Well done, this was really well made! Easy to understand premise, but had a lot of strategy, and you were able to dissuade people from just spam-clicking the button to win by making that not the most successful method of play. The game looks great, and plus I'm just a sucker for fireworks.
Only nitpick is that there should be an option to quit the game in-game once the player is done playing, since I had to press the window's key in order to get out. But this was well done overall.
The first iteration of the game loop used a budget management system, fireworks had a cost and that was used to prevent spamming. The thing was, when players didn't spam and lost the game in 3 seconds, they kept looking at the budget indicator instead of enjoying the show. Eventually it evolved into this system, that also resembles the structure of a real fireworks show leaving some breathing room for the audience to react.
I'll be more thoughtful of the UI the next time. Thanks for the feedback!
You did an amazing job. The fireworks are beautiful and the sfx make them even more realistic.
You also managed to design a good progression system, and that was not easy with all the limitations of this jam. 10/10
Really satisfying and beautiful to look at. I really like the levelling system and variety of fireworks. Two things I'd mention - maybe a quit button on the main menu because it's a bit difficult to get out! Also more indication of when you'd get the maximum cheer as to me at least I wasn't sure whether the full heart would be enough or I should carry on going. But those are very minor things, it's a really solid game!
Really cool game dude. I love how that fireworks looks, and its fascinating to play and unlock the last fireworks.
A really cool mechanic, so many bright colors, nice effects, a clear goal that rewards us whit a lot of greets and happy people, and the fact that you cant see the terrain makes it more "intimate" I think, I just really enjoyed the experience, well done!
Love love LOVE the visuals and sfx. The fireworks are really nice to look at and it's very relaxing. On the other note, it might be my computer but the game gets laggy from time to time. On the other other note, this was really fun.
Really Cool!! Love the concept and the visuals that accompany it are beautiful. Thanks for making and releasing this!
