Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • The idea of completing multiple minigames to reach a goal is a fun one, but the theme of the jam didn't really translate aside from narratively. As for the minigames themselves, they're fun on paper but the current implementation is lacking on feedback and it's all a bit unclear whether you're doing what they want you to or not. The rythm game in particular felt irrelevant as I did horrible and that was never acknowledged and just moved me onto the next one.

I really liked the fact that you had multiple minigames. Also the game where you read the comments had me LUL. The only comment that was missing was, wow your game is a nice "insert game name here" rip off.  Very fun games. My only feedback for a post jam build is maybe add a little more UI and feedback for the rhythm game. It took me a while to realize I was hitting the notes.  

Developer

That would have been a good comment, and Thank you for your feedback we will look into a better UI for the rhythm game.

Cool you managed to fit so many minigames into the jam, and thanks for reminding me how bad I am at Rhythm games.

Developer

Hey this game is one of my favourite so far! I really enjoyed the first two games, great concepts. The last stage confused me, I wasn't sure which comments to blast, just the bad ones or all of them? 

Developer(+2)

Hi there! So glad you enjoyed this. The idea was to "Like" the good ones (aka shoot them) and avoid the bad comments. Couple people have stated that they weren't sure on the final mechanics so that's something we'll carry into the future.

Not sure what to do in the last part with the comment if I should click on all or just let the good one stay? Love dance dance revolution, could have some indication that you did right and maybe combo counter? Was hard to know if I did right or not but did not hear any "buzz" and the score went up so I guess I did alright.

Potential!

Thanks for the great feedback! Lots of polish we hoped to add, but ultimately the power of deadlines cause us to move forward.
