Didn't get to play this yet, but FYI:
You can't sideload .rar files to the playdate. The sideload page only allows .zip files.
Obviously this can stil be circumvented by just extracting the rar file and making a zip file out of it, but it'd still be appreciated if you could upload this as a zip file ;)
Thankas for the tip i'll do it now
oh i can't upload the zip now because of the jam period aparentlly. Strange, because just yesterday i could do a bugfix after the submissions ended.
That's fine. You can always update it after the jam period ;)
can drop it in via Data Disk Mode.
Had trouble finding bacterium for a while, and a few cases where they just up and disappeared part way through cataloguing.
That said, definitely some potential here for a fun and interesting game, maybe even some educational avenues as well.
Thanks for the review. Did picking the "POWER UP" upgrade resolved the problem you mentioned? I didn't had the chance of balancing the game much. Also did you tested the game in real hardware? How was the performance? This is another thing i ended up not doing at all.
I don’t recall seeing anything that looked like a power up. But perhaps I missed it, it’s a large area, I might have to give it another try and see if that makes it easier.
There is a "upgrades" option in the playdate menu. There you can acess some upgrades. I didn't had time to implement a tutorial
Ahh, I forget that the playdate lets games inject stuff into the menu, very much not used to that :D
I made a little bugfix(literally 2 lines of code) prior to the submission time. I hope it's no considered problematic.
