Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • So this game is fairly basic, and the gameplay is not self-evident, like there are event potion things but they don't seem to do anything. I would probably add a guided tutorial in the future so your players can understand your mechanics better, but I do see the vision you had for your game and its not bad!
  • GDD Nice pace of the document. Nice description of the game mechanics. Game Not sure if I like it. It remind me of minesweeper and there are no game loop. But I can see how "shadows" are used here and how potions (alchemy) are used.

Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?

Extra Notes
thank you for looking at my game, it is still in early stages but I plan on working more on the game whatever the result of the jam :)

There is not really much here to give feedback on, though it is a good start to make something nice from.

Maybe a good idea, if you want to make a story, to make paths instead of a grid, where people can choose the next tile but have to choose one of multiple tiles at intersections.
