• Idiot Wielder is a game where you control the weapon to protect the wielder, changing forms between melee, ranged, and shield to defeat the enemies. Unfortunately, it seems the controls were not implemented in the game, so it ended up just being a dude running into stuff and reaching the end state of the game. With that in mind, i'll rate primarily on the GDD and what is possible to experience. One of the primary aspects of a good GDD is laying out the vision for the game so the designers can easily refer back to it and adjust as necessary, it's not just a document thats finished at the end as the description of the game but for you to keep things sorted. With that in mind, the GDD could you some work. I would recommend using an online template for the next jam as that will help you make sure some important things like inspirations, timelines, and systems beyond just mechanics are clearly called out and available to you. What is there, however, is great. You've got a good list of mechanics clearly described, and while they don't work in the game at the moment, the intent makes sense for your design. Graphically, the game looked okay with enemies and the player character clearly deliniated. I'm not sure why the score was low definition compared to the rest of the graphics, it seemed very fuzy. Overall, good concept and what was in the game was fun to look at, but getting the core systems working should take priority.
