Judge feedback

  • I like the clever combination of a platformer where you’re only allowed to move via the recoil of gun you wield. Nice and simple design making it easy to know where to go and challenging enough to be entertaining without being overly frustrating. The control was intuitive and natural to time, and I had fun just juggling myself in the air before touching the ground. Moving over to the Game Design Document, the layout was organized, making everything easy to find, though I found one thing lacking. The Development Timeline section could use a little more information. If the entire section is “Make Game,” there really isn’t a point to it, is there. Art, level design, coding specific sections, and making the GDD itself could all be additions to what is already there. Adding on to that, where the game goes from here, as the title of that section hints to (minimum viable product), where does this project go from here? What are some of the next steps that you are going to take to improve it? More levels? Enemies that you have to dodge or shoot? Gravity manipulation? All in all, good start!!

Summarise your game!
Tappy Gun is a puzzle game where you play as a shotgun dragging your blue buddy along. The shotgun slowly rotates which lets the player time when they want to shoot. When you shoot, you go flying in the other direction via recoil. You must use this mechanic to get your way through different puzzles.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You play as a rotating shotgun, which fits the theme of you being the weapon. You can launch yourself (and your blue buddy) through the puzzles.

Nice fun little game, could not beat 9,11, or 12. I probably could with more attempts, but it's kind of a ragey game so. lol. Add some music! Sprites are pretty simple and work. I think if you continue the game, and add level restrictions, you should make a level skip or something.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I may have made those last few levels a bit hard, I did end up nerfing them after i submitted my game. And yeah since it's so ragey I think adding a level skip would be a good idea. Thanks for your comment!
