A bleak but incredibly morally ambiguous game that makes you think about the seemingly innocent child-hood game of Battleships. Mike Klubnika once again brings a startling and industrial mood to Concrete Tremor and immerses the player in a no-win and despondent world. Bravo!
Pros:
Incredible setting - conjures the player into a grey moralistic world
Soundtrack and Mortis style narration gives the sense that the player is in another world, but strangely familiar and bleak
Although linear in gameplay, the illusion of deciding the outcome rings heavy
Cons:
Would have liked the 'battleship' board to have both letters and numbers across it
At first wasn't sure whether the 'pegs' were buildings or already flattened buildings from another game.
Overall, another fine gem from Klubnika! Looking forward to the next one!
When I used to get sick during childhood, my older brother and I played battleship. It was always fun to sink ships and win over, trying to strategically place them so that my brother was not able to find any. This game reminded me of that time with my brother, so thank you for it Mike.
The game's visuals, atmosphere and the over arching story is brilliant, yet a bit dark. I have played your games in the past, but none of them feature this type of tone. I very much enjoyed it, although felt uncomfortable, especially towards the end. Nevertheless, the twisted horror aspect was there and I liked it.
As always, superb job mate. Can't wait to see more games from you in 2023. Cheers 🎇
this was fantastic as always mike! i consider you one of the higher tier devs on itch, mainly for your story telling and unique style, and as always this did not disappoint, my only request would be more endings, it would be intriguing to find out what would happen if we did win the game other than that gameplay above hope you guys enjoy
That means a lot, thank you so much! I think this concept has a lot of room for more stories to be told, but sadly I was working on a pretty tight deadline so I could only go so far. Thanks a lot for playing!
honestly i think a lot of your games could have sequels or full games, i hope one day you make a full game because your one of the top tiers out there man! looking forward to the next one man
This game was awesome. It was exciting the entire way through and kept me engaged with the way it told its' story. You're really good at this stuff, Mike. Great job as always!
wow that was some intense stuff. Loved it. On the one hand, I love the ending, on the other, I kinda wish there was another ending cuz I wanna play the game more haha
This was not bad. I assume you can never win though, no one can master the art of killing innocent civilians in apartment complexes. Overall, not bad. Made a video on it.
I couldn't figure out at first what was considered a hit and what's a miss (I figured it out at the end), and only seeing one of the two players number of buildings at a time confused me a little.
I agree, it's sort of trial and error trying to figure out how the device works at first. I was under a pretty tight deadline so simply didn't have enough time to get around to polishing it.

Disturbing, yet a bit nostalgic for me.
