Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Gorgeous cartoon-like graphics that reference the traditional RL characters in an inventive way. While some aspects of the UI, like the pig "sense", are effective, overall very little is communicated to the player. On the balance, the gameplay verges on being impenetrable.
  • Whoah, looks nice. What am I supposed to do? Brown ground starts to be green, yay! Now I have irregular green area and I have no idea what to do later. Plant a tree, of course! Is this tree interactive? It is, hell yeah! But the starting screen mentioned transformation into the pig... It works! But how? Is that some kind of radar. Try to follow it. And now I'm lost. Let's try again...
