How does the game fit the theme?
You have to plan out and adjust your "Game Code" accordingly to achieve a win. If you mess up, then you must take off countless hours to fix whatever mistakes were made. Thus, you must really make sure... NOTHING can go wrong!

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I made all the assets and everything myself, nothing was taken from anywhere else.

How many people worked on the game?

I was confused of how it work at first, i have tried like 5 minutes but i still haven't figure it out how to proceed. however the idea is really creative and looks promising maybe it's just me who is skill issue

Developer

Dont worry it definitely had a bit of a learning curve at the start :), you can open up the inspiration menu and inside there will be modules like [1X] and inside the code editor there will be like [P] so basically you just hold down 1 and X then you can let go or continue holding to press P

This might be the most creative jam game I've rated so far AND it's a pleasure to look at. Well done!!

Developer(+1)

Awesome to hear that! Thanks for trying it out

Always love to see how game dev games work. very unique idea. good job!

Developer

Happy that you liked the concept :D

Submitted(+1)

I love the game and the concept. It took a long time to figure out what I needed to do, but once I did, it was fun!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving it a shot! Glad you had fun

Submitted(+1)

This is amazing, really cool idea and although a bit confusing at first, you get the hang of it and it gets fun. 

Developer

Glad you liked it! Hope it was engaging enough

Playing a game jam game about creating a game for a game jam! loving it! But it is rather complicated to understand at first. It takes some time to get into. Other than that the playerfeedback on the ui and the art look really good!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for trying it out!

Submitted(+1)

The art is amazing. It's just a little too hard for me. I really tried to learn it tho!

Developer

Thanks for trying to learn it out! Hope you at least liked the visuals :)

Submitted

loved the visuals!

Submitted(+1)

I liked the visuals it looks you put much work on them. It was really hard to get my way around this game but overall nice!

Developer

Thanks! Hope you enjoyed the visuals at least :D

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed the game too! But it was hard to learn!

Developer

Yeah that seems to be the common ground of flaws so far, just a tad bit too hard :p

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

The idea is really cool and I also love the visuals. But the game is a bit overwhelming, the ?help being a wall of text doesn't help with getting accustomed. I think a more gradual approach to the tutorial would work nice (like for example, when you first start the game, it highilight each element like inspiration tab, and shows a brief explanation) Also having the help pause the game time would be nice so you can look up stuff while playing. Also maybe the inspirations tab could be a bit more organized? as well it's a bit hard to look through your options, as they constantly move around.

But other then that, I think this game is really cool, I also love how you can see all effects take place in real time

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving it a shot and feedback! Yea i agree the learning curve is definitely the biggest thing with the game so far. Glad you liked the concept though!

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

HELL of a game /pos. I played it before the voting stage and I LOVED IT. The learning curve is pretty steep yeah but once I figured out how it all worked I played for an additional 30 minutes just trying to get my best time LMAO

Developer

Happy that you got addicted to the game :p

Submitted(+1)

Heyo, this game is pretty cool but pretty hard to get into. I kept wondering why some values weren't working but it turns out they need to be the right color. Also, I didn't really know how the scoring worked at the end so i dunno how well i did... I liked it though!

Developer

Glad you checked it out! And sadly the scoring doesnt actually change though, only shoes a high score for when you win and a low score for when you lose :p

Hey, I remember you from the Coco Code Game Jam, where we both made a snake game. Nice to see participating here too!

This game concept is very interesting and meta, funny thing is I had the same idea of making a game about game dev, but after just a day, I figured I wasn't a good enough game dev to actually make it. So congrats just for realizing that idea! 

As for the game itself, I do find hard to grasp, but eventually after a bit of struggle, I managed to somewhat understand it, and find quite challenging but also fun! The visual and the great music definitely helps with that.

If you're planning to develop this game further (which I think you should) maybe you can make the guide a video or better yet interactive?

In any case, this was a great concept, executed quite well, amazing work!

Developer

Hey a coco jammer! Nice seeing you too :> Glad you liked the game!

Submitted(+1)

I definitely had a hard time interacting with the game, so I have to echo what others are saying which is to add some mouse support for editing the variables. I think the concept is awesome and being able to edit a game in real time is very cool. This game is ready to be modded.

Developer (1 edit)

Yea mouse support would be nice :/ But anyways are you able to tell on what the possible interaction issues were? Currently the only ones i know of are "Keyboard rollover issues which causes specific 3 key combinations to be unpressable" and "People not realising first two buttons need to be held down not just pressed". Anyways thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

That's very innovative! I gave up at a certain point x) Impressive work!

Developer(+1)

Hehe its okay! Game was definitely a bit too tough at the start

Submitted(+1)

This game is requiring coffee before you sit down to tackle this. Very cool how you implemented the realtime changes in the game. I wish mouse support was there as I its my preference maybe click into box to then edit? Overall clean design. Maybe more hand holding on the tutorial section i believe. good job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving it a try! Hope you gran more coffee for any future endeavors :D

Submitted(+1)

I will definitely retry after another esspresso!

Submitted(+1)

Took me a while to figure out even with instructions spelled out in plain English, but that's on me.
Very interesting take on game development process, I'd say I had a similar situation at least once during the previous jams, where I couldn't settle on good default values for everything during the last day and shipped the game with near unbeatable difficulity curve.
Very clever, and visuals are clean as hell!

Developer(+1)

Ay thanks for playing! Hope you had some fun, don't worry its not just you, the starting difficulty curve is indeed a bit high

Submitted(+1)

I tried my hardest, but failed... a lot of times hopefully this isn't an accurate representation of my game dev skills , either way it was pretty good. I feel like the selection through keyboard was a bit weird with sometimes the incorrectly written ones not disappearing and stuff, even with the debug tab it was almost impossible to devise what needs to be changed. Graphs would be better than just raw numbers. The debug thingy was weird, I didn't even realize that just having it open caused the time to speed up instead of it just being a one time penalty whenever used.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out! Learning curve is indeed a bit high and a mild bit unbalanced. But i hope you had fun!

Submitted(+1)

I might be a dum dum for not realizing that the modules' color corresponded to the tab colour at the top and so was searching for colours everywhere for a while xD. After I found it though the game turned out quite interesting, it is overwhelming how many inspirations come in but I'm sure that's an easy fix. 

Ofcourse, like everyone else, I have to comment on the phenomenal music choices :] it was a blast to listen to! Outside of that, the idea itself is really unique and well done bud! Awesome job! <3

Developer(+1)

Thanks for giving it as shot! Hope it wasn't too bad of a learning curve for you :) Glad you liked the music! rushed it in the final day ;-;

Submitted

No need! Ty for making a cool game! x]

Hey you atleast got it in, I didn't manage to put in any sfx or music in mine :'].....

Submitted(+1)

Little bit tricky to get the hang of it but once you do its really fun. really nice music too

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked it

Submitted(+1)

The game idea is really cool and executed really well. Took a few tries to get a hang of it, but definitely can see this as a steam game. For anyone that wanted to try and play it, it will be a better experience to play download version instead of the web. 
 Innovation 5/5. Game lag 900/900 nodes. 

Developer

Hahaha thanks for the comment! yea indeed if anyone wants to be SERIOUS with this game download version is better, but browsers still fine :D Hope you had fun!
