Reviews for "Salvage"
This is amazing. Been glued at it for hours. Keep doing what you're doing and release something similar on Steam.
Absolutely brilliant puzzle design. If there was any inspiration for the game, I would love to know.
A perfect blending of genres. It took me a solid two days of after-work effort to get ending 5/5. I especially love the variation in puzzle generation, and the fact that the same puzzle configurations behave exactly the same way every time. It's like Conway's Game of Life meets Ernesto (I think now being called Fidel) meets space shooters. Puzzle, shooter, roguelike. It really is fantastic.
This game deserves more credit and recognition!!!
That being said, I cannot FOR THE LIFE OF ME figure out how to unlock ending 4/5. All the others, I believe I acquired. Two types of deaths, two types of wins. Pretty straight forward.
I've tried everything I can think of, personally. I went ahead and bought all items from the shop, including the key, then rebelled against the kingdom... still just the social mobility ending. No matter how far I get into the game, it seems like only more enemies spawn. I cannot figure out how to trigger this apparent other ending.
I love the symbology in the game. It took me hours to see the crown, the buildings, realize I was gathering money for the kingdom and only getting my employee's share, see the rich and wealthy happily dancing behind the glass as shadows.
I could not have made this game better in a million years. I think it would adapt decently to phones as well. Would be a little small, but it kind of already is :)
I really like this concept. Visually it's great until there are too many things on the screen and then it's hard to tell what's what. Maybe adding another color to the actual projectiles in addition to the blue would be helpful.
Fun concept, but I found it impossible and random. As far as I can tell, it's random whether the enemies move first or shoot first, and whether they shoot at where you move from or where you move to. I kept taking hits that I couldn't avoid, spending all my money on healing, and eventually dying. Maybe I'm missing something, and maybe I would have done better if I'd gotten the shield or speed upgrades instead of healing. Still, I think the game would be better if it were more consistent and predictable.
