This was for the "My First Game Jam: Winter 2023" I was given 2 weeks to plan and come up with a game, It's my first time doing it, and It was pretty fun too! and I wanted to try something new instead of just making projects that take months and abandon them.
Please read all of it, you actually don't have to read the information just the feedback and I need help on section.
Game Title/URL: https://foxabloom.itch.io/bark
Pitch/Information:
Bark is a 2d Puzzle Platformer, You mostly live out your life as a cut-down tree stump. Your home is invaded by Invasious species that are tearing down plants and trees alike and need your help to regrow them back into bigger and better plants. Find the Required things that are needed to grow plants like Fertilizer, Enough water, and... Accelerant? Watch out for the bugs they don't like being disturbed that much, but go as you like! Either by moving around them or trying to defeat them.
Navigate a large level to try and find the Required materials to grow your plant. It will grow as you collect them. Unless you're trying to water it of course. Once you complete growing the plant, Jump up and reach the goal!
I'd like feedback on: Hey guys I need some constructive criticism for my game, It's my first time doing a game jam, but isn't really my first time making a game, I do 3D games since I know how to 3D model but I decided to try and expand my capabilities. I've also been trying to make simple puzzles since I'm pretty bad at making them. I've just wanted to improve, and this game jam has gotten me to improve quite a lot in time management because I'm kinda tired of adding so much stuff to a list that I never get it done. I'm glad to finally publish something. But it has come up with some flaws. It hasn't had enough time to bake. So I just need some feedback on the gameplay Since I was trying to be a bit unique and not make it a traditional platformer. When you're finished can you comment on the Itch io page and Rate it if you can? It's better for me to just see it in the comments on the itch page. If you don't like the game, Don't just say the game is bad, or really vague terms. And if you have something that's good about it, please provide what made the game good or what mechanic was good, don't make it vague. Thanks to whoever tests it.
I need help on: Perfectionism, Its why i chose to do this jam and to actually work under pressure and to try and meet a deadline while trying to make a game good. Its my first game jam and had fun. But I dont usually get feedback from anyone even when I used to actually complete games. I just never publish them until now. It's why i need help getting feedback. Constructive feedback.
