Winds of Change's itch.io pageJudge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- A cozy endless runner that needs a few more ideas to change for the better. While the theme interpretation is interesting it misses the game misses the mark in some regards. The main loop of being in front of the camera doesn't have a notable confirmation of success other than the colors slowly coming back in the background, a score or reach indicator could help define progress in a more readable form. The GDD also list that their is a games option and pause but their was none in the actual game controls. The music was catchy and reminds me of older sitcom tunes. The GDD was simple but had some inconsistencies between controls listed. A in-game prompt or tutorial could help alleviate this. Overall good stuff keep up the good work.

Summarise your game!
Winds of Change is an endless runner where the player is a flyer of revolutionary ideas who must utilize the winds to position themselves in front of cameras to spread their reach while avoiding hazards that will stop their movement.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Historically the most dangerous weapon known to humanity is the ability to transmit new ideas to those around them. As governments around the world continue to censor and restrict ideas for their citizens, many are forced to conform to expected ways of living. You are a weapon of change. As your reach grows so too does the powers of those around you. Life is better as one lives their life full of color.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Please enjoy the Free Printable Post. It is always nice to allow players physical items to remember their playthroughs by.

The game has a cool visual style and great music, which create an engaging atmosphere. However, it lacks a proper tutorial, making it unclear what exactly the player is supposed to do. Some guidance or introductory hints would greatly improve the experience.
Hello Cringemand, Thank you for playing our game! I agree. A tutorial would greatly improve the player experience. Due to limitations in time and resources, we were unable to add a tutorial to the submission. The team and I have discussed features we would like to add should we update the game after judging has finished. We have the tutorial at the top of our list. Thank you for playing Winds of Change. We hope you also enjoy the rest of the Game Jam's submissions!
