Thanks for submitting a game to the jam. I hope you got something out of it.

My feedback:

  • The game works but nothing particularly grabbed my attention
  • It was not obvious to me immediately how to control the basket. Also, I would have liked an option to use arrow/WASD keys as well
  • The link to the theme recovery is not obvious
  • The UI Apple Outline that fills did not overlap the while fill during my game
  • There was an error log at the bottom of the page during the game
  • I'm not a fan of having the "bad" collects the same colour as the trees as it reduces clarity

Overall: try to push yourself even further next time, especially for a month-long jam. Find some friends if you need to work with - makes it more fun. 

Also, try to use the theme as a creative focus. I always approach the theme this way: "Would I have made this game without the jam theme being what it is?" "If I took the theme aspects out of the game would it still be a complete game?" If you answer yes to both of these questions then the theme is not an important part of the game.

  • Use of Theme - 2
    • The theme is not very present. I can see how someone might interpret it as 'recovering apples' but i think it's still too far fetched.
  • Gameplay - 3
    • It's well implemented, i liked the subtle slowing down of the apples at the end so you could still catch them if 2 spawned in defferent ends. That was a nice touch. I feel like it is too easy though, i played for a good 5 minutes and the difficulty was always the same. Not enough variance to keep the player engaged i'm afraid.
  • Creativity - 3
    • The game is pretty simple, not much diversity in the gameplay. I appreciated the different golden apple and the durian aspect but that was not much.
  • Art - 3
    • The game is pretty with a cute background and cute sprites. I just feel like the font is kind of ugly and maybe too big?
  • Sound - 4
    • The sound was pretty good, not extraordinary though.

Overall a very average game.
