This is pretty good for a 2-day jam! I enjoyed the free aim for the weapons so I can move about and pelt some bombs towards enemies at the same time. The rover controls may need some more fine tuning and a sound system to have the BGM and SFX gentler on the ears. Overall well done!

Very well-crafted game, did almost every aspect in a great manner. The instant enemy spawn when the first time drill made me panic a little, maybe give some hints or sound effects to let the player prepare to defend.

A Bird GameI liked the UI! Very clean, and very nicely decorated opening scene! Was cool to spawn into a different world and fight the monsters - well done!

Less-Time-LessWow.. this is the cleanest game I have played so far. Amazing work, man. I am surprised how you were able to create this game in 48 hours.
I would really appreciate it if you could play and rate my game as well 🙏

The Last SecondThank you for playing and for the kind words! I did play and rate yours(itch io says that I voted 22 hours ago compared to the current moment) I was the one, who couldn't save everyone :) Btw, would you be so kind to tell me which enemy did you like better? I am collecting data for post jam improvements :P
Thank you for your feedback. And thank you for playing. But I have to credit all the UI to the Asset Store, specifically Shift - Complete Sci-Fi UI by Michsky. I have it since forever and I think it was perfect for this game. The background music is from opengameart.org. It was mostly plug and play. Currently I would turn the volume down, add some fade in and fade out, or actually change the music because it doesn't fit the pace of the rover. But... time limitations. What can one do :)
Good! A bit too loud. Enemies and overall vibes remind me of Ratchet and Clank :)
Could easily see it as a full mobile/web game.

UNI-VERSE: Journey Through The AgesThank you for playing and for the feedback. +1 for the laser beam team! Currently I am looking for a way to try windows based game, since i am stuck on MacOS for now. Trying to find a way to test and give feedback to all the games with solo windows builds. Yours included.
Edit: Solved it, install windows with bootcamp. I did rate yours :)
Really polished game, especially impressive given the short time frame. What I liked the most was how you integrated parts of the UI directly into the game world; a great use of Unity's new system.
Well done, and best of luck in the jam! ;)

Alumbra ProjectI like the Synty assets) You've made a great job. It's solid foundation to make interesting game.
Right now I missed the a global goal - there is no ending (or it seems that). So I don't know why I need to collect diamonds and upgrade the rover
Submitted
Plastic WorldThank you for playing! Yep currently I tried to explain the end goal in two ways.
1. The one is direct - kill the boss at the end of the level and return with diamonds - upgrade - try again, which is optional.
2. The second goal is set through narrative - when time doesn't exist anymore - human nature kicks in, we start to get greedy and want more and more. So greed moves humanity forward and to do that you need to collect diamonds. So just go and collect diamonds or just waste your endless time.
And for games that are completionists, I added an option to max out all upgrades.
Nice use of assets, I like the lowpoly style, rover needs more maneuverability and could use more varied music. Otherwise fun game.

Veil of RustThank you for playing! I will improve the rover movement after the jam. Right now it is a bit slow, since I wanted to add a rover speed upgrade in upgrades, but unfortunately didn't have time. You are right about the manoeuvrability, with a bit more mobility could go a long way. Music was actually last minute touch with a couple of sounds during the polish stage.
Thank you for the playing and the feedback. The Rover gets slower the more diamonds you collect. It was intentional to be a bit slow, so that you can upgrade speed but didn't have enough time to add the upgrade before the submission. I wasted some time trying to change the camera and on tutorial. Will add this upgrade after the jam. Thank you!
