OVERVIEW - I was honestly surprised that something like this was created in Minetest. It was very cool to see.
I'm giving this a good review, mainly because it's very impressive!
Negative points: there ofc wasen't much gameplay, and, this didn't fit the "Unexpected" theme that well.
Good job :)
RATING SYSTEM:
1 - Not a fan
2 - Meh
3 - Okay
4 - Good
5 - Love it!
OVERVIEW - Robot operator was pretty fun, and had some cool mechanics, but, there was not much of a [obvious] goal to the game.
The puzzle part was pretty cool... maybe that sould've been more so the focus? Instead of a story-mode, maybe just making a
puzzle game?
Some that also would've strengthened the game a lot, is, adding sound effects, and maybe even bg music.
Anyways, good job Nathan; I thought it was pretty cool how the robots worked... maybe just a bit more work on the player-friendliness of the game.
RATING SYSTEM:
1 - Not a fan

5 - Love it!
Not great gameplay - not much incentive to play - except if I have like 10 friends...
Nobody has 10 friends laying around ready to play a game - glad you are hosting a server, but in the meantime - you might want to put effort into creating some AI for ghosts (and explorers, if possible), so its playable and enjoyable for less than like 5 people.
Just my two cents - otherwise I love the assets chosen and love the different theming behind the game idea.
yep - ABM based mapgen changing as you walk is a solid idea. But not a game - give the idea some more love and this could be a lot of fun. I - for one - would love to have aura's where I walk and change the world to sand or volcanic ash or whatever - but that sounds more like a mod. Any ideas for a game goal?
The base is there, but it'll need some more scripts for the various missions - I see where it's going, just ran out of time for the Game Jam - let us know if you need pointers on how to pull some of the missions off..
Really nice, finally a camera in game! :D But sadly minetest is a bit limited, so we dont get to have colors other than black and white and the photo wont look like what we see. Atleast we can take better screenshots with the f12 button! But i really like the idea for this mod and maybe in the future it will be able to have color and better nodes ;)
But if you wanna take a picture of landscapes like mountains, trees and stuff like that, not of your house or something more complex, it looks very good and we can understand and see that "oh, that's a tree. thats a mountain". It was very laggy for me too, but 15 seconds isnt that bad , and when it can takes photos, WHO CARES ABOUT LAG lol! Recommend for landscape pictures only.
Perfect for New Year or another fireworks celebration!
Nice fireworks, and we can easily create more colors in the code file, to make wonderful fireworks :) also i really appreciate that it works with mesecons, that way i can sit back and watch while the blinkyplants do their thing lol.
Other than the issues with the parkour difficulty mentioned by other reviews (I found the downward glide really hard to do, and am still not sure how I completed the grey glass parkour) this was a really enjoyable ~21-minute game. Points for it being made in a month too.
You can solve this puzzle a ton of different ways. Explore each and every era carefully and methodically. Search those nooks and crannies! It will take patience.
Hint if you are stuck: Look for plants!
Hint 2 if you are stuck: find solid ground through the ages!
Really solid level design, honestly. Great Jam Entry - and a good entry for Minetest generally.
Falling sucks, don't fall through.... (need a way to return the player back to "start" or something for this scenario for now)
Design for other screen sizes than 1920x1080 haha
Love the trees and textures: but the current very text-like looking black with white text node: please change that texture === too many attempts to read them all.
Technically I solved / beat the game with only 3 plants, but perhaps that's a feature, not a bug!
After beating the ending, I got a nice NPC still floating at the top of the citadel, tried talking to him - nice "nil" bug because he didn't have anything to say - double check the entity disappears or have a better ending sequence (go to main menu, credit reel, you get the idea)
Great mod! :-) Unfortunately causes frequent crashes with my game. :-(
Your leads mod is a great addition to Minetest! Thank you! 😀 Unfortunately I have a problem which seems to be associated with your mod. Mintest 5.8.1 in a Mineclonia game (Windows 10 64bit) frequently crashes with:

