How does your game fit the theme?
In "Before the Tempest," the theme of "Calm Before the Storm" is woven into both the gameplay and narrative, representing the mental and emotional preparation one undergoes before facing an overwhelming challenge or event.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code from scratch, but most of the assets and music are sourced from the Unity Asset Store. I'm a humble game developer, so I focused on what I do best (aka the only thing I know how to do): coding!

Interesting and original incorporation of the theme. The sound when the font appears was a bit annoying.

Submitted

Interesting take on the theme. It was fun, the music was good and the sfx were on point.

One bug I observed is multiple music tracks play at the same time after a few mazes. Can be easily fixed but just got irritating after a point had to turn off my sound to play through the rest.

Kudos!! made a great game.

Interesting game and take on the theme! My criticism would be that the whole game lacks a bit of cohesion, if that makes sense. It feels like I just play through a maze because why not--not because it works well with the story or something. The story itself works nice and the maze too, but together, idk, it felt a bit random to me. Overall it's clear a lot of work went into here so a very good job anyway!

I really like the music! Anyway I don't see the theme here!

Submitted

i mean its nice game and i liked different mazes but i dont feel where is the them anyway good job 

make sure to try my game :D

Good idea with text and choices, but I really don't see the connection to the theme. Asides from that good game!

idea is great!! Good job 👏

Submitted

interesting idea. Some UI was a little out of place, but nothing game ending. Cool minigames

Submitted

Minigames idea was cool! Not sure how the color/emotions one work but still good job! 

Submitted

cool idea bro!! nice done:)

Submitted

Nice Game.

Submitted

This is different and creative. I only got to play the maze game, not sure if there were others.

Submitted

very creative, there however are some music issues that I encountered when playing the maze the music loop stacked on top of each other. very innovative idea tho :)

Submitted

A bold take on the theme, love to see it :D A few quick fixes on the audio issues would really do your game a whole lotta good. The concept is really interesting, Im sure you'd be able to cook up a storm if given enough time to work through the different mental challenges properly. Hope to see you continue polishing this game after the jam!

Submitted

he opening SFX scared me a little too! 🤣 I really enjoyed the minigames, and I mostly agree with the other developers in the comments—they summed up your game nicely. Overall, great job!

Submitted

I liked the minigames but I felt I had trouble seeing the connection to the theme. The music was nice and the words were great. I like the mental scan. I think leaning in to any of the minigames as the main game would have been pretty cool. I think minigames are great, but since the main game was picking the minigames, it kinda seemed like not enough time in the minigames.

Interesting idea! I had fun playing it. Agree with some comments here that having different minigames for each emotion would make the game even more interesting.

Good job!

Submitted

The music is amazing! The mazes are nice too, but it would be fun to have different minigames as well.
