Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • The game has the foundation for a good game but lacks any depth to it. Animations and a simple background could've bumped up the game a lot. I can see this game being fun but it gets quite stale with nothing really happening visually
  • I given this a middle of the pack rating because although there are aspects of a game here i dont feel like it should be considered alongside the other top submissions. The music is good and the gameplay is simple yet cleaar, the companion is there and i guess the rivalry is the bats vs the bears. It could use some sound effects, animations and background to tie everything together into a game. Not a bad start, could use some more work though.

Tell us about your game!
The bears have wandered into a cave full of bats! Protect your companion by clicking on the bats to hit them with your bat!

Hey!

How are you? It's Ilias again. I have some new questions for you.

What do you think about game jams in general, and this game jam in particular? What do you think could have been better, and do you have any suggestions?

What were your favorite video games?

Where do you think the strength of video games resides? What do you believe a video game should have to be a successful video game?

If you would like, you can tell me a little bit more about yourself and your background, if you have any information you would like to share.

Thank you in advance,

Ilias.

Hey PandaPaws!

How are you? My name is Ilias.

I tested your game "Bat Bat Bear."

Point-and-click games, if properly made, can be pleasant, challenging, and fun experiences. Sometimes, with simplicity, we can achieve good results. 

---------------------

I guess your game is a point-and-click one, right?

I would have suggested adding difficulty increasing, but I noticed you included that allready.

---------------------

Questions:

Did you include any optimization techniques, or did you choose to include only the in-engine ones?

What engine and tools did you use to create your game, including the graphics?

Was it hard to develop your game? Did you experience any challenges?

What inspired you for your game idea and the gameplay? Could you share the story behind the game's name?

How did you get into video game making?

---------------------

N.B: It would mean a great deal to me if you could rate my game. If you haven't already, feedback from friends and fellow gamers is valuable to me. Thank you in advance for your consideration and your time.

Thanks! -Ilias.

Score : 235

I really liked the soundtrack. The gradual acceleration of the game adds further pleasure to the game.Good Job!

This was surprisingly addictive. Kill FX & 'Juice' would add significantly to the addictive factor. Great little entry.

Also - This is a great 'cat' game - there are apps/games that have bugs crawl around & you give it to your cat & they play it. There are tons of videos online. This could be one of those - you should definitely release it on mobile/tablets with some changes & target it towards cat owners!

Would be nice to see more content here, but these bears are extremely cute!

Score: 101

Soundtrack was nice, gameplay extremely simple, but did the trick. The Theme was a bit harder to recognize, but sharing my score will hopefully help :)

I agree with other replies, the soundtrack was the best part!

Submitted

If you wrote the soundtrack yourself, then I'm ready to tell you that it's a masterpiece

Simple and effective! Maybe a small animation of the attack itself could be nice to add, and you could also add some movement, to dodge the bats, but in this case you miht want to zoom out a bit to give more space to the player. keep up the good work!

The straightforward gameplay makes it very easy to jump in and play, i think with a bit of sprite animation and more variety in enemies this could be a fun game for the right audience :)
