| Jan 9 16:22:37 | Rhythm Reaper | ♥ 3 | Yo, I could see this being a real good concept if you keep going with this. I like the theme of a rhythm based combat game where you play as the grim reaper. I think the combos could use some work though. I should clarify that I'm not really sure if I was successfully doing them or not. I noticed some different attacks like throwing the scythe vs. swinging it, but nothing really stood out to tell me "this is a combo". I feel like having the combos in the top left while the track is at the bottom also makes it hard to think about them in the moment. I found myself either looking at the combos and pressing when I thought I was on rhythm or looking at the track and just trying to stay on beat. I think if you displayed the combos right above the rhythm track (or even found a way to transpose them directly onto it) it would do a lot to help the player figure out what they're supposed to do. That being said I really liked this game. Definitely better than my hunk of garbage 😅. In other news, what's up fellow dP 🐉's 😄! It's so cool to see people I know on here. How's life been since the good old days (2017)? | |
| Jan 10 02:40:03 | 10h 17m | Night Job | ♥ 1 | Oh my god this was really good! I really like that old-timey flickering effect. I want to know how you did that. Just a couple nitpicks before I give this a full score. On the operation where I had to remove both kidneys I removed the right one first and then when I went to remove the left it wouldn't let me so I did the right again and the left kidney swapped out with the right one and removed the right one again. Also, in the last operation I removed the heart and nothing happened. I don't know if there was supposed to be an ending and the game just broke, but if there was something else I didn't end up seeing it. Now for my score: Overall, I gave it a 5. I thought it was a well put together project, and I'd love to see it developed further. Humor and mood are such easy categories that seem under utilized in LD. 5's for both of those. 5 on graphics. Again, I feel like a lot went into this. If this was all made in the game jam I feel like I have so far to go. I love seeing stuff like this and just thinking "I will probably never be this good". I gave audio a 4. I liked the music, but I didn't really think it stood out. Not a bad thing. It does what it's supposed to. For fun and innovation I did 3 and 2 respectively. I did enjoy the game, but as far as mechanics go I would've liked to see more game play than just "click to do thing". When I think innovation I think innovative mechanics first, then theme second. Again, I really did like this and would probably play this if it was a full game (or at least watch streamers/YouTuber's react to it 😅). |
