| Oct 5 16:13:16 | Head Librarian | ♥ 1 | I don't know what is inside those books but I assume it's nitroglycerin. | |
| Oct 5 16:24:28 | 11m 12s | Willy on a Wheel | ♥ 2 | Fun game, quite hard but you can get used to it. Its somewhat buggy tho. I had it crash on me (browser version) and it forced itself maximalized all the time and that was annoying. I really like the menu music, that was some nice bass there! |
| Oct 5 16:33:50 | 9m 22s | Unstable "AI" | ♥ 0 | Cute art but I didn't find it fun. |
| Oct 5 17:24:47 | 50m 57s | Help, I cast the wrong spell! | ♥ 1 | Love It! Just a great game even tho it crashed on me when it spawned a sh*t ton of dynamite at the end :D |
| Oct 5 19:23:40 | 1h 58m | My First Game Jam Game | ♥ 1 | Quite nice. |
| Oct 6 19:09:27 | 23h 45m | Under the Weather | ♥ 2 | The game looks nice but I had a terrible frame rate. |
| Oct 6 19:50:19 | 40m 52s | Plundering Boy | ♥ 2 | ARRRGH! Blow me down! Shiver me timbers! What a beautiful game ye've got there arr, matey! Yer voice be like o' an angle! I have never plundereth more booty in my whole life! I wish we could hop on a Man-O-War and chase those landlubbers for all they have got and Let them walk the good old gankplank! We'd be the gentlemen o' fortune that there the seven seas 'as ne'er spied. Ye be the scourge o' the seven seas an' we'd 'ave more swag than we could e'er spend! |

| Oct 7 19:17:38 | 11m 00s | Stars - Where they come from? | ♥ 2 | It looks and sound great, I love the style and the polish is impressive. This might be the most impressive style I have seen this Ludum Dare, good job! However I find the controls too clunky for my taste. |
| Oct 9 11:16:15 | 39h 58m | DrunkOnPotions | ♥ 2 | The game looks nice but it has some serious design problems. It wants too many things at the same time from a player, it's just an overload of multitasking. The game requires you (the player) to: look to at multiple different places: 1. the wizard 2. the enemies 3. where are you aiming 4. the position selection 5.- decode what potions are available 6.- Remember what each combination of potions does 7.- Select the correct combination for the situation 8.- Decode what combination of left and right clicks you need to get the desired combination 9.- Make priority decisions (what needs to be defended first) Since the game doesn't explain what the potions combinations do, you also need to: 10.- to observe the effect of the potion (you need to be looking where the potion flies as it gets shot) 11.- decode the effect - (decode what the hell just happened from the swarm of numbers) 12.- make the connection of that effect to the potion combination (assuming you didn't lose track of what you selected) And all or at least most of these need to be done in a span of 2 seconds every 2 seconds. That is 160ms per task and since the average reaction time is ~200ms there is no way that this is possible to fully play. If you want to improve the game in the fastest and easiest way I would recommend: - get rid of the shoot timer - let the player decide when they shoot - place the available potions GUI closer to the action. - place the selected potions GUI closer to the action. (good option might be top center of the screen for the available potions and either same place for the selected or selected potions near the cursor - this will make above mention requirements 4. 5. 7. 8. faster and easier) Other ideas on how to improve/simplify the game: - make the cursor display, whether the potion shot will reach the spot or whether it will hit some obstacle on the way (this will limit the player needs to look at the wizard and thus limit the need for 1.1.) - give the potion combination easily readable and easily distinguishable animations/VFX (this will speed up the processing of the 11. and make 12. easier) - make the base potions that the player is mixing more different. Give them different shapes, sizes, textures/VFX(this will improve 5. 6. 7. 8. 12.) - all the other suggestions you read among these comments |
