I'm not to sure what to think but I think I liked the game. It was very very short and I think if it were longer and had some more gameplay it could've been better. Still I enjoyed it. 5/5
I made multiple patches since that video, you played a version that made me rage as well, it's so much easier now though. I'd also love to remake the game but I should probably move on now I have done the quick patches and try something new😅 Thanks for playing it tho!
I'm super happy you enjoyed it! Hopefully as I improve I learn to make more fun and balanced gameplay to future games so they feel challenging but not frustrating. Thanks for the feedback and playing:)
For your first game, it's pretty good and the environment and sound design are great. Just some general feedback and bugs I found:
- The AI gets stuck a lot so disabling some collisions for him could help.
- The sounds in the game are great but it does feel a bit janky, like the footsteps have a small delay before you hear the sound, and if you stop moving the audio cuts off.
- I think the monster audio should fade in and get louder as you get closer so it shows how near he is, also the audio is generally just super loud.
- When I died and returned to the menu my mouse was gone and I had to leave the game.
- A pause menu would be nice
-The instructions at the start were messy and disappeared before I could read it all, so I didn't know what I was doing for the first 10 minutes.
- The aspect ratio is a bit weird but that could just be me tbh.
-Every room and tunnel feels the same and it's easy to get lost. Perhaps adding some easy-to-memorise sort of scenery or even a map UI would be helpful.
That's all I could get from playing 15 mins of your game but it's a great start for your bright game dev journey. Also if I were you I would port this to mobile, it feels like it could work for this particular gameplay. Also maybe add a splash screen, it would be nice for you to credit yourself as a game dev.
I like the premise of the game. But it doesn't feel like a game, with no objective or ending or anything. Maybe keep learning and mastering skills and remake this in the future. But the basics are there so good job.
