Slay cubes that want to invade your personal space by harnessing the power of the sun with a crystal ball. I can't tell you what is at the end of the level or why the cubes are loaded with blood.
Game mode: Time attack.
Unconventional weapon: Crystal ball magnifying lens + the sun Objects obscure the sun from the magnifying lens AI follows to last seen position and you can hide from it. Heat up an unruly cube with the sun to vaporize it. Cubes cool down if given the chance, so keep them hot. The night cycle has no adequate lighting to keep your weapon functional.
Controls ------------- WASD, mouse R to restart the level
Postmortem: As much as I want to put in: sounds, vaporization and spawn particle effects, burn marks, a fleshed out level, high score, menus and textures etc, I simply ran out of time! I had a blast and can only get better since this is my first non-piddly use of UE4, not to mention my first LD and first game ever. I highly recommend UE4. Love!
10/10 for creativity with the theme. The game play is challenging but fun. I love the lens flares when you are attacking. I kept getting stuck in the darkness though and I don't know where to go from there since you can only attack enemies from one direction. Maybe if the sun moved? Also some sound would be good. Otherwise, awesome entry!
I like the way it looks, and I like the concept, and I like the way it feels. I don't like how slowly you fry enemies, how fast the enemies move, or how fast the sun moves. The gameplay ends up feeling pretty samey because of those.
Intersting! But there wasn't much to it. Avoiding the enemies was pretty easy and then it just randomly becomes dark (night?). The light mechanic was super unique but it didn't feel any different than just shooting a laser at a single spot. I would definitely like to see more though!
It's a pretty difficult game, but enjoyable. I like that you made the sun rotate around to keep things interesting. You put some nice effects in there too.
AMAZING, really interesting, and beautiful. Great choice with unreal engine! If I could look up and down, at least a little, it would greatly improve it in my opinion.
So incredibly beautiful. Textures would only detract from gameplay. Sounds are needed. The concept is amazing, and I would love to see more! Awesome job!
