Cool game! I finished with 1:05 left. Not really sure why the buildings made the trucks move the way they did, but I kept getting points so it worked for me lol. Nice job!
Thanks for playing! Our navigation system is a bit quirky, we wanted to make something a bit more nuanced but with the time available we chose to do the easiest thing. Buildings might block a node in the map when placed and when trucks collide with their aoe, they have to select a new node in the map with some rule, this also comes with some quirks, sometimes trucks do some kind of back and forth loop which wasn't intended but it's fun I think!
I didn’t quite get it but I like the concept, and it really matches the theme. Good job!
Thanks so much! It's understandable, legibility is one of the things we should improve if we decide to improve this one. I'm glad you liked it nonetheless.
Cool game! I love the vibes and the look of it, especially the planet and the background. Placing the towers also feels really good. It was definitely pretty hard though, but I might just be dumb lol
Thanks so much! Tbh we had issues tweaking the navigation system. There's a couple of loopholes for easy wins, but without them the difficulty is not trivial.
It looks good and plays well, but maybe I'm a little stupid for this game. It was too difficult for me to keep track of several cars going in different directions, and I also had to somehow make them cycle around the sphere.
I think it's a good game, just a little bit not for me, good luck on the jam!
Thanks! Yeah, it's also kinda too hard for me (the artist of the game hasha)
Like others I would have liked to have seen more "early game" before the real game begins!
Thanks for playing! Hopefully we'll revisit this one and introduce a more gradual gameplay.
Nice Theme interpretation love it!
Thank you!
Maybe you could check out my Game too!
Very cool take on the theme. The way everything worked around the sphere was really cool, too. I'm impressed by how you made the visuals work considering what's how much is happening. Nice job!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's a relief to read that, we still think some elements could be visually smoother, but as much as we wanted, we couldn't loop irl haha
Love the visuals and the satisfying loops and lines of the trucks :D
Thanks so much, the trails really make it looks better. I'll have to thank the rest of the team for that one.
This is probably my best-rated game so far! It looks good, it sounds good (that *broop* sound when you complete a loop, niiice), and the gameplay is a lot of fun! If I had to give feedback for an eventual sequel / full-release, I would say 1) being able to pause the trucks while placing buildings & thinking would be super nice and 2) I'd recommend a monospace font for the HUD or making the HUD larger, so that it doesn't resize whenever the points count up (but that's honestly a nitpick and did not detract from the overall feel of the game at all). Great job!
Thanks so much your review!! I think the monospace font would be fitting for sure, and if we get back to it, we'll see how the game feels if we introduce a pause when placing buildings, it's really worth considering!
clean simple visuals, but super vibrant colors! Starting with 1000$ made it easy to progress, maybe starting low for people to grasp the idea of how to make money could make it a little more challenging!
Thanks for playing our game! And yeah, you're right, we didn't have time to finetune as much as we wanted, so we ended being generous with the money and number of trucks. But if we decide to keep working on this, that's one of the point we wanted to address, thanks for your feedback, even if we noticed, it encourages us to be really deliberate with this matter.
Very creative idea. The core of directing trucks around the planet was really good concept. Just was overwhelmed by all of the colors and tiny trucks driving around. Also felt that towers should have been more costly so that placing them would be more intentional. The camera control was very good for a planetoid along with the background. Congrats on submitting!
Ty so much for your feedback! You're right, we have noticed a lot of areas of improvement , the progress and scaling of a game, the behavior system and so on. Unfortunately we couldn't start iterating earlier, and we decided to give abundant resources to play around. Personally, I'm pretty sure that if we decide to keep working on this one and reach the design we envisioned, It'll be more engaging and deliberate.
I liked the game, cool take on the "forming a loop" concept. I felt a little bit overwhelmed by all the trucks. Would have loved to start slow with just one truck and then increasing the amount as the game went on.
Thank u! Yeah, we think the amount of trucks gives the game a good gameplay, but starting with fewer could've been a good tutorial to grasp the main mechanics
The minimalist visuals give it a clean vibe, though
Thanks, we precisely aimed for that!
super unique concept and really good implementation of this jam’s theme!
Thanks a lot, we appreciate the compliment!!
The concept is interesting and it is quickly understood how it works.
Thanks!!
Really loved the menu theme. Very unique and interesting interpretation of the jam theme. Great work!
Thanks a lot!! I'm glad you enjoyed it
Amazing game, very polished and looks gorgeous! Great job and amazing work!
Thanks so much!! I'm glad you liked it.
Great mechanics with great visuals i enjoyed the every second of playing it. And i think i found a kind of bug where you put a bunch of attracting buildings close to each other make trucks stuck
Thanks! Yeah, the polishing was not our strongest with this one, so shouldn't be specially hard to find some bugs
Unique concept, very cool 3D simulation type game! Would be interested to see what some examples of optimal play would be here.
Thanks a lot! We had to leave some ideas outside the game because they'd need a significant chunk of time to be functional but they would allow the game to have more defined strategies and fun ways to interact with the system, we're tempted to work on them.
From what I've been told, speed is meta in the current build lol
Great concept and a great use of the theme!
the fact that sometimes trucs just for forward and bak is kinda weird sometimes but overall great job
Congrats on your submission!
Thanks! Yes, we were aware of the navigation system needing more polish, with this time constraint it was difficult to implement a good solution for that, still I'm quite proud of what's been achieved by the team and we might improve this one later.
you're proud and you should honestly lol
