Mayor On The run
by SeaPhoenix
Hey there SeaPhoenix, thanks for submitting a project to the 2022 IGMC. I'm Drifty and I was asked to judge your game in round four of the IGMC 2022 game jam. Here's some feedback about your project.
The title screen music that you've picked is very pleasant and inviting.
I really like the zoomed out look of the maps. Good resolution choice for this.
I really like the mechanics in this game and I especially appreciate how you respect the player's time with the menus. The carpenter and painter have the preferences saved from your diary and it makes it super easy to upgrade peoples' houses. Good call.
I love the idea of this type of game and it was honestly a breath of fresh air. It's super fun seeing your town progress each day and there's plenty of room for replay-ability.
I ended up getting arrested after the first week and I'm pretty sure that's the bad ending. I'm curious to see how many endings there are. I probably wasted a couple days not knowing I had to pay the carpenter to build new houses. Maybe add in some analytics or stats that show after the game ends to give the player an idea of what they did or did not do, or even which ending they got, of how many endings there are, etc.
I wish the game was longer, but I understand the limitations of a game jam. That being said, I had a blast and really enjoyed this entry. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing the next thing you put out.
