Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • A nice complete package of a game -- the overworld, upgrade system, boss fight and moment-to-moment play are all well done and easy to understand.

    • game seems complete, but definitely needs more work - lots of rough edges (broken fullscreen, bullets cutting walls' corners) and lack of balance spoil somewhat positive impression
    • bosses have attack patterns, there is variety of enemies, game uses various algorithms for dungeon generation
    • slow player movement, small field of view, fast bullets, no way to recover from mistakes - it all makes Beneath... hard
    • it's possible to exploit ai flaws to make game easier, but "sneaking" and sniping from distance long enough to avoid alerting enemy is boring

Successful or Incomplete?
