Ok, I thought it was an artifact (a glitch/badly cropped or in some other way malformed graphic) but it is just a design choice. I would go with a plain background for the progress bar because that thin black line looks like there is something wrong with it: Also when the progress bar fills up the glow is just cut abruptly and that is not how glow behaves. So just a small things basically.

The buildings are rectangular cards that are higher than wider. And they are stacked in a vertical scrolling group. So there is a lot of scrolling up and down which is annoying. I would arrange the buildings at the bottom and make them scroll horizontally (that way you could see way more buildings). Maybe give them separate tabs to eliminate scrolling altogeather. That still leaves plenty of space on the sides for smaller buttons.

It is about using space. You have small clickable elements in a containers that take a lot of space and big clickable elements in a containers that occupy relatively small amount of space. The first bunch leaves a lot of your UI kinda empty while the second one makes it cramped. That is why I think that your game would really benefit from a better arrangement of the UI elements - both visually and in terms of UX.

It is a really good prototype. It is fun and engaging. It blends manual and automated resource generation nicely. It even has a hint of the story. Keep it going. I would polish some of the UI as there are graphical artifacts present. Keeping the buildings as a list is really inconvenient so I would just focus on improving UX. Goodluck!

Hi! Care to add a few screenshots? From the description alone I’m not sure if I’d like to play. Bonus points for a web build. Cheers!

Hi! Really cool game! Stil needs some rebalancing and has a few bugs, but I can really see it as a fun and succesful product! I recorded a playtest if you’d like some more feedback.

Hi! The game looks and plays awesome. I recorded a playthrough and included some feedback. Here’s my playtest:

Hi! The game looks cool and I wanted to give it a try. Unfortunatelly the demo wont work for me (OSX). The system simply states “The application Roadwarden can’t be opened”.

Looks nice. Quite a simple game, so how about a html5 build to be able to play here on itch?

Keep them coming! It’s a great game and I wish you success!

I liked the game so much that I recorded a playthrough with a feedback. Hope you’ll find it helpful. Good luck!

Some things I’ve noticed watching my own video: 1.A deal with a frog could have a more explicit buttons. Not Accept and Continue (they both seem positive but only one makes the deal happen). Instead I would put 2 buttons at the bottom of the screen (one green one red) “Accept” and “Refuse”.

1. Shield tile changes into a normal tile but it makes me forget that I placed it a lot xD Why not leave it in a shape of a shield and add a counter to it? So I know I placed it and I should not expect to draw it? OR let me hover over my inventory so I can see all my tiles so I would know whether or not I have a shield tile coming. (I would add a possibility to preview all my tiles either way ;d)

This is awesome! At first I was like: tic-tac-toe? But you know the outcome when you start… but the disappearing of blocks that deal damage? That’s genius! It changes everything. Then more interesting blocks, just soo good. Not even mentioning the cool texts of the enemies. Polish it up, put it on Steam and Nintendo Switch (no devkit/publisher? DM me), profit. Only one “bug” I found: sliders in the settings are not pixelarty.

The fish got me xD Nice one, I wish it was a little bit longer. It got me curious where it would go as it had some story to tell.

I saw your post on reddit. I’ll point out the obvious things shortly:

• character does not face the direction he is animating (better ditch the anamorphic character and walking animation completely)
• hitboxes seem wrong - I can barely hit a tree or entity
• audio glitches out.

Seems like a first game so it’s good that in such an early stage it has a sound base - it’s playable. And has a good sound design. What it needs is clarification and feedback loop. I get the wood by chopping down trees and I can feed the campfire - why do I have to do it? How do I get meat? Just go in a certain direction with your game and try as much as you can convey it to your player - if they will feel lost, they will quickly lose interest in your game. GL!

macOS Monterey 12.7.2 I checked if it’s on my side, and apparently it is a common issue in Godot if the physics settings are set to use multithreaded physics on HTML builds. That’s at least the most common google solution. It’s the same effect for every single Godot game in submissions.

Unfortunately can’t get anything before it freezes. I checked if it’s on my side, and apparently it is a common issue in Godot if the physics settings are set to use multithreaded physics on HTML builds. That’s at least the most common google solution.

I agree. The time LIMIT killed the fun and connection to the theme ;p

Sadly, as all Godot games here - won’t run, crashes the browser (both chrome and safari).

Won’t start, freezes browser (both chrome and safari).

145m, good one, enjoyable but slightly unfair (some colliders are way too big).

Won’t run for me, crashes the browser (both chrome and safari)

This crashes my browser (tried chrome and safari). Seems others have no issues, dunno.

1290400, very nice concept, although quickly the strategic aspect vanishes. It has a very good performance as for such quickly made game.

Haha! So brilliant gamejam-theme-wise and so bad gameplay-wise (in a good way!) xD

Found a block count, decreased to 1, easy win. I love this entry.

Brilliant idea, design and execution!

And distorted game on 125% scaling

Settings window

When the game is set to exact resolution of the screen (in my case 1920x1080) and application scalling is set to something bigger than 100% the game does not fit the screen. If on top of that, the game is in fullscreen the hitboxes on UI do not work no matter where on the screen you click. Non of other games I own are affected by this.

Repro rate: 100%

Workaround: Go to your desktop. Right click empty space. Select "Display Settings". Change the size from recommended to 100%.

Expected fix: The game should ignore this scaling.

Boy we underestimated the time here. Started really smooth and easy but scripting the events took awful lot of time xD

I've completed the game. Would be more challenging with moving opponents though. But it gave me the creeps so a way to go!

Nice idea. Trains your memory and makes it more engaging than a regular maze.

Thanks! It's from pixabay: "Monsters under my bed"

I wanted to post a comment but @Yagneel gave a perfect summary ;d

Brilliant idea! I wondered how one can make such a simple task interesting, now I know. Great job!

Hi! Thanks I found that exploit too xD
Game gets harder when you reach score of 40 (or 50?). Usually our games were quite hard to grasp so we decided to do some balancing and onboarding this time. That's also probably why we slightly exceeded 3h :( .

Thanks!
Yes, that is something that is lacking in the UX department. We had to hide the color wheel because that would provide a way to cheat (you would easily see the opposite color). But after shooting 20 creatures you get access to full color wheel and you can see how the colors change in each direction.

It says 8 PM UTC, so in 2 hours

390 points!

Nice idea, easy to pick up. Quite challenging. Love the artstyle.

xD That's the thing - there is no "crowd dynamics" (I had only 3 hours!). It just looks like it xD About 25 lines of code (excluding brackets).
