Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Good music choices help keep the gameplay light and engaging. The control mechanics are somewhat clunky, and it's not immediately clear that green= "actively controlling a turtle" versus blue = "turtle go staight".
  • RTS micro of turtles is surprisingly fun! Character art is great, and I like the way the waves look as well Music is good, and the walking sounds are appropriate to the game’s style Good choice of wave ambience I wish there was something that made it more easy to predict when the crabs would turn. The way it is now, it feels more like I'm relying on luck than strategy Maybe the bird shadow could grow large when it is getting close? Like it’s coming down to a lower altitude Selecting/deselecting turtles is confusing. You can draw a box to select a different turtle, but that click/drag doesn’t deselect the previous turtle. The “success” and “fail” sounds at the end of a level should be different The mix is really quiet, the whole game needs to be made louder - except the bird, that’s loud enough already
