I, too, had difficulty figuring out what the goal was. Once I figured out how to walk around and craft, it felt like that was all there was to do?
PS - The tiled background on the itch page really clashes with the game itself - makes it kind of hard on the eyes.
I agree, that the game needs more information! I was too focused to add content and again deprioritized a proper tutorial... I have added a Screenshot explaining a little bit the mechanics in the post. Hope that helps if you want to retry or for new players!
Couldn't finish the run cause my boss came into the room but definetly putting it on the list for once im home :)
If you intend on extending your game, you should know that after i got ~50 demons, things start to slow down - had to end my run because i was down to like 1 Fps in the end ^^,
A small annoyance was the misplaced blocking of mining demons (they block the space above them, instead of the one where they are placed). It felt a bit cheaty to stack them up, but it sped up the pace a little.
All in all very fun and satisfying game :)
Some notes: The character was pretty slow and there was a sprint mode. Just make that the default, or make it a toggle. My left pinky hurts from holding down LShift... Also, [the Escape Sin](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/55/ld55-hell-binder/public-service-announcement-escape) was committed here too...
@thoastbot If you want to retry you could give the windows build a chance :) Yeah its getting laggy quite fast on webbuild... Amazing, 30 minutes is really a long time to play a LD entry. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
@stmatn Haha Ive seen the bug happening and deprioritized it until the end as I had other gamebreaking stuff. Really funny to see you found it as it only happens on the bottom row, right?
But crazy the content you did in such a short time.
Loved it!
Was enjoyable to play, I like graphics the most.
So much depth for a game jam game too
Overall, very nice game!
Enjoyed it
wish for more content of this game
Awesome game btw. I love a good factory game
i dont like laser SFX i think its too much and too noisy. doesn't comfort neither satisfy my ear.
Overall its a good game, keep up the good work!
Yes so my main takeaway is a little less content but more tutorial. Hope to do better next time! Had also luck that the webexport worked fine this time, altough it was very laggy.