As a submitter of an even more optimized game so small it doesn't even exist, I can testify to the completeness of this game. Should this not take first or second place, I will be severely disappointed.
Sudouku in proper 3d instead of being the same 2d game in ether 1st person or with 3d models. Is something that you almost never see especaly with this level of execution.
It is what Minetest is at it's most basic. While it functions extreemly well as a modding base. As a sandalone game it falls flat from a lack of content and not enough indication that it is meant to be moded. Causing alot of confusion and negative reviews from new players.
The idea of a texture-pack that is based of an actual system arcetexture insead of just bein pixel art is a novel concept. The problen just comes from the lack of support with half the blocks in the default game being unchanged, and the textures themselves are also rough and hard to destinguish
I have been fascinated with what this mod is capable of doing with mathematical calculations and little weight to improve terrain generation and even improving the experience in general.
But it is not very intuitive for survival with mining.
What more is there to say it's mario in minetest. It is very functional with little to no bugs and also has pretty good level design. My only gripe is that the time of day is not set, so if you play for too long it will turn to night and you will literaly be left in the dark untill the next moring. But other than that pretty fun.
To all the people giving this a thumbs down saying things like "it has no game features" and "its bad without mods" or whatever, yeah, it's not supposed to, it clearly states in the description it's purpose and it does it well. The entire point of minetest engine, and by extention minetest game as a whole is to be customized. It's not supposed to be a feature rich game out of the box.
I know I may not be the target demographic, but that does not excuse the fact that this breaks other mods that use Unified Inventory causing them to loose the functionallaty on the buttons.
It is like an old minecraft lets play from 2012 just turned into a minetest texturepack.
The sharp angular asthetic is on point and very well drawn and detailed without being too overbaring.
And the extended support is nice too!
The general art direction is very acurate to the Minecraft version.
But the only 2 things holding this back are the missing textures and,
the low saturation and contrast compared to the minecraft version.
It may not be the prettiest thing out there. But it is so charmingly bad in an endering kind of way.
With the bright green grass and inconsistant artstyle reminding me of minecraft indev.
i used several inventory mods in my time playing minetest ,
but i always came back to use unified inventory (and the + extension thereof)
while it can look dated for some , i like the style personally

One Idea is not enough

I - for one - would love to have aura's where I walk and change the world to sand or volcanic ash or whatever - but that sounds more like a mod. Any ideas for a game goal?
Needs Some More Work
The base is there, but it'll need some more scripts for the various missions - I see where it's going, just ran out of time for the Game Jam - let us know if you need pointers on how to pull some of the missions off..
It fits the theme very well
The effects that happen throughout the game are very unexpected and the bot is unexpectedly good at chess. Its a simple yet great game!
Nice! But has limited use sadly
Really nice, finally a camera in game! :D But sadly minetest is a bit limited, so we dont get to have colors other than black and white and the photo wont look like what we see.

And again...very good idea lol

And happy new years! :D really recommend this mod
Well made, a nice linear game
Other than the issues with the parkour difficulty mentioned by other reviews (I found the downward glide really hard to do, and am still not sure how I completed the grey glass parkour) this was a really enjoyable ~21-minute game. Points for it being made in a month too.
A Eerie Puzzle, with Eerie plot, and Eerie bugs!
Puzzling! 🔗
You can solve this puzzle a ton of different ways. Explore each and every era carefully and methodically. Search those nooks and crannies! It will take patience.
Really solid level design, honestly. Great Jam Entry - and a good entry for Minetest generally.
Plot! 🔗
Yep, it adds and doesn't subtract.
Current Bugs! 🔗
Can't even install as the required mod is no longer available
Just as the title says. This mod is unable to be installed since CTF Teams is no longer available.
Great mod! :-) Unfortunately causes frequent crashes with my game. :-(

