Dropzone Mars

Amazing graphics, very responsive controls and a bit of nostalgia, great idea and great game, well done!

I love the concept, I love the graphics, the gameplay is good, really perfect !

Love the style, the graphics are amazing! Reminds me of Jamestown, one of my favorites :) Great choices on the audio and music, it fits in really well with the theme and ambiance. Gameplay was pretty straightforward, I liked that the bombing did damage but also took you away from things and only went in a straight line, made it more challenging.

It took me a second to figure out that the radar didn't update until you were in range - I lost some cities down south while camping one of the enemy spawn points! Overall, love it :smile:

Cool entry proposing an interesting mix of 2 genres I like :thumbsup:
Game mechanics are solid, especially enjoy the bomb dropping effect :boom: Good intregration with music and sounds giving a pleasant ambiance.

Great job, congratz :rocket:

pros:

* sweet graphics x2
* sweet music (!!!)
* responsive gameplay

cons:

* what am I doing
* what should I be doing
* ooohh okay I get it
* wait is this even helping
* well now I'm dead

Took me a sec to understand what was going on. The people colonies kinda look like they would be slime colonies so I was trying to kill them for a bit. Bombing didn't really seem to have much of an effect because then you would drift way away from the action.

But goddamn those graphics blew me away. The explosion effects were especially pleasing. Very polished feel. It brought me back to the SNES era, so you get bonus points for that, good job.

Neat game, retro vibes :D

This game is REALLY good! Graphics are very solid, music is terrific and mechanics is really well though out. It's really challenging and a pleasure to play. Level of polish is also phenomenal for 3 days.
Although I had some troubles defending because whenever I did my ult there was instantly a couple of monsters at one of the bases, probably they spawn offscreen for the player instead of spawning at some distance from settlements, which was a bit confusing.
Anyway, this is definetly one of the best games I played so far. Gonna wait for next LD to check you what you guys come up with :)

Really enjoyed this. Frantic action with that gorgeous EGA palette. It feels like it has more in common with a tower defence than city builder, but either way it's a great little game that I'll be coming back to. Great work!

Really nice graphics and pretty fun gameplay! Enjoyed playing it, only one small thing felt a little bit weird - the camera movement when you turn, maybe you can smooth it a little bit. Great work overall!

This game was super fun, had an absolute blast playing! Took me off guard seeing the red guy appear after an orange one ate my base :). Bombing run was a neat feature, only wish here was that I could control a little more things! Great game

A little hard to understand what was going on at first but amazing graphics!

I enjoy the design and the music. Maybe with some other weapons it would be better

Thanks for all the feedback so far everyone, I think I agree with everything that's been posted, so when I get the chance I'd like to go back and improve the game. Thanks again!

Great art and music (sensing some 2001 space odyssey vibes in there). Ramping it up with some upgrades and more control over the city building might make it more interesting for longer play times.

Congratulations with a polished product.
Although is is pretty much simple in the idea, the game looks to be complete. Additional "thank you" for webGL build.

A few words on game mechanics:
It would be nice to have a control over the place of where the colonization unit is dropped off. As of now the dropping happens by itself an very often right to the spawn location resulting in quick units death.

Anyway, you have my respect for being solo and for great pixel art.

nice mix of genres, good graphic. Nice, thanks!

Woaw, this game is OUTSTANDING! I was a bit confused at first, but then I understood how to play, and I had fun for about 20 minutes (reached level 5, and level 4 was very difficult as I had only one remaining outpost to build the whole city!).

This is a really polished and entertaining arcade game, and the city building elements blends quite well with the shooter. The art and music are beautiful too, resulting in the most fun / best gameplay game I've played so far! Congrats!

Great music and atmosphere in this game! I was a bit confused as to the objective and took me a few plays to figure everything out. This game could benefit from a brief tutorial. Great game overall!

Great concept, already very fun to play, and challenging! A lot of potential, for example with upgrades to balance between ship & buildings, other buildings like defense... GG!

interesting idea, but it feels like I don't really have an impact on what is happening because I can just move and not shoot or place the buildings by myself
