Pros:
- Very simple gameplay.
- Easy to understand
Cons:
- Crashing if just pressing ESCAPE, getting to the 3rd level and that's just from one playthrough. With 7 days level, this really should be happening
- Stretched assets. Very bad looking, You can fix this if you just make smaller cubes so textures aren't stretched.
- Better level design. I speedran level 1 and 2 in 2 minutes, and that include restarting twice cause of crashes.
- No main menu..... I spent about 5 minutes looking at a rotation cube and crashing a few times pressing ESCAPE. And when I figured out I had to press SPACE I had to read a hell lot of grammatically incorrect lore that had NOTHING to do with the game.
- Too many free assets. The enemy had nothing to do with the theme, the door is a sci-fi high-quality door in your stretched low-quality texture world. Don't really fit
Final words:
With this being made in only 7 days it's fine for a beginner (I guess you are). It's a clear concept which is very nice. Now you have 14 days, so you are expected to use all of them. So having a lot of crashes and bad level design really isn't anything you can blame on time pressure but on you being lazy. Also, I understand as a beginner you do use a lot of assets, but when you use them at least make them look like they match instead of these half-ass stretched pixel art wall textures mixed with high-quality zombie. I think you made an okay game, but you could have made it way better if you just spent a bit more time on it.
I bought the package here are my thoughts.
Pros:
- Very clean look and feel
- Multiple button versions. (Normal, Hovered, Pressed, etc)
- A lot of UI included. (Searchbar, buttons, buttons, toggle, and more)
- A lot of opportunities with this UI.
Cons:
- Tbh only one con but it's a major one. The UI types aren't separated. It's in a single image. Don't get me wrong the categories are separated, so buttons are one image and input fields are one, but the smaller separate so like Normal button, Hovered, Pressed is in one image so you have to crop it with photo and save it as a copy for each wich kinda sucks.
Overall thoughts:
The UI is perfect if you are going for a clean and clear look. If you don't mind taking the time to crop the images so you have the stuff a single image if you can't crop it in your editor or what you are using it for it's perfect. It's clean, simple, and perfect for my needs. Would highly recommend it.
Hi so i just thought i wanted to give a update on what i got so far.
Today i got the basic game mechanics done, such as the puzzle stuff that i can use to make puzzles in my levels. A Main menu and a few levels.
Tomorrow will be about creating some more levels. I got a really good start so far if i should say myself. I dint think i would put this much effort into a small game-jam like this, but im really enjoying it.
Again thanks for hosting the jam, and goodluck with your games <3
