• When I was a kid, I remember playing with Tops, which turned into Beyblades among other things. This brought me back to my childhood. The aesthetic was also reminiscent of PS1 era gaming, which hit home for me. The controls were “Easy to learn, Hard to Master,” and it felt good when you came up with a good setup (RNGesus willing) that could take on the competition. Though it was equally annoying when one of the enemies made me drive over the wall of the arena and die… sad life. With the limited time I had available, I didn’t make it to the king at the end, though I got through the one-on-ones to get to the three-on-one on my final attempt… and was yeeted over said wall, but it was fun getting to that point. I do wish there were more opening customization options, or at least a skirmish mode to test out combinations of attachments, or a way to flip your car back over (as an attachment given up front, possible costing a slot per direction, or otherwise as basekit). Moving on to the Game Design Document, most of what I look for was there, except for the development timeline. The development timeline is important for a few reasons: (1) it gives a check for progression, being able to not when things get done and having a clear view of the steps required for the goal, (2) it gives a sense of dependency/importance as certain items will need to be completed before others (i.e. don’t just put the final day as the finish date for every item), and (3) it shows what extra items can be accomplished if there is time, or what things can be left for the next build if you are running behind. All in all, great work!
