Oct 8 22:39:36 Let's Circle Back ♥ 0 The Good ---- I liked the choice of assets for the enemies as well as the player and the environment. The desert background and the overall aesthetic are really nice and they fit together. Really strong introduction to the game with the cut scene (although I was expecting a 3D game after that but I didnt really mind). Good choice of music and sounds. Also good variety of enemy types. I like how there are tanky, ranged and kamikazee enemies. The Bad ---- The camera is too zoomed in. I dont know if this is done on purpose to encourage moving around, but it feels weird to be seen by the enemies but you cannot see them (unless you move). Maybe camera movement could be associated with moving the mouse to shoot. I found it quite hard if you move around, but it is pretty easy if you just stand stationary and shoot, which kind of defeats the purpose of being stuck in a circle (since it is more efficient to stay stuck at a point) Other comments ---- The big building in the middle really makes you feel it provides cover, but you can shoot through it and enemies can pass through as well. I think it would have been better if you had some other element in the middle like a lake (or oasis since we are in desert), an underground station / rocket launch pad or some rocks and sand dunes, to signify it is not an obstacle. Congrats on finishing the game. Keep up the good work!!
Oct 8 23:15:58 36m 22s BreakAway ♥ 0 The Good ---- Wow! That game really feels good. You definitely managed to prioritize the most important parts to achieve the best possible result in the game jam time window. I really don't think I can cover all the things I liked about this game because there are many. First of all, it has a nice and well conveyed concept with clear guidelines as to what to do and how to do it. Easy to pickup. I liked that the enemies have a different attack, it gives them some kind of personality (damn fire nation). The enemy AI also feels good and natural, the kind you would expect from a guardian. The animation on the player is really nice. Sound effects are on point. The colors and textures are also good and the fit the scene and feel of the game. Movement and game speed also feel nice. The Bad ---- Not much honestly. Even though the pillars have guardians you just have to kill a few then run to the pillar and take the element then break 2 pieces in the wall, and then not bother any more with that element. I would also like to see more interaction with the elements (e.g. in fighting). Other ---- The vast area between the pillars could be filled with some non-monochromatic texture (like a grass field, pavement bricks or really anything) to give you a sense of movement and not feel static until you encounter and enemy or a wall. Congrats on the game! It is really good and I would like to see how it could evolve. Keep up the good work!
Oct 9 00:41:14 1h 25m Everything is Garbage ♥ 0 The Good ---- This game is incredible. It is really amazing this happened in 72 hours. The visuals are just so nice. The sound effects also give a lot to the game and they double as music (not sure if it was intentional but they kind of keep a beat). The gameplay is fun and keeps you engaged as you try to produce more materials. It is a simple concept executed perfectly. The Bad ---- I WANT MORE! It is a shame that it finishes quite quickly, but I guess balancing a larger tech tree would not be possible in the game jam time limits. Other comments ---- * Selling babies is bad ? * I definitely was not expecting the second recipe for meat 😆 Excellent game! Keep up the good work!
Oct 9 01:20:38 39m 24s Bjorn to Dance ♥ 2 The Good ---- Nice game. It has a casual vibe and a classic memory puzzle style. The design and visuals is really good. The audio is also a very good aspect of the game. The Bad ---- It lacks an incentive for the player to keep going. The leader board definitely helps, however it does not add anything game play wise. Also I cannot say I feel it fits the theme of the jam really well (you do repeat the pattern some times and play the same loop however it does not feel like one). Other comments ---- Having said all of the above, I can say the game feels good to play and I like it. Congrats on the game. Keep up the good work!
