Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • Very nice, cohesive art and music. The game throwing you into the deep end without even explaining the controls was a bit confusing and the game seemed to be a tad laggy (or was it the player speed being too slow?)

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
yes

That was a cool little game. I think it was good use to theme. It suits well.
But when I started to play the game I didn't understand what to do. After looking to your gdd I found out "F" key cleaning the places. It could be more clear witch button doing what. Good job.

Thanks for Playing & giving feedback!

Yeah, there were supposed to be prompts that appear on screen which indicate which keys to press, however we had a bit of trouble implementing it at the end. More of a focus on player guidance is something we want to prioritize in the next jam.

hey, for anyone who gives our game a go, thanks truly, means the world to us. Just putting some unfortunate news here for anyone confused with some factors in the game.

The rage metre on the left hand side of the screen is supposed to empty when used (it doesn't)
Their is supposed to be button prompts for how to interact with the messes, apologies but the GDD has all the controls within.

The buttons on the end screens unfortunately do not return you to the menu.

If anyone finds anything else, feel free to drop it in the comments below this one, either way we had a blast making it and would be keen to give it another go for the 15th jam :D
