I love the visuals, it looks great! Especially the screen shake when new idols drop. Just wish it had sound.
I did notice an issue where when I had a lot of jobs unlocked, the tooltip for the one at the bottom went off the edge of the screen, so I couldn't see what it would make.
This is great! I had a lot of fun playing it. The teleportation mechanic is pretty clever. The level design is also top-notch, with stuff placed to teach you things without having to say them explicitly with text.
The only criticism I have is that the theme connection seemed a little shaky. But overall great work! I could totally see this being expanded into a full commercial game.
Took me a bit to understand the mechanics, but after that I enjoyed it. I just wish it had sound!
This game is really addicting. I love some of the "broken combos" you can make with some of the cards, like using the card to multiply the value of coins and then immediately playing the card to collect all the coins on screen. I could definitely see this being expanded into a full game that would be a lot of fun. And it fits the theme really well too!
A couple of suggestions: 1. It would be nice to have some sort of indicator for when the "value multiplication" effect wears off. For other effects it's easier to tell (like when you start falling faster, or don't move side-to-side as much), but I had a hard time figuring out how long the coin value was multiplied for. 1. I think the card drawing animation could be sped up a bit. The "draw more cards" cards weren't nearly as good as I thought they would be, because playing one basically locks you out from playing any cards for a few seconds. It felt like it would always take just long enough to finish drawing the cards right before I hit the bottom of the pit, thus wasting the card.
Overall great work!
Maybe this is the point, but I uh...couldn't really figure out what was going on, lol
Pretty easy once you figure out the winning strategy; I kind of wish there was a little more to it strategically. But enjoyable nonetheless. I liked the music, and the tutorial was a great addition!
Oh and at first I thought the money and population ticks were synced to the beat of the music and got excited, but then they got out of sync eventually :frowning2:
The place where the spell fires from seems to be a bit too low, I was trying to shoot the things at the top of the tower and had a tough time of it because I had to angle really far upward.
Amazing, I love it. The music, the visuals, the theme, it all fits perfectly. This is the best I could do (despite my best efforts I couldn't get to 2 minutes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iu_TfNA2vNw
@auxiliarymoose Ah yeah as long as one of the fingertips are over the snooze button you should be able to press it. Some visual indication of when your press would be valid is a good idea.
Too bad about the sound, you missed out on the super annoying alarm noise! I hope the sound isn't broken for everyone...
