Please leave feedback in the comments section below!! I want to know what you think of my game. Why is this only a 3.5 star game? I want it to be 5 stars, and for that I need your feedback.

For those if you that have completed the entire quest, I'd like to hear your thoughts!

This entire game, ie concept, graphics, music, gameplay etc. was made entirely by one person...me!!

Well this was an interesting game here some fun visuals and even fancy effects here, Would love even more boss's on this one the game is fun and love all the medals on this one makes for a fun game here, But anyways I had some fun with this game

~X~

The Legend of Zelda meets Minecraft.

Liked the game but didn't get past the "watch this" icon in the base....I'm stuck in an ad and i cant get out of it.

I great way to spend a lazy afternoon. It was a little slow at the start, (until I figured out how to kill the grey and red moving rocks without getting killed) but it never felt grindy. If fact it was nicely balanced, every time I started to get board I would find a new weapon or open a new area.
I wasted a lot of explosives by accidentally hitting the X- key instead of the Y-key; Consider changing the X-key to the E-key.
Also, consider moving the ore bins inside the store when I was inside shopping I kept forgetting how much of each ore I had to spend.
Do we earn something for watching ads? I assumed it would heal my health points, but I don't think it did.
It was the perfect length and difficulty for the type of game I was looking for today. But if this was just a demo, I'm looking forward to the full length game.

Thanks Geek4!
It's been a while since a review has been written despite people playing MarsQuest every day.... so thanks for taking the time to write it out!

There is a good and rewarding feeling that comes about when you are able to solve a game without much guidance. I am glad you were able to complete it.

Great for a Demo. More bosses, elements, and quests would make this game complete. also maybe weapons / parts? a few guns, light saber, etc... armor/upgrades like health? engineering would be a fun aspect, going back the weapon parts maybe they could be incorporated into quests. for example "find the turbine fan for the greenhouse" etc
all and all it was a great game to spend an hour on. would love to see a full version. good job!
