Submitted

Hey, Great work! I had a great time playing this game!

I loved the little scientist guy and really think y'all managed to pack in a good amount of stuff given the time frame :)
It took a bit to get used to throwing and catching the boomerang but once I got it the mechanic was pretty fun! The boomerang jump took a bit of finessing but I figured it out in the end :)
Some of the enemies felt a bit tough to manage with just a single boomerang (specifically the fly) maybe you could add some knockback? My boomerang kept dragging them straight to me!


Overall,  great job and  I hope you had a bunch of fun making it!

I need help on: I can't seem to work out the bug where sometimes the main character dies more than once on blades.

Game Title/URL: https://saitointeractive.itch.io/kingdom-grow

Pitch/Information: A chill tile-based city builder type game where you grow your town by earning gold, feeding your workers and buying cards which are used to place building tiles. This is only a prototype and doesn't have any goals or fail states, you can just keep growing your town up to the 50x50 grid limits.

I'd like feedback on: Mainly if the idea itself is interesting and if I should continue development on it. I'd like to add quests and actual challenges (reach X population, etc) to make it an actual game. With that would come making tons of new building/tile types and card types. Was to upgrade buildings, cosmetic item cards to make your city more personal, and for the map to have a play in the game (water you cant build on, tiles that provide bonuses when build on, etc).

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? I don't go on discord often so, It's better for me to just see it in the comments. 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.
