Colonize by lovetocode999

[raw]
made by lovetocode999 for Ludum Dare 46 (JAM)

Try and keep a mars colony alive by growing plants and keeping them alive!

Gameplay:

Click anything that is obviously a button and it will do what it says :stuckouttonguewinkingeye: Besides that, you can click the dome to show plant related buttons. Then click it again to hide them. Click the meteors coming down to blow them up, thereby protecting your plants. Try and grow the plants needed by the colony, as shown in the bottom left corner. ld46-screenshot.png

Quick reminder to get more players: Use a thumbnail for your game. Otherwise your game is presented with this grey box. Some great Games are not played because of a missing thumbnail ... You can still change it by editing your submission page :)

Fun little game. Gets difficult maybe a little too quickly.

Fun game, with interesting graphics and a cute little soundtrack. I'd say it needs a tutorial of some form because I was a little confused at first.

Nice little game, easy to get into. It gets really hectic quite fast though :)

Combining a shooter with a clicker game is deffinitely a novel idea, wish the difficulty didn't scale up that quickly tho. I barely had time to get a look at the options inside the dome

Nice game! I was having fun, but then it seemed like some of my clicks stopped going through, and since the difficulty ramps up really quickly it means that I die really soon ;-) Would have loved to have a laser gun upgrade or something like that. :D

Time for a mass comment reply!!!

@mypalmike Thanks! Sorry about the difficulty, there is a bug where the meteors start to multiply after playing for a bit. :confused:

@broken-robot-studios Thank you! Sorry that the game was confusing, I hope you were able to figure it out eventually!

@gildar76 Thanks, sorry about the dramatic speed increase!

@jonasmumm Thank you! Sorry about the speed, that is caused by a bug which makes the meteors multiply.

@johnfn Thanks! Sorry that your clicks weren't going through, the laser gun has a cooldown, which I should have made a bit clearer :sweat_smile:

Some visuals for gun cooldown would help, but still there was too much going on in my opinion and nothing was clear enough to make any sense of it for me, so I was overwhelmed by meteorites pretty quickly and died before I got to know how to control all the stuff. The pacing and learning curve is the culprit here I'd say.
