Definitely think this is a fun little arcade game. I think overall the game could easily be expanded with more levels and maybe even more goals and quests to achieve.
Suggestions/Criticism:
- Collecting the chess pieces in order feels a little confusing and I would feel that it would be better if the player could collect them in any order. But I do like the challenge of collecting them in order. Maybe there could be a clearer way to tell what order to collect. For example the piece could flash to know what would be collected next.
- I feel that evading death can sometimes be too easy when you aren’t collecting anything. I was able to continuously juke Death around a building by just circling the building and changing direction when I noticed Death was coming towards me.
- I wonder if there could be a hard game mode where the player has a limited field of view making it so that the player couldn’t see a certain distance from them. This could definitely make the game more challenging.
Overall great work and I can’t wait to maybe play some more!!
Edit: Could also be interesting to have a game mode where the player is continuously walking in one direction and isn’t able to stop. Kinda like in snake
