldn't hurt your own structures. Because I found I missed a lot, and would hit them. But good job guys!

Woooooow that's my dream game coming true <3
I really love that 2D in a 3D world. The spatial interface? Just amazing!! The bomb enemy guy? Explosive!!!
Some upgrade shots or powerups would fit quite nice. But overall, it's reaaaally good!

@joaosoliva Did you build any bullet dispensers? You can get machine gun or rocket bullets!

Thanks for playing, glad you liked it!

Obviously some of the components of the game were unfinished but the most important parts, the mechanics were very well done! It would have been nice to see at least some sound effects to round out the entire package. Lastly this has a great learning curve which makes playing it over and over all the more fun. Good work.

The biggest compliment I can give you is that I've bookmarked and will be gunning to beat that score ;P

@hyperscope Our sound guy joined the team 3 hours before the deadline, so our audio situation was definitely rather improvised! Would've loved to add some sound effects, but 72 hours is 72 hours. We'll probably make a post-jam build with sound effects and improved balance/content/visuals later; I ended up quite liking this one.

Thanks for playing! You ain't beatin' my record though.

I like the art too except for the block-trains. Another cardboard-cutout sprite for those would have been nice but it doesn't bother me to much.

The music was fitting and the gameplay quick and fun.

I don't think the theme was missed but the game didn't support it to well imo.

Overall a fun entry with good mechanics and an interesting artstyle which i really like.

258 scrap! I'll take it! Fantastic job! A+ experience all around, only thing missing is the theme.

Really fun game. Loved the art style and mechanics. Music was good too, just wish there were some sound effects. Would've been the icing on the cake.

I love the visual style!

The game controls great, and has rock solid gameplay.

If there were two things I wish:
1) It would be have been really good to have a shooting sound effect.
2) Sometimes enemies are off-screen, but they can shoot me. It's hard to predict that.

Really fun game and easy control system. I would not mind sound effective when firing the gun

Very impressive that this was completed in such a short time! Love the combination of 2D and 3D art, and the shooting effect feels very satisfying. The difficulty ramps up quick and it has a lot of replay value trying to figure out how to succeed.

Maybe the speed could ramp up just a little slower though :) Overall awesome job!

Great entry! I really loved the diversity of enemies and buildings, the difficulty curve is great too, so is the music. There really should have been a gunshot sound though, the screen shaking was asking for it!
