Seems like my minions didn't feel like working at all ! Joke apart, the theme deeper & deeper is respected.
Good job!
I saw your note about the minion's "generation property". It's not clear exactly what that number means.
Interesting idea with graphics that are nice on their own way (not an euphemism!).
Random comments:
* I didn't understand how the "generation" affects the minions.
* Controls felt strange sometimes. I couldn't pinpoint exactly why, but felt as if sometimes I would click on a minion and it would not be selected. (And I would not notice that, because the marker that identifies the selected one is not much flashy.)
* I reached the end, yay!
+приятная графика и звуки
+юмор как в концепции, так и в именах юнитов
-применение темы не заметно
-стоило разбить на несколько уровней - поначалу сложно сразу все понять
-механику клонирования стоит сделать попонятнее
- Тему хотелось через обыгрывание погружение в глубокий космос, чем глубже тем все больше проблема с ресурсами.
- И да, в планах было сделать разбивку на уровни. Перемещение от системы к системе в поисках подходящего мира.
- В механике клонирования много факторов, которые не видны вообще никак в игре. Что клон хуже оригинала, и если клонировать клонов - то может вообще получится очень испорченный экземпляр)))
Много на что времени не хватило))
