Looks and feels fantastic. The atmosphere and shaders are just beautiful and the game feels very responsive. Only thing I wish was some sort of navigation as I got lost frequently and just running around at a medium pace with your environment being pretty much the same throughout wasn't great. Regardless, phenomenal entry. Great job

Nice work!

The environment is top notch, the low poly liminal feeling is excellent, reminds me of certain old-timey games. I like the concept over all, and how there's a built in timer with the excavation. The hud is really cool looking, and the music is great, especially when it ramps up during the fighting. Great game! One question though... Were the enemies throwing watermelons at me? Lol

I really like the post processing shader, it's a nice effect. And the music was great. I'm a sucker for sparse environments so the low poly rocks scapes worked well for me too.

I really love the art style and audio in this game! The CRT shader goes a long way, and the soundtrack is great. As for gameplay, it’s a pretty solid mech shooter, only thing that stood out heavily was that the left cannon seemed to not aim quite where I wanted it to, and more off to the right side of the crosshair. All of the weapons having a cooldown also felt a little awkward at times, and the orbital strike was a bit inconsistent and would sometimes spawn way closer than I was pointing and kill me. I also wish there was a way to enter fullscreen after the game started, but maybe I was missing something.

It’s already really fun, but with a little more polish and some fleshed out environments/objectives, this would absolutely be one of my favorites!

Good game! It looks weird but funny when you jump off the spaceship and it goes up really fast. The left cannon looks a bit misaligned, and the color of the mineral crystal is hard to see in dark places.

Cool music

Really interesting game! I loved the graphic style of an old TV graphics, with low polys, kinda similar to how Lethal Company is, you pulled it off really well. The music and sound effects are also very fitting.

I finished the first (and seems like only) level a few times, with the first being just normal gameplay, then I tried to break the game. I’ll mainly be leaving details on the bugs and exploits I found, as well as some things that could be worked on. Do let me know if you want more!

Settings/pre-gameplay

The textures of the game seem a little wonky, when I move my player while eyeing one of the rocks beside me, it seems as though the texture is moving. I’m not sure if this was intended. The ground, especially at the spawn is also pretty eye-hurting to look at if you focus on it while moving.

There should be some settings for things such as Mouse Sensitivity, Brightness and FOV, as these usually are the main things that contribute to motion sickness in 3D games. I know this can’t really be done due to Web Browser currently, but the “Esc” key in the game should open up the settings menu.

Game mechanics/balancing

For starters, currently there doesn’t seem to be a point to getting Vivula, as there isn’t a way to spend it, but I feel you might be adding it as some sort of upgrade/requirement soon.

The dash is on too low a cooldown, while the guns take too long for the heat to dissipate. Currently I find myself spamming dash throughout the entire game, as it refreshes so fast that it doesn’t even matter. The guns take a long time to refresh when it is overheated, but this forces the player to use the Missiles and Orbital Strike, which might be a good thing. If the game difficulty is supposed to be hard, the guns are actually quite balanced around this, but the dash makes it too easy.

It doesn’t seem like you have to defend the mining extractor currently, so in subsequent runs, I simply placed it down and started it, before running all the way to afk at the shuttle area for it to be done. The enemies don’t seem to be able to pathfind to the player that way, so although I did hear battle music and 20+ enemies detected, I wasn’t in any danger at all.

There is a rock/arch close to the shuttle area that you can go up (I dashed up it, not sure if it’s possible without dashing), where you can kind of safespot against most enemies while waiting for the shuttle. There are times where the ranged enemies can shoot at you, or even climb up the same slope, but the melee enemies are basically all stuck.

It is easily possible to excavate and extract in the shuttle without killing a single enemy or taking any damage (mainly because of the dash)

Bugs

When you dash before the the shuttle lands, you can kind of glitch through the walls to instantly drop to the ground. Similarly, when you dash after the shuttle leaves the map, you can drop down onto enemies before it throws you into a loading screen. I have not tested if you can die if the enemies hit you right before you enter the loading screen.

When climbing onto the safe spot I mentioned, you can technically dash more into a taller rock at the top of it, causing you to enter the wall and momentarily drop onto enemies stuck below before getting teleported back up. Could be some sort of visual glitch but I ended up not going too far up to hug the wall.

Some suggestions

Indicators might be something nice to add, for things such as where the enemies are spawning, where the extract position is after the mining is done, the range of the orbital strike are some examples.

Homing missiles, or a small explosion when the missiles land. Currently the missiles feel more like a burst of the base armament, and it doesn’t seem like they actually explode unless I missed it.

