Even unfinished, you achieved a lot of things on the universe and the gameplay. Congrats' !

Hexagonal map is very cool looking and seemed to work ok. Too bad you didn't get enough time in
it!

I know you ran out of time, it looked like a good start, though.

Too bad it's incomplete, it looked interesting.

How did you guys work in the theme, I guess the maze/map is one room?

I like the 2.5d appearance of the hex tiling. The tiles are nice quality, and appealing colors.
The game pieces dropping from the sky and bouncing to rest was very cute. :D

There were some artifacts in the rendering engine. Also, the avatar getting stuck on
obstacles is a frustration. I'm sure you would have overcome these eventually, given enough
time. And these can be easily overlooked if they don't interfere with gameplay and story.

Overall, what apparently hurt you was a lack of time to focus on gameplay, story and content. In
reading your diary, I see I'm just confirming what you know. I hope you'll have your engine
ready for next time, which will afford more time to devote to the missing aspects that will make
it fun to play. It looks promising!

Sadly not very much of a game. But a very interesting idea to use a hexagonal playing field.

Hope you learned some new techniques with this game, nice use of assets.

Looks like quite a promising game in the making. Graphically it looked very nice and I liked the
way the objects dropped and bounced into place. The control scheme was a bit fiddly because of
the hexagons - it meant you had to always go diagonally. It looks like you could have some
interesting puzzles with the various switches and enemies. Looking forward to seeing how
this develops further.

Not really a finished game. Basic walking around maze, dodge some pretty easy-to-dodge
enemies and get to pieces of your space ship. Bit like a tech demo I guess. I liked the hexagon
maps, looked cool and I guess this could form the basis of a proper game if given more time.

It's not fun to play, completely uncreative, and come to think of it, doesn't even connect to
the "one room" theme. Also, the readme is inaccurate and doesn't mention a dependency.

I can tell that if you had more time, this could have come out with a lot more polish - that said, I
can tell where you were going with this and it came out pretty well! I laughed at the placeholder
text and the little message a couple levels after - this was actually the level I got stuck on, as
the spaceship part I was gathering was hidden/stuck behind (right above technically) one of
the wall pieces. The randomly generated mazes are pretty cool, but it would have been nice to
see them more fleshed out - a lot of the time, the gates/floor sensors didn't aid me and served as
more of a cute little gameplay bit that would have been awesome if it made more sense within the
level it was placed in.
