First, the visual style and atmosphere are excellent. The graphics look awesome and there is so much content for such a short time!
Second, the progression and upgrades are really good. I felt a bit bad killing the bugs, but survival comes first, so I committed bug genocide for the sake of staying alive. The beginning and the end of the progression are done beautifully. The middle part feels a bit slower to me, progression drags a little and I wanted it to move faster. But that’s minor. Overall the game is great. I recommend it to everyone!
999 satellite dishes out of 10!
very cool project, a first-person survival clicker where the player needs to collect antennas to call a rescue team, very creative)
I really liked the gameplay and how you had to revisit the previous areas with new equipment.
**But it was morally hard to kill those cuties**
Looks like I’m the only one who got stuck right at the beginning 😅
At first, I couldn’t understand what I was supposed to do. I interacted with the terminals, but everywhere I didn’t have enough resources. Then I started trying to use items. I managed to place a satellite dish, and resources started coming in. But I incorrectly remembered that unlocking the fields in both cases required several thousand resources. So I went to explore the ship, crawled through it, and ended up outside. At first I thought it was a bug, then I started doubting myself, because it seemed like there was nowhere else to go. I was even looking at the later areas through the gaps 😅
I reached the giant snail and then fell down. Since I had spent so long trying to figure out what to do, I went back there again and fell down a second time. After that, I tried searching for resources by attacking the walls with the starting weapon. I thought maybe some script hadn’t triggered properly. Then I started trying older versions of the game. In one of them, I discovered that one of the fields could actually be unlocked with a very small amount of resources. Finally, I managed to progress a bit and gather some resources =)
The game looks good and surprisingly large-scale for a jam project. I might come back to it later
By "stuck" I meant that I didn’t understand what I was supposed to do. I did notice the "I’m stuck" button in the menu, though, and used it when I fell through the textures :)
