I love how most of my finished games are jam games and are games that have no end technically.

Thank you Ry9!

The hardest part was the fire effects on the space ship when it falls, because uses some trigonometry! :grimacing:

This game is so good Deadly_Smile, even though I have a dislike for clicker games.

Most clicker games are boring since you just keep your mouse still and soullessly spam the left click but I made this to be different from clicker games, this time there’s a lot more action and lot less ā€œget currency from clicking and buy in-game auto clickers and farm clicksā€ kind of game. I really liked the concept of clicker games but I hate what they are as of right now, but I also like survival games so I just combined the two and made this. I really like how it is right now.

These are my reviews! @Good_Games will be revealing the total scores and the winner later :slight_smile:

Summary

Galaxy battles:

Art: The art works. Nothing much can be said. The animation is pretty choppy and everything is very basic. Could use a lot more juice 5/10

Playability: Pretty much a GALACDRIVE bootleg with no fun elements. You just fly at a crawl infinitely while dodging equally slow asteroids. 2/10

Audio: N/A

Controls: Slow and extremely simple. Description says you can use WASD but you can only use A and D? 3/10

Overall: 3.3/10.

Final notes:
Definitely needs a lot more gameplay variety and juice. Overall felt a bit slow and boring.


Josh’s Space Junk Mission:

Art: The animations were super fun! I loved the little launch cutscene, more games should be doing this! There should be a proper sprite for the player, instead of just using the default sprite. The actual rocket animations could be done a bit better. Menus were laid out well but could have better art. 6/10

Playability: The gameplay is alright. Just a endless collecting game, but there’s not really any obstacles or objectives to make the game enjoyable. There’s also no timer for when the game will end? 5/10

Audio: N/A

Controls: The controls worked, but the rocket felt extremely drifty. Needs some adjustment so it feels like the player actually has control over their spacecraft. 4/10

Overall: 6/10

Final notes:
The cutscenes in this game made it really memorable to me! The gameplay was just very lacking compared to the overall charm.


Cosmic Stranded:

ART: Definitely done with a set vision in mind. Very cohesive and gets the job done. 8/10

Playability: You click planets indefinitely. The gameplay could definitely use a lot more to spice it up, such as events or a difficulty curve. 4/10

Audio: Again, it gets the job done. Very solid all around. The music selection was REALLY good in my opinion. 7/10

Controls: Clicking. Compatible with mobile as well, that’s an extra point in my book. 7/10

Overall: 6.5/10.

Final notes:
This game was extremely well put-together except for gameplay. It felt extremely tedious and boring after just about 5 days. There’s almost never any asteroids, which makes it very easy not to die (which shouldn’t really be the case if you’re stranded in space). I suggest adding events, like a meteor shower, or losing food, that would make the game harder and more fun to play.


Space Survivors:

ART: Extremely incohesive. Stolen art (Not credited). Background doesn’t repeat seamlessly, and there’s… an Adobe stock watermark?? Animations (where they were) were clunky. 3/10

Playability: Just find some randomized rocks, click on them, then return back to the ship. There’s no indicator to where your ship is, so it’s easy to get lost in the large map. Also, oxygen doesn’t seem to deplete, and white crystals don’t have a use for anything? Gameplay was very confusing. 4/10

Audio: No audio. 2/10

Controls: Very slow player, just basic top-down movement and clicking. The ship when you’re in the transistion level is HORRENDOUSLY slow. 5/10

Overall: 3.5/10.

Final notes:
Generally felt extremely confusing and clunky, and the product didn’t come together well. More work needs to be done.

Due to some people not wanting their fingers to hurt anymore, Cosmic Stranded got an update for PC users! Now whatever your mouse is hovering, clicking the spacebar will now count a left click!