Adding HP to the exacavator, so the player has a reason to stay and protect it instead of just running and waiting at the extraction point for it to be done.

A very well made game so far! I can see that a lot of effort was put in to convey the atmosphere and art, and it just needs more content and polishing to be better!

Looks awesome, gives me some Lethal Company vibes in the best way. Kind of eerie and gritty, I like the sound design, and the visuals are beautifully stylised. I think it's a bit dark at times, making it hard to see, but that's an easy thing to fix.

The gameplay is cool, quite difficult to get used to at first, but I got the hang of it as I carried on playing. I would maybe like to be put into the action a little faster, but that’s more of a comment on game jam game pacing.

All around, great work!

Art style is cool, but the screen effect made it hard to see. Maybe up the gamma? I didn't know what to do in the beginning until I found the button, and then I felt like a walking weapon for sure, but I'm weak to watermelons lol. I died during the mining process and was feeling a bit motion sick so I couldn't continue. It was fun though.

I love the style of this game! The music is very eerie and having the shoot on the L/R mouse buttons felt very refreshing :) For me no enemies spawned and I couldn't seem to find the node I was just in the how to play area the whole time and nothing happened, I'm not sure if I did something wrong but I searched the whole area, I tried interacting with the how to play menu but nothing happened, maybe its my browser I was using Opera :) Anyway I can tell from the bit I did play that it was going to be good :) Great job 

This feels very nostalic, even though I have never played it before. Great work!

Cool game , getting lots of starcraft vibes from it , but i guess thats similar to hell divers, the atmosphere and mech controls feel great , enemies spawned on me and killed me a couple of times perhaps some animations to show they are spawning, but I had similar thing in my game so I guess we probably should both fix that :D

I love the art direction of the game. The sounds and art give such a nice retro vibe, and the PS1 stylize vertex snapping was just a cherry on top! The feeling of being the badass mech was also great. 

The only problem I have is how easy it was to "cheese" the game. Without the reason to protect the mine I could just deploy the excavator, run away and wait. Same with the extraction from the planet. Maybe adding a health bar to the excavator so player needs to protect it would be a good idea? Also to make player not just run away and hide, changin the spawn points of enemies to be generated around the player?

But without using those "cheese" strategies the game was very enjoyable. Guns go pow pow. orgital strike goes boom, giant drill on melee is a giant drill 

The retro 3d graphics on this game really work. It looks so cool. My only recommendation is some type of radar to help find the mining point quicker.

This game is really good. The controls are responsive and feels nice. Having multiple weapons is good, but I only find a few of them useful.

I think if there are a little more effects and user feedbacks would make the game feels complete.

Really enjoyed this one. The vibe is just spot on. Little details like the leaning in the L/R movement help you feel the weight of the mech while a variety of tools/weapons give variety to the combat.

The models, textures, soundtrack, and sound effects create such a nostalgic feel. Love it!

This was such a slick game, I loved it!

The guns looked weighty and I enjoyed how slightly muffled the gunfire was, felt at home with the chunky graphics. The aesthetic in general was spot on, felt super immersive instantly, and really supported the gameplay. Music was nice and retro, some good bleeps and bloops in there (can you tell I'm not the sound guy on my team..?). The UI is so simple and clean but communicates all the information the player needs and supports the vibe, talk about effective design!

The melee attack was my favourite animation, that funny lil' drill felt so personal to deploy.

Minor skill issue on my part, same as some other comments, I also just wandered around the Hab at first after getting up close to the tutorial section (for no reason, really, it was perfectly visible from the start point), and then not noticing the deploy button when looking back. Oops.

Totally see the influences shining through, not played AC/CH so for me I was really getting Helldivers x Deep Rock Galactic. Great sources of inspiration!

Launched my orbital strike into the last wave of enemies before hopping on the ship and not disappointed. The particle effects all round were ace, too.

Literally my only thought of constructive feedback is that I felt the camera was slightly low to the ground, but that may just be personal preference.

Superb game, well done to everyone on the team!

The gameplay is intense, and the music and sfx fits perfectly. Especially the alarm that goes off when you begin evacuation. For using 3D in Godot, this is seriously impressive! Even more so that it was all done solo and submitted early. Great job!

Cute zerglings and hydralisks :D

It took me a while to get what I was supposed to do, but it was fun when I figured! I still didn't quite get the difference in weapons, and having some more feedback from the game would be cool. But it was either way!

And great aesthetics overall!
