I really liked the twist on the pinball mechanic that was done with this game and the graphics/ audio were really well done. A "Play Again" or "Reset" button would've been appreciated and some more text the beginning of the game explaining the game objectives might make what's happening on screen a little more clear to the player. I really had a fun time with the game so great job!
I really enjoyed protecting "it", in spite of all of the things that could destroy it. Having a little more time at the beginning of a level for the player to start moving might make certain levels less frustrating. I liked the simple controls, that you really built up. It was an execution of the theme! Great work!
I like the way that you took the theme and applied it to old school typing games. The texts were humorous and the game felt fun to progress in even though it was endless so great job!
I really liked the aesthetic of the game. Very interesting execution of the theme too! Maybe having a way to grab more than one drink with a command that also took a little longer than grabbing one drink alone would bring some more strategy into the time crunch that game is based around.
I didn't have sound while I played the game, but I'm assuming you hadn't gotten to adding it, which is fine. I liked the mechanic of moving the balloon when the birds started to move faster and swarm you, but the collecting lives portion of the game were kind of dull in my opinion. Having the birds alternate between coming at you fast or slow, and alternate between coming at you in pairs and alone would make the core mechanic more fun in my opinion. Thanks for an interesting project and I liked the art style as well, Up reference included!
I really liked the art and aesthetic of the game. The shooting/steering mechanic was interesting, but a bit clunky and I also had resolution issues so I couldn't see some of the top part of the screen in the Mac version. Perhaps making the steering less floaty and adding animations for the antibodies and virus moving through the level would make things more lively. Great job with the game, I enjoyed it!
The mechanic for this game was really interesting, but including something at the beginning for the player to know what the end goal of the game could be helpful. The sound of Patty falling over can get a bit jarring after a while, but besides that you've made a pretty interesting game.
You took a really simple concept and made a super addicting game out of it! The art and music were very appreciated as well, so great work!
