Game Title/URL: Darkest Maze

Pitch/Information: Darkest Maze is a short game in which you control a little fire friend in the Darkest Maze, there are different levels in which you have to find the keys to continue.

I'd like feedback on: anything, It is my first project and any opinion will help me!

Hi estebesz,

I played Darkest Maze, so here's some feedback for you:

  •  I love the main character sprite, it's very cute!
  • The sound effect beep upon choosing a level etc. seemed to be a bit too loud
  • The fire crackle in the background gives a nice soothing quality to the game
  • With that said, I think a little music (probably something quite simple and understated) could help to enhance the experience
  • I couldn't quite figure out why I was dying on one of the later levels—the death tile looked the same as the other ones, as far as I could tell. Was I just missing something obvious?

Hope this helps!

thanks for your feedback!  It's true about the beep, I realized and lowered it but clearly it was not enough, with the music, I wanted to make the game solo(without assets) and since I am not capable of composing something I decided to use the fire effect, and yes  with the palette I had problems, it is my first time with pixelart and I made some bad decisions. again thank you very much, I will take it into account for future projects.

We didn't have a team member who could do music either, but thankfully, there's some decent royalty free tracks up online. I'd recommend Incompetech as a first port of call, though we used PeriTune for our project. The latter's site is all in Japanese, though, so you might need Google Translate handy to navigate >.>'
