The idea is really good, but the game need a bit more work before it will be super fun to play. The voice over was really good and interesting.
Thanks! It was the best I could do in the week I gave myself! I learned a lot of things I could've done different.
I really like the idea for this game, activating traps in the right moment, and every single one of them is unique, but I have felt some problems like waiting for the target is a little bit too slow, and some traps dont have a clear timer to show when they will activate after the button is pressed, all this things demotivated me to try again after I died on the 3/4 level, maybe the game could flow better if it had checkpoints, or the paths to the buttons were smaller or/and the player could teleport to them.
But overall I really liked the concept, if patched it could be a very little fun game!
yeah, I don't think I executed it to the best of my abilities but I'll definitely keep all the little things that could've made it a better experience for the user into account for my next game jam. Thanks for taking your time to play :)
The game reminded me of Orcs Must Die (with the traps and the tower-defense-like aspect), while the color scheme reminded me of Inside.
Camera can be a pretty hard thing to get right, but I found that Cinemachine can be pretty useful for that. It's pretty difficult to grasp Cinemachine at first, but there's a bunch of tutorials/guides to ease the process.
I'm also always wary about putting your instructions or critical gameplay aspect only within the game audio (and not having some kind of textual counterpart). This can end up providing a very different gameplay experience for hard-of-hearing/deaf players or players with limited listening proficiency in English. I also couldn't replay the tutorial, because it was skipped on subsequent playthroughs. The sound design was cool, though!
I also found it difficult to press the 'Start' button in the main menu (not sure if this was a pun with the title of the game lol).
I found it really hard to time the buttons correctly. Not sure if some traps like the boulder has a different delay from the other ones? It also took me quite a bit of time to get from one button to another. I'm always a fan of "fun" movement regardless of the rest of the gameplay (games like Spiritfarer and Night in the Woods feature "fun" movement techniques that players can enjoy amidst the rest of the game).
Also not sure how I felt when the game told me to "Get a life nerd" lol
thanks for the detailed review! I didn't actually think of the whole instructions only being in the audio part, I think I would've added subtitles if I had more time since I started the jam halfway through, and I've been hearing of cinemachine here and there but I've never looked into it so I'll have a look. The timing was explained in the tutorial as far as I remember. It basically said it ranges form 3-5 seconds, and yeah that's where I should've added difficulty options, I probably played through the level 50 times so I had no right making it that difficult. Anyways thanks for taking your time to try my game :)
Getting the timing right is very difficult without a lot of practice. Difficulty is just set for the play tester of the game not a new one.
I agree with this, I didn't have time to add difficulties, and I don't have time at the moment to add it because of my other projects, thanks for the review :)
thit game reminded me of Wile E. Coyote, activate traps (created by acme) to fail miserably to catch your enemy. I only hit with the TNT and the giant wall :'(
i expected more unexpected traps,
good job
Thinking of traps was the hardest part tbh xD Thanks for the feedback :))
A game about buttons? Count me in!
The idea is awesome! Reminds me of those Counter-Strike maps I used to play as a kid. It’s cool that you managed to make the game look good without any models! I also liked the voice acting and music.
I feel like this game is a bit too slow. And for some buttons you don’t know in advance the time it will take for the trap to trigger, so you just have to guess. But otherwise a great game!
Thanks :) I might actually fix that when I have time later, because I also think it's really slow at time and a bit unpredictable. Not everyone is gonna take time to learn the trigger intervals xD
I liked the kind of psychological aspect
Didn't realize I hit that genre lmao
Thanks man :) The camera movement was my favourite part to make!
