A functional multiplayer in such a short time, with lobbying, is also impressive.
Great job!
When I start the game I have those two errors, I never see that with a Unreal Engine game :
This game seems really cool, but I can not not mention how bad it runs. I think I can run risk of rain 2 with more Fps than this, but let's set it aside. The graphics sure are amazing, and the music, although repetative, fits with the vibe you guys went with. But: The enemies spawn very quickly, and the objective is very unclear.
The pause menu does not work, and there's no tutorial, or I overlooked something. Overall a bit over-the top great graphics, but lacking in gameplay
Thank you for all your feedback.
When you are in the lobby. Be sure to click the Frost Wing ship. As the packaged version automatically has the wrong ship selected :).
We will definitely be adding more images and description to the pages!
I really needed some sleep, but the plan for tomorrow is an optimization pass - removing anything we can, as well as optimizing the art. 72 hours just wasn’t enough to squeeze in optimization 😅
But I feel like it lands right either way!
it's a bit of a shame that the following ships cost 2000 and 3000 gold, which I find a bit expensive.
Thanks for your game, it is so polished and well made.
This is a solid start to something pretty cool.
We’ve been continuing to iterate and balance, we discovered the pause menu issue about 15 minutes after last submissions were due so there wasn’t much we could do.
We plan to release version 1.0 after the ranking is concluded, using all of the feedback received here!
Thank you so much for checking it out! ❤️
We’ve fixed all the bugs mentioned above and as soon as rankings are complete we’ll upload the newest build 😀
Actually, I’m not even sure that’s a requirement - maybe we can upload it as a “post-jam” update that isn’t ranked?
