Hope to see another game next year
Really enjoyed myself!
It started very fun and exciting for me, however once I believe I saw everything it of course lost some luster. That being said I think that’s a good thing, as basically I just wanted more.
Backtracking to the base did feel a bit boring, but once I got the upgrade to not have to go back to base, the game lost a lot of it’s feeling up pushing my luck. I feel like getting an upgrade which gives you your Manhattan distance from the base would be a better solution here. The thing being that once I got the no penalty for running out of fuel I just drilled as deep as I could, and never cared about the road back.
tl;dr; I liked it - so thank you :D
Great jamming with you 🥳
Good game, but it's hard to meet quotas later on...
IMHO, main thing that is multilevel fuel tank upgrade. Without it you can do only so much.
Another idea is to remove reward points, and make purchases for money left beyond quota. Maybe allow to pay quota "out of pocket" if there was not enough haul. At least it will not be instant game over in unlucky days.
The only way the game ends is for you to either die or fail to meet quota. So the quota going up quite steeply ensures the game will eventually end, and you can compete to go the longest/get high score.
Balancing the quota amounts was quite hard, and I didn't have that much time for it during the jam.
Anyway thanks for playing, hope you enjoyed it.
nice game
