Loved:
- Style of the game. It is much different than the rest of the entries, and in a good way.
- Bidding mechanic. Very cool (coming from the economic geek in me, but still true).
- Story/tutorial screens. This is probably the best tutorial/walkthrough of how to play in the whole jam.
Consider:
- The theme was a little lost with the mechanics of the game, but the tutorial tied it in. Not a show-stopper, just something to consider.
- The AI seems easy to outsmart. I did a few quick bids in the top part of the room and wandered to the left afterward. When I realized that the AI would follow me after a while, I stayed in the bottom of the room to keep the bidders from bidding on my yellow bids. Is this behavior intended? If so, play into this, but play on the fact that certain bidders to certain things. If done right, this mechanic would add a lot of strategy to the game (it made me feel smart to outsmart them).
- Put a guide to what bids beat what in the gameplay screen. It is a little hard to remember what bids beat what at times, and I had to start the game again by refreshing my browser to ensure that I knew what bids beat what.
- Is there a way to go from the results screen to the beginning screen.
Although this game has not been rated much yet, I think this is one of the most unique and interesting games in the jam. Maybe more levels and features in the future?
