• The design document is clearly laid out and very detailed. All components of the game theme, inspirations, and mechanics are provided with sample artwork, images, and references to other media used to help envision what is being described. The examination of power and responsibility as components of being a living weapon rather than just focusing on the weapon itself is a unique take on the theme. The only thing I would say is missing from the GDD would be the development timeline. On booting the game the first thing I noticed was the music. It does a great job of framing the game's setting/tone right off the bat at the menu. Definitely makes me think of old school point-and-click adventures. The level design is well done, the way forward is always clear and the set dressing doesn't hide any of the platforms. The game itself is a fun challenge. There's both the challenge of hitting your jumps right as well as the challenge of getting your hands to interact correctly. Pressing the wrong input was pretty funny and the game makes the respawn time extremely short so experimenting is fun rather than a chore. The game is absolutely expandable. There's a little story, but there's nothing that would prevent that from expanding into additional chapters, or adding additional levels, puzzles, or powers to the existing timeline. Solid base for whatever direction you'd like.
