A downloadable game for Windows

Hello there!

My name's Lucas and this is my first real project.

This game is a prototype and I'm asking for any feedback! 

The game is on a very early phase, every art is basically a placeholder.

I've used some sounds I've found on the internet and the music is created by AI, but I do not own it, so it will be replaced in the future as well.


The game is essentially a rogue-lite mixed with a clicker and tower defense, kinda.

AI has revolted against humanity and is trying to kill every human. It's your duty to defend the base (later on it will be a city).

Your objective is to shoot (by aiming and clicking) on enemies. Every enemy you kill earns you credits that you can use to repair and upgrade your base.

Every time you die you lose all your upgrades, but you keep your researches, which you develop automatically by killing enemies (AI is way smarter than humans, so all we can do is reverse engineer their technology to use against them!).

The game has 3 enemies: Ripper, Torment and Beetle, and 4 weapons: Light Cannon, Machine Gun, Explosive Cannon and Laser Cannon.


All I ask is for feedback. I have a lot of ideas to implement on this game, such as skills and crew management. Also, I want to implement more rogue lite elements to make each run unique. Personally, I think this game is fun and has potential, but I want to create a real game which people can enjoy.

In the future, if everything goes acording to plan and people enjoy this game, I intend to sell this game for something like 3 to 5 dollars.

So I really, really wish you to play it for a while and give me your honest feedback!

I want to know:

  • What did you enjoy about this game?
  • What you did not enjoy about this game?
  • Imagine this game as a full release (the best as you can to achieve the best version in your mind), do you think this game would be fun? Would you play it?
  • Do you have anything you wish to tell me to make this game a better and enjoyable game?

If you did not enjoy the game, please let me know. I understand that this game may not appeal to everyone and I am open to constructive feedback. I am already working on another prototype and if this game doesn't have commercial potential, I will not be held back by it. Your feedback will help me improve as a game developer!

If you took your time to read this and actually played the game, you have my most sincere thanks!

I hope to meet you guys in the future with a lot more games!

Download

Download
Hollow Gear Prototype Release.rar 18 MB

Install instructions

Just download the file and extract it, using winrar or a similar program.

It will create 2 files. You must click on the Hollow Gear.exe to play the game.

The game will also create a savefile on your appdata folder. I'm not entirely sure if it will create a folder called Godot/Hollow Gear/savegame.save or just Hollow Gear/savegame.save.

If you wish to "uninstall" the game, just delete the 2 files created when you extract and the savegame and everything will be deleted.
