Thank you for taking the time to write your thoughts and feedback!! It's always a pleasure for me to receive and read a comment like this one!! Thank you!! (^u^)
I fully understand why you felt the way that you did!! Many things are missing from this game to make it playable (a proper tutorial is just one of them) and for that reason the game feels confusing as it feels!! I think that you shouldn't feel like an idiot imo because that's just my fault for not explaining well enough how to play, definitely not yours for not being good: nobody is good if they don't know the rules.
Yeah, i had many plans for this game but between that there was somewhat of a time constraints, a poor planning, a lack in motivation (because game dev wasn't going as smoothly as i wanted to be) and an overall big scope, (and maybe other factors that atm I'm ignoring) the game turned out like it did. I'll try to scope better and make a better game next time :/
I didn't know before that game, but I've gotta say i can see the resemblance from the two. I don't think I'll continue working on this game after the game (most of my games ends up like they entered the jam, at least), but if I'll ver decide to continue working on the game I'd love to learn and make some pixel art for it!!
Yeah, i was pretty surprised too about the kindness and support of the comments that this game received. I'm usually pretty negative when it comes to my games and this one was no exception, so i wasn't really expecting this much from the comments... I'm just happy i was proven wrong!! =D
Again, Thank you for playing my game, Thank you for the comment and Thank you for the nice words!! Playing your game it's the least i can do to to show my gratitude!! (^u^)
