I'm not really opposed to it? But there's just no way for the community to play it in a way that would make it eligible for voting. Does that make sense? I'd say, if you wanna use us as your deadline, go for it! But don't be like super surprised if don't get many votes just because there really isn't a way to do so.
Wow, I am super impressed with this one. Every mechanic was picked very well and unnecessary ones were left out to great effect. The walkspeed of the player-character feels labored and slow to a great effect, and the mallet swings are chunky and feel incredible. I think you could go in so many different directions with this and have a legit salable game. I'm just thinking of all the potential enemies, a boss fight with a giant Angler Fish? You see its head light before you see the teeth? There's something here.
Great feedback! Right now I'm thinking if we more clearly distinguish some things, like where the player is on the map, what biome they are in, etc. We could help resolve some of the problems. Also, I'm thinking a "confirm" button for text might help people read it. Because even when I played, I kept finding myself just moving through the game and forgetting to glance over at the text box.
The judges only speak english, but perhaps you could make the game in your chosen language, and then make a youtube video with an English translation or something. We wouldn't want to restrict language, but unfortunately we can only speak it haha. Sorry!
