I developing game https://stoarch.itch.io/boomtris test release is here https://stoarch.itch.io/boomtris/download/7Jcp0b4emzeHi8Yoko2cLTvDCEiC9Vlwx_CTOd...
Genre: tower defense + puzzle (composition of towers to large tier and bigger one) (+ visual novel story in future)
Please, give tell me - is this mechanic fun enough (droping towers, composing them to more powerful, calling to support) and which ideas you find more appealing and interesting?
Thank you in advance.
Hey Stoarch,
I just randomly came across your post and figured I'd drop in for some feedback. Keep in mind I only played for about 5 minutes as well as watched your youtube video.
The mechanic, to me, doesn't feel like it gives the user much choice of strategy. I felt like I was simply spawning turrets as much as possible until I died, and I didn't feel like I have much control in the situation. I want to feel like I can make different moves to change the outcome, and I felt like I wasn't able to do so (or at least I wasn't able to catch on to what the intended way to win was in the short time I played).
Hopefully that helps in some way. You've clearly put a lot of effort into it, I like the timing of the music and the battle sequences - it just needs an extra something for the player to feel engaged in the strategy.
I tried to play it but didn't get very far. I have a rather small resolution on the laptop I had access to to try this out, so I had to play it on 800x600 fullscreen (since 1024x768 was too tall).
Anyways, the X coordinate on your button scaling is way off. It's not so bad on the left side of the screen (fullscreen) but the buttons on the right, I had to move my mouse about 100 pixels to the left of the button itself for it to be registered.
