Great game, but....
It could have been a bit longer. I beat it in about 40 minutes, and it wasn't hard for me. The game itself was good. It was different, because you had to worry about health, hunger, and energy all at once while trying to get resources and fighting aliens.
Catchy
Was not that hard, oviuslly the best atributes where speed and digging but surelly some people spend it all in gunsmith or dextrecity (this last one may be not really usefull) Maybe a more deep logistic could help to make it more triki. maybe the map, the scaner of mineral etc could be developed. 10 days look like short time when you are even availabe to bouild your own food.
Decent, needs a sequel
It'd be better if, like many have suggested, you tweaked, well... basically everything. The base, the aliens, the resources... they all need work. It's a good design, and has potential, but it's not quite 'finished', I'd say. Add more stuff, maybe put difficulty levels on (easy/medium/hard modes), rebalance the way resources are used and how hunger is done (it was more efficient to get a bunch of low-level pills to fill myself up instead of the actual food) and it'll be better.
Keep at it!
Balance is key...
you know this game is very fun, but end game stuff, is vastly broken in the the bugs favor. up until day 25 died, why? the suicide bugs. i can understand making a game hard, i'm all for hard, but when there is no possible way to keep going after a certain level why bother putting other levels in it? to prove i'm not bustin your balls for nothing. day 25 went like this(by the way i'm fully maxed out) i go and farm a bit, and start heading home at 5 cuz that when the bugs start up, at 10o'clock i jump out, its a bug storm, but its a 3 to 12 ratio, in suicide bugs that can totally out run you by the way. and the periodic armor increase for the bugs take about 2-3 rockets, but there 13 of them, plus they do 135-175 points per explosion and your max life being 740....so i die. i say hey why not i'll hide in the base maybe i can use it you buy some time, it has 4000 HP i jump out, cuz if your base dies, you die to only get side swiped by 6 explodie bugs to plop over yet again. at this point i thought lets just see how long it takes your base to die out right....it didn't last passed 15 secs, the rate at which the bugs spawn an kill themselves is about oh 1.5 seconds, because in the end its just explodie bugs, that throw themselves at you faster then the ugly drunk brides maids at weddings, over all this is a well built game, i like the farming aspect, which is pretty cool and original, graphics are decent to, the build up of defences is also good, though the plasma traps kinda back fire because it tends to kill the suicide bugs faster there for kill you faster. i can tell alot of hard wrok went into
this, why i gave it a 8, i get the feeling that i am comming off like a jerk, trying not to. its just something i am pointing out. i really look forward to the next installment.
great game
