Amazing. The only one up to this 3d Sudoku that I can come up with is a pensive but killer ost. Insane potential.
Thanks for playing Hekuta!
Man I LOVED this game, it definitely had issues but the main concept and its implementation is literal peak!
I really wish there were more puzzles as it waas really fun to solve them!
The only thing I was confused about was what did u mean by raw materials, I just assumed that the dreamseed thingies were what you meant and it worked! (So i suppose it was them but it was a bit confusing)
So, for the visuals, Man I loved the dynamic and intuitive visuals this game had, the pop out when hovering, the animations. The overall artstyle was really cool! Tho Id def like to have a better background
The game itself was really really fun (IM NOT KIDDING HERE) I seriously LOVED the puzzle. I would add tho that the introduction with the main level was kinda hard as the player had to read and memorize alot. It would help to ahve each tile and subconscious be introduced to a bit slowly
Still, imo it wasnt THAT hard to grasp and quite intuitive!
I too experienced the black screen (which u addressed as a bug) quite frequently..
After winning, I was left to want more, which is definitely a good thing, I really hope you work on this more as this has real potential!
Also really liked the theme implementation! Alot of ppl seemd to ignore theme in its entirety so it was nice to see some actually good and creative interpretation!
The game could also use some SFX for stuff like hovering and clicking.
Also some music
Overall, an amazing idea with even more amazing implementation! The black screen bug being frequent did ruin a bit of fun but wasnt a big deal. More Music and Sfx will make this much better!
Also I noticed that the textures and text was a bit blurry. Idk what engine you used but I think the texture filtering for the sprites is set to "linear". If it is try to set it to "Nearest"/"Closest"/"Nearest neighbour" to see if it goes away.
Congrats on your first game jam!
You did an absolutely amazing job here, Id say this is a very very rare thing to have such a good game as your first!
I hope to see more of your work, Keep working hard :D
Ah really glad you enjoyed it mate, and this feedback is really helpful, gives me the drive to keep working on it!
I totally forgot to give any tutorial on the Raw Materials concept. The idea is every building you place is classed as one of three stages in the thought "production line"; Raw Materials, Refinery and Storage. Then the adjacency puzzles will get more complicated by using those as requirements. But then I didn't put any explanation besides the small icons in the tooltip window - definitely something for the next version.
Completely agree the actual first puzzle will need to be simpler and introduce each building one by one. That, some SFX, music, and background art are next on the cards (after fixing the damn inventory glitch).
On the blurriness, I noticed this as well, I made it in Gamemaker and just went in to check the settings; pixel interpolation was on so unchecking that helps there.
Again, thanks so much for taking the time to give feedback, going to try to turn this into something!
Pretty cool for a first game! The concept is neat, but (somewhat ironically) the issue for me was to get started, since it isn't intuitive how elements interact, it is hard to understand what's going on until you have read every description a couple times. I also had a black screen.
Thanks for trying it out and the feedback! I agree I think this kind of game needs a proper tutorial and a slower ramp up into the mechanics (different buildings one at a time etc.). The black screen is caused by the janky inventory system which I fudged in a few hours before the deadline, whoops
Neat! Could use some sound. Crashes if I remove tiles, sometimes.
Sweet cheers for checking it out! Thanks for the feedback
The inventory system is indeed bugged when you swap out tiles, need to sort that out. Some sfx and music is definitely next on the cards
cool idea! i could see there being some cool challenges here, kinda like is this seat taken but for making ideas
Nice thanks for checking it out! Yeah that's true, a similar adjacency puzzle mechanic
It looks quite promising however as soon as i completed the first plate, the screen turns black. Is this intended?
Hi Sasuchi, thanks for checking out my game! Yes unfortunately there's a bug with the inventory system that I've only spotted after uploading, which means the game will sometimes crash when certain tiles / buildings are placed or swapped. I'll need to fix that, but you should be able to complete the level with a few tries. Is that what you meant by the first plate?
