Apr 4 23:18:58 Stop The Clock ♥ 0 ## The good + Interesting stylistic approach, by including the Ludum Dare counter as the "Inevitable", fun twist + Quite satisfying sound effects on when clicking on the numbers. + Easy and intuitive to get in and start playing, no need to read controls + Fits the theme perfectly ## The bad + Game duration can be quite long. I don't think I played for too long but the game started to feel very tiring and repetitive after some point. + There is not a lot of replayability. Even after one time, I didn't find the courage to go for a new highscore, and I think this is mostly due to the large (relatively to the game complexity) game time. ## Summary Overall, I can say that even though I liked the game and I did find it interesting, I also found it very limited. I think it could have been more challenging in some other way rather than increasing the numbers flow rate. In that way, the experience would be kept fresh and exciting, while it would also make you lose faster and add more replayability to the game. I think some background music would be a fine addition too. Good luck and keep up the good work!
Apr 4 23:51:24 32m 26s Ambulance Simulator ♥ 1 ## The good + Good fit of the theme + Nice music, quite catchy (except for the horrifying death sound, which I guess makes sense) + Nice and simple concept and core game mechanic ## The bad + I am not a big fan of the graphics in this game. This is not really a bad thing, but more of a personal preference, but I do feel that they could be better. I don't necessarily mean better drawn, but they could also be more minimalistic or 8bit-like. However, I do think that they currently fit the music quite well, in some way 😄 + Some items are quite frustrating to catch, especially the needle. I don't know if that was done on purpose to have some more difficult items, but I do feel some items are just a bit too hard to catch. I think some extra padding around them for clicks would be a nice addition while not making the game too easy. ## Summary The first impression of the game is quite nice, but I don't feel there is a lot of replayability there. I cannot exactly pinpoint why I feel that but after a couple runs, I couldn't bring myself to go for a better high score. I think it could be that the game feels to lack some depth and complexity and the core mechanic, although nice, lacks the addictiveness / polish to carry the game on its own. I do however, think the game can give quite a lot more with a bit of polish. Good luck and keep up the good work!
