Alien Annihilation

I was a little confused by the instructions, I think a tutorial on the main objective of objectives game page would help.

And I don't know why, the text in the top left corner appears cut off for me, and even in windowed mode it hasn't changed.

I think by fixing these bugs people can better evaluate your game.

Congratulations!

Good job going through this hard and short jam, thank you for the submission!

Hi! Sadly, I wasn't able to play the game. It threw this error:

"Unable to parse Build/Alien Annihilation web.framework.js.br! This can happen if build compression was enabled but web server hosting the content was misconfigured to not serve the file with HTTP Response Header "Content-Encoding: br" present. Check browser Console and Devtools Network tab to debug.
"

oops I forgot to the disable that error

I too am getting the error on Itch.Io, but my game had the same issue and I fixed it today by going into the unity build settings, and changing the compression mode to GZIP. Then just re-upload to Itch!

@darkboulevard Fixed it

Yeah fixed it @michaell

Worked for me, I got all the metal and build an antenna but not sure what I should have been doing next?

That sliding walking animation has some old-school vibe, I like it! :)

hilarious walk animation :D why do we spend so much time on 6-8 walking cycles frames.. this is all we need :D

But like the other comments I don't know what to do after I built the antenna.

Yeah I don't know what happened in unity all the items for the objectives appeared but when I built the game it all vanished.

I couldn't quite figure out what to do except for gather metal :thinking: maybe a little more guidance for the players would help :smile:

Congrats on the entry :thumbsup_tone1:

So the walk animation sometimes continue when I'm standing still. And I have no idea what was happening for the entirety of the game. Like, I was just going from left to right and right to left over and over, it was empty and the objectives were just completing themselves.

Cool entry! as many mentioned before me it would be nice to have some more clear guidance on what to do. Overall a nice style and good work!

Cool ideas and nice storytelling :D
I understand that you had to cut a lot of content, which would make up for the rather simple (yet charming!) visuals.

@darkboulevard @michaell @marc-grabow @smiley @purpledartfrog @bottled-up-dark-peace @mantsje @trexxak Fixed the bug where the objectives don't show.

The walk cycle is hillarious.
Good work!

Did the game work all right with all objectives available @okamit

@meritcoding Yes it worked! You need to play in fullscreen though, as the UI is cut out otherwise

I built the antenna and then somehow got the next objective to load, but I couldn't do anything else. Pressing E to interact doesn't seem to work. Whenever I finished an objective I would just run around the board spamming E and then it would randomly transition but I can't tell if it was because I pressed E or because a timer expired.

You definitely need to figure out the technical issues because the game is pretty unplayable in its current state. I will say that I like the walking animation of the main character. Its pretty funny and very elegant (meaning simple)

Well, you've definitely got an idea going here. You're off to a good start. If you could flesh out the objectives and the bugs, you might have something that could be great. In its current state though, it's not really enough to be considered much of a game. That being said, if you keep at it, eventually you will have something great! Like people have said, the walk cycle is pretty funny, and if you lean into that humorous side, you could get some pretty good ratings.

The idea of the game is really great but i don't understand why after building antena i don't have objectives. Anyway the game looks very cool and i like walking animation.

Again built the antenna after collection the metal and nothing happened - I like the transition between front facing and the walking animation. Good effort keep it up!

I feel the interaction doesn't quite work. I tried to buy a cow farm but it didn't appear to do anything.
The game could give proper feedback on what's going on. A lot of the time I was unsure if the game was done or something was happening. Depending what you aimed for, I suppose some filling bar or even text would help the player to know what's going on. And sounds! Sound effects are very effective feedback to player as well, even with low effort.

I liked the turning left animation, wish that applied to both sides.

Well done!

@skleembof I think that was a coincidence I was going to add a clock but I couldn't as I had no time

@coderaurus Did you collect the coins.

@meritcoding No, I don't think I saw any coins
