Bunker Builder

I like your idea! I wasn't sure what material protected agest what but after some trial and error I figured it out. Maybe I missed something though. But overall good job, it was a lot of fun!

The ui was a bit much. Actually the whole game was overwhelming. I liked the idea you had for it though.

This one certainly had a difficulty curve 😅 I think the UI could've been simplified to only show the material the disaster was weak to, since that was the only information necessary. The gameplay was easy to understand, so nice job on that!

I really like the concept of this crazy elemental mash-up building style game, it was a lot to take in at first but I quickly got the hang of it, only to find the difficulty ramps up very quickly! 😅 but it was a lot of fun and I did at least survive 47 disasters! Good job! :)

I played your game on stream, https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1803296797?t=01h33m36s

honestly I don't really get this one, I can tell that you wanted people to build the correct defense as the hazard was coming, but with everything tossed at you at once, its really hard to absorbed all the need info before you get tiered and more on.

it would be better to limit the amount of hazards and building you can use at first, and drip feed it so the info gets digested easier. but I also know this is a jam, and time is very limited.

I really like the ideas in this game, but in practice I had a hard time reacting to the oncoming disasters and knowing what block to use. Especially after a couple minutes when like 6 of them spawned at once haha. That being said I found it pretty fun :)

The difficulty ramps up fast, I think without enough time for the player to really learn the resistances and weaknesses of incoming damage. Between having to keep looking at the forecast and cumbersomely cycling through the materials with numebr keys, It got pertty hectic.

That being said, it's a pretty funny concept and I can see it turn into an engaging game if you slow the pace down, starting off with 3-4 disasters and then introducing new ones to the pool over time

Very original idea! That escalated quickly haha!

this was really cool, i love this concept, maybe you couldve also added upgrades that decrease your cooldown, and maybe being able to place bigger blocks? sort of like cookie clicker, after a disaster is destroyed, you get some points, and you spend it on upgrades. this concept has a lot of potential, solid entry

Really cool idea, and fairly deep for the scope of a gm48 game! My immediate suggestion for future games like this would be to keep things a lil clearer - there was a lot to take in from the two tutorial screens and then in-game a lot of potential help space was unused.

It might have been good eg. to offer a little guide of what was good against what on-screen at all times, as when a hazard appeared, I wasn't quickly and effectively differentiating all the building materials. I spent most of my best attempt just surrounding the base in layers of everything 😅

I think you'd have been fine, and probably actually better, without including the wall of text example images. Looking at them actually made the game seem more complicated than it actually was. But then again, I'm the guy who has a history of making figure-it-out-as-you-play type games that confuse people. Of course a nice clean tutorial would've been best but I completely understand that such a thing doesn't usually fit within a gm48 time budget. Probably why most people opt for simple (and sometimes as a result, boring) games instead. But as for the game itself, it was fairly entertaining. I thought the difficulty ended up scaling a bit too quickly after a certain point though. Also, some of the materials were a bit hard to identify.
