This was a great game and gave me a good chuckle. It was a blast to play through this, and it was great how you were able to describe some (questionable) threads so well in it! The papers please part of it I thought was interesting, but I really enjoyed the start of it with the threads and forum stuff the most, it was funny as hell! 👍
This game rocks, the best score I was able to get was a ~78. The art style and aesthetic of the game is very good and so is the music. The only thing I can say isn’t so good is that it’s a bit difficult to get your bearing and figure out what’s going on. For example I wasn’t really sure how a load balancer worked as it has the symbol for increasing electricity but says it doesn’t generate power. The venting minigame is also pretty good, though I feel I may have misunderstood it a bit too. Clicking the feds generates power too? Or was it clicking anything?
I think the game as a concept has a lot of potential if it was better explained how things work in it.
Awesome game, very nice art. The basement dweller puzzle was a real head scratcher, but really enjoyed the puzzles. Moving the blocks generally feels really great and cool, but often behaves a bit weirdly and is difficult to move properly. Feels like the core mechanic has a lot of potential to be expanded upon too. Sometimes the level geometry behaved a bit weird with the scaling brush too, but probably just some bugs there
Fantastic use of the 20 theme. Only really 2 criticisms I can make, the objective for the game doesn't feel like it's fully tutorialised. At first I was just nuking literally everyone I could see hahah(but then I made sense of what I was meant to do in the 2nd playthrough)! 2nd criticism is on the controls feeling a bit difficult to use, it might've worked better using the scroll wheel for example(though I think the controls being difficult might add to the tension haha)?
Overall, I thought this was a pretty fun game to play!
Quite a fun and innovative game, Personally some bugs/minor issues. If you aim down, sometimes(inconsistent) the rocket will explode and other times it won't, meaning rocket jumping is a bit difficult. Movement in the air and ground feels relatively tight and strong. When you go outside, the light makes seeing some things very difficult. One example is the circular staircase. I didn't realise it was there 'til the eyeballs killed me xD
I did find the level design to be quite intuitive and interesting however. The tutorial at the start showing the player how to play rather than directly teaching them was very interesting, Though I still had to check the controls to know that you could explode rockets or pause them or slow them. Also I was able to go through most of the game avoiding the enemies and mainly rocket jumping. I think the rocket jumping mechanic could make for a superb 3-D airy/movement based game.
Overall, I have to say this was quite a well made and well executed idea.
Quite a fun game, but I feel that when you attack the enemies, the hits don't feel that strong. They feel much lighter than what I'd imagine they should be like. The interactions between the fire and ice are actually quite cool and well thought out as a lot was done with those 2 ideas. The game's style and aesthetic is quite impressive for a short time period. Overall, I really liked this game, Good work!
The controls on a keyboard feels cluttered. I understand that it was designed to be played on Controller but I'm a keyboard cat. I found myself mistaking the E to be Shift and vice versa. The input also feels slightly delayed, which might be due to the slight hit delay or the time length of the attacks. I also found myself not using the target reticule at times due to the difficulty in using it in the middle of a fight.
What I absolutely do love is the amount of polish the different aspects of the game recieve. The art style perfectly aligns with the dream-scape the game intends to deliver. The fights were well paced requiring knowledge of the enemies. Overall this is an excellent game for its position as in an Alpha state. If you continue to work on this following the tight control scheme and excellent combat that is reminiscent of Dark Souls I can see this becoming a fan favorite of those liking Dark Souls.