Quality content
As a submitter of an even more optimized game so small it doesn't even exist, I can testify to the completeness of this game. Should this not take first or second place, I will be severely disappointed.
2014 called, they want their jokes back
Fun: 0 - nothing to do
Innovation: 0 - literally from 2014
Graphics: 0 - none
Sounds: 0 - none
Theme: 0 - fully expected
Mood: 0 - none
Also, you didn't even write the main 'gameplay' mod - airsword
A brain teaser
Sudouku in proper 3d instead of being the same 2d game in ether 1st person or with 3d models. Is something that you almost never see especaly with this level of execution.
Classic and good with mods but not by itself
It is what Minetest is at it's most basic. While it functions extreemly well as a modding base. As a sandalone game it falls flat from a lack of content and not enough indication that it is meant to be moded. Causing alot of confusion and negative reviews from new players.
Nice idea with questionable execution
The idea of a texture-pack that is based of an actual system arcetexture insead of just bein pixel art is a novel concept. The problen just comes from the lack of support with half the blocks in the default game being unchanged, and the textures themselves are also rough and hard to destinguish
It's an os in a 3d minecraft clone on a linux computer
You can play wolfenstien 3d and chips challenge so that automaticly gives it some points. But is would also benifit from a bit more content
Too cheap
Sorry, I'd rather read the book of Proverbs :)
hehe
Umm nice I guess?
Ummm
Sorry, but this is such a weird game to have on Minetest...
nice
you can have funny names with funny colours 10/10
It's beautiful.
I have been fascinated with what this mod is capable of doing with mathematical calculations and little weight to improve terrain generation and even improving the experience in general.
But it is not very intuitive for survival with mining.

CHEESE
Fully functional cheese! with the cheese block you can make a cheese house while eating motserella cheese in real life!
Suprizingly well programed
For being so cursed it is shockingly well made.
It's very nice.... for Minetest.
It's not bad, I really like the mod, I don't like the cave dweller, but it is what it is and it's also pretty good.
I hope it can improve in the future and maybe more types of creatures instead of just a humanoid.
Best hunger mod!
It lets me put the hunger on the right side of the hotbar!
It's mario!
What more is there to say it's mario in minetest. It is very functional with little to no bugs and also has pretty good level design. My only gripe is that the time of day is not set, so if you play for too long it will turn to night and you will literaly be left in the dark untill the next moring. But other than that pretty fun.
Lazy at best
It is literaly just a very small city map populated only with bycicles that have been retextured to solid shadless cubes.
Great base game
To all the people giving this a thumbs down saying things like "it has no game features" and "its bad without mods" or whatever, yeah, it's not supposed to, it clearly states in the description it's purpose and it does it well. The entire point of minetest engine, and by extention minetest game as a whole is to be customized. It's not supposed to be a feature rich game out of the box.
So for what it's supposed to be, it's good.
Funny cute little guys
You can tame them by punching them... What else do I have to say
Y E S
The pain of the chat is an experiance to behold. Just watching the slow realization that they can only talk in UwU lanwidge is just bewutifuwl UwU
Map gen on crack is fun
The lunacy is a trip to expeiriance.
Breaks functionalaty
I know I may not be the target demographic, but that does not excuse the fact that this breaks other mods that use Unified Inventory causing them to loose the functionallaty on the buttons.
Sharp detailed and perfect!
It is like an old minecraft lets play from 2012 just turned into a minetest texturepack. The sharp angular asthetic is on point and very well drawn and detailed without being too overbaring. And the extended support is nice too!
Almost great but not quite.
The general art direction is very acurate to the Minecraft version. But the only 2 things holding this back are the missing textures and, the low saturation and contrast compared to the minecraft version.
Very much yes.
It is good and has nice grafics and stuff because it is cool and 3d looking or something like that
So ugly it's great
It may not be the prettiest thing out there. But it is so charmingly bad in an endering kind of way. With the bright green grass and inconsistant artstyle reminding me of minecraft indev.
Snazzy!
Very nice and colorful skys! The sun scailing looks a bit strange though. but still nice
the inventory mod i always come back to use
i used several inventory mods in my time playing minetest , but i always came back to use unified inventory (and the + extension thereof)
while it can look dated for some , i like the style personally
