Struggled with commands at start but once it clicked it was a fun little game. Great work!
Very cool concept. It took me a minute to figure out the mechanic, so I would recommend some guidance at the start.
Really fun game! The overall concept works great with the theme and the presentation is very nice! However, the planet resets every time I look at the dictionary and go back, but other than that, Great work!
Diggin' the concept of terraforming and manipulating the environment of a planet. The art is crispy and typing commands combined with drag and drop was a cool mechanic! Squash some of the bugs mentioned in the comments, add more commands and you'll have something spicy.
Very cool concept, but I did鈥檛 understood how to make it work
I manage to spawn things typing but didn鈥檛 look that it was doing anything to the planet
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT - you have not selected the genre game jam 7 in gdevelop for this game if this game does win it will not be applicable. other than that the game is good. problems:- progression is very slow, storm does not work, ui is not ui-ing?. other than that really innovative game.
Hi Billota!
Thanks for mentioning the genre, I didnt know about that requirement.
The game is/was supposed to have more events, which would speed up progress. Storm not working wasnt known here! After the jam I'll look if i can fix it, since updating isnt possible in the maintime.
What you mean with, ui is not uiing?
Thanks for the compliment on the innovative gameplay! I wished to have it larger, but during development my creativity blocked and I couldnt think if more meaningfull content to add. might revisit in the future!
Ahhh gotcha! Yeah UI could have been more refined and polished for sure.
My development time was.. challeging.
1st artist abondend the game after 2 days, new one started, then the artist had private life issues and fell out for 1,5 days etc etc...
This was my least smooth jam so far.
Next Jam I participate in I'll make sure the UI is more fleshed out, and to add a tutorial also.
Regarding creativity: usually I make a GDD and start making it, and usually something good comes out of it, this time I changed the entire gameplay loop after 3 days, didnt make a gdd and got stuck on the meaningfull additions :/
Will revisit the game in the future, since the response im getting about the concept/idea being good motivates me to see if i can make it a tiny bit better... at minimum ill repair the storm bug xD
