I really enjoyed this game!

Developer

Glad you liked it and thanks for playing!

I really liked this game! I really enjoyed the wordle type puzzle to try and find earth again. All the visuals are really well done and nicely put together, the whole game has a very polished feel to it. And this game's concept reminds me alot of my own submission.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and glad you liked it! Agreed on us having a similar thought on the theme, great minds think alike!

Submitted

The concept is great and gives me some Sliders vibes.
A roguelite progression system could make it even deeper and more replayable.
It’s already a very enjoyable and polished experience, especially for a solo project. Good job ! 💚
I’d love to hear your thoughts on our game as well if you get the chance.

Thanks for playing!!

Actually, FX do make the game! (I kept playing just so I could do the time warp again...) - Very cool, fun gameloop, and plenty of strange lands for a week's worth of work!

Developer

Thanks so much and glad you liked the effects!

Submitted

Damn. The game is super simple but it's super fledged out. Very nice menu! That's the best part of it all lol, the wormhole menu. Good stuff!

Developer

Thanks so much and thank you for playing!

Submitted

Short and sweet! The triangulation puzzle was a clever way to space out the gameplay sections and make them feel like they contributed toward a larger goal. My main critique is with the gameplay sections themselves. They were a bit too simple for my tastes. Still, for a week-long game jam this is great!

Developer

Thanks so much! A common issue I find with survivors games is how repetitive they can be, so wanted it to be a mix of survivor like gameplay and some other style puzzle. Agree that the planets were a more simple than I had wanted, as I had ambitions for more dynamic planets but as is the case in many jam games, had to cut scope for time.

Submitted

WOW! Super cool visuals, had me wowing every time I loaded into the menu and the pip screen. The ability to put this all together into something so cohesive and evocative is no small feat! Loved the idea as well, it fits very well into the theme and reminds me of wordle a bit haha.

If there's one thing I personally would like to see, it'd be a bit more variety/urgency/difficulty in the combat, but it's also understandable if the focus of the game isn't the combat. Amazing job, thank you for making it!

Developer

I hear you about the combat. I had lots of plans for other worlds like underwater where you had to go between bubbles and a world with gravity wells you had to struggle against, all to add more variety to the combat, but it was a classic game jam case of having to cut scope to get things done. Glad you liked it so much!

Submitted

Very cool concept and well executed! It was fun to play and figure out how to win. Great job!

Developer

Thanks so much and glad you liked it!

Submitted

Really enjoyed that. Having the gun auto-fire is a nice touch, I'm going to be spamming the shoot button constantly anyway so why not do it for me. The VFX of going into the worm hole each time looked really good. No option to exit the game though on the front screen, have to ctrl+alt+del to exit.

Developer

Glad to hear you enjoyed it and liked the worm hole VFX! Sorry about no exit option, definitely a lesson for next time to prioritize those things earlier in the process.

Submitted

Congratulations on your game. It's very good, fluid, beautiful, and enjoyable to play. You could spend hours playing it. Good job.

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!

Submitted

Great gameplay and fantastic production value. The music and art style are perfectly synced with the game's design. It’s a very polished and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Developer

Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

probably one of the best 3d games i've seen in this jam! the combination of the two different types of games really worked well! keep it up!

Developer

Glad you liked it so much, thanks for playing!

Submitted

Very cool! Not sure if it was intended, but I really appreciate that the shooting of the gun syncs up with the music <3

Developer

lol, unfortunately it wasn't intended, but I'm happy you enjoyed it all the same. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Dude, the game is awesome! Really the intro looked like it was from AAA game. Great effects, I still can't figure it out how have you did them in unity :D I also like the no-UI style, where you can really focus on the game, instead of stats! Highly recomended!

Submitted
