Marvin's Day Job: Mineral Deependence by Devez

[raw]

Hello!

This is our first ludum dare as a team, wanted to try making a game in 3D and well... it mostly works! Wish Monday didn't cut through our dev time but we pushed through it :slight_smile:. Wish you all good luck and see you next time!

Fun game! the controls are funky but I found it enjoyable trying to get the hang of them! I also love the graphics - the spaceship is super cute. Great job :D

Cool idea, not enough movement for the background and a little more dynamics. Overall not bad)

Great intro, comrade. Newton's second law also felt good. It would be nice if A player had kind of mineral locator (probably as an upgrade)

Nice game!
I had some issues though:
The text is not very readable. Numbers too - 1 and 7 look almost the same
One of the green arrows was hidden behind hp bar, so I didn't see it at first. Another green arrow became so big it covered entire screen :D

Intergalactic capitalism! Nice game :)
At first I couldn't see the green arrow (hidden behind the hud), and sometimes the arrows became giant.

I like the aesthetics of the game!

Pretty cool game. I do think the arrows could use some improvement. They sometimes hide behind the hud, or they get really gigantic :D

Thanks everyone for the kind words! It's true there were some bugs we didn't have time to address, but glad you liked it!

Looks like we had very similar ideas.
The black hole surprised me a little :D

interesting idea. movement could use a little tweaking, felt pretty slow/non-responsive. overall nice implementation though!

Nice graphics, it's a basic concept but it works well, the movement is a litle bit slow, especially on the turns, but great work !

Not a bad game, I would like less smooth movements))
The menu opens only when you die (
