What did this game do well?


Cascade Capture has a very fun idea behind its development. The idea of dodging and catching different shapes to test reflexes is interesting. The goal of the game is also clear which is always a plus for web games. Classic gameplay, easy to control. Good background music. The sound design is really nice. I like the effect you chose for getting a circle. Hit detection also seems incredibly accurate, as I was able to pick up circles while barely dodging triangles. I also didn’t get the zoom in bug that happened in class. music is so good, i can listen it all day! and the audio that capture the green object is cool,too. The game was very engaging and it was really interesting using just one key to change directions which made it a bit challenging the game is fun with collecting the circle ball to get points meanwhile we also need to avoid the triangles, it add a little bit difficult to the game

What could this game have done better?


The color profile and use of textures made it less minimalist than expected. Also the game’s aspect ratio doesn’t fit the window so it’s very difficult to play. The last thing is the game speed, maybe slowing it down or changing the velocities of the falling shapes can change the difficulty of the game. Better if falling objects are bigger and the moving speed(both basket and objects) is slower. I think there needs to be some way to challenge the player or incentivize them to go for risky plays. Maybe a golden shape that awards more points? Or speeding up the basket movement to make it harder? Lives UI could be more beautiful and All UI are same,too. Cuz it’s not obvious that how many lives i have left I wish I could see my progress. There’s a score but it would be nice to see like the cup filling up or something or some more apparent positive feedback other than sound for when you collect the green shapes. slow down the character speed maybe, it’s hard to follow the character
