My entry for LudumDare#31, I wish had more time.Please leave feedback.
How to play- right click to buy stuff from the shop left click to place the bought item
the blue capsules are houses that shoot boxes at the yellow circle when the time on the yellow circle reaches 0 it will collect the boxes some boxes are more valuable than others
your goal is to get 2000 dollars
Update 0.2- made player able to win made ui fit on screen
Bugs- (Web player) For Chrome users you might have to switch to another browser due to the unity web-player plugin issues you might have to go full screen to play explosions might not work
In order to play I had to go to the web version and right click to make it full screen. I wasn't exactly sure what I was supposed to do with the game. Also, when I right-clicked on the house in the box on the bottom, it would disappear.
Doesn't seem quite finished. I left clicked to build a bunch of spawning houses and collected $12,000 almost instantly. I feel like I'm missing something. I assume this is intended to be a cookie clicker/tycoon type game.
Hi there. Not rated yet. On Chrome/W8.1 game started once. I clicked Explanations button, that was displayed. Back button didn't then work. I reloaded page and Unity runtime reported an error.
Explosions didn't work unfortunately, but I just kept building houses and won eventually. Despite the extreme simplicity it's still surprisingly engaging.
For a simple game, the instructions seemed to be a bit unclear. I went full-screen as others had suggested and then went to the instructions scene before player. Then the back button did not work and I could not get to the game. Pressed escape to get out of full screen mode and then the back button did work. Played the game back in full screen mode again. The explosions did not seem to be working. Nice effort. It has real potential to be an interesting game, but needs more polishing.
I finally managed to get it to work. Fullscreen in firefox. The controls are left to buy and right to place (opposite of what is written). Explosives don't seem to do anything, so stick to surrounding the yellow with houses.
Instead of making this a christmas box game, I think it would have been a fantastic curling game. It would have been better received that way since the mechanics (speed, weight, collisions) are almost a perfect match for the sport.
I like the idea, and I see how this is supposed to work, but it just doesn't. I can make the spawning houses (using an interface that is the opposite of what the instructions say, with a hud that clashes with the playing field because it's sitting right in the middle of fullscreen mode, the only mode where right-clicks work), and I can make money, but it's pretty much luck-based. No matter what I tried, I could not make the explosions work. I'd like to see a post-compo update of this so people can see what you were really going for here.
