How does your game fit the theme?
Every ingame day, the world inside of the door gets randomised, including the ore spawns, tree spawns and plant spawns, so the player's run relies on what's behind the door.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes

I'm going to be talking a lot about the graphics because I really enjoy them! I love the simplicity, but it also works for how much interaction can be done with all of the world. The highlight of the graphics, in my opinion, is definitely the door itself and the transition of going from one world to the other. NGL I spent a good amount of in game time just going back and forth haha. The tutorial really helps you understand what controls are bound to what and overall I love the concept of resource gathering to defend later on! Really great game!!!

Mem JamLove the world changing mechanics where you'd pass from on world to another through the door! mining and craft fun can never grow old. Good job!

Magical Tower Of DoorsAn interesting idea, the game was delayed, the soundtrack is good, pixel art will go, thanks for the tutorial, otherwise I didn't understand anything without it, good job!

Guess what's behind Gimpley's doorGreat idea for a game! Nicely executed. I think I agree with most of the other commenters on feedback and criticism.
I just wanted to add I loved the music!!!
Cheers, Good luck with the jam.

Where's the Door?Great work, there’s a lot of possibilities packed into this game in form of base building, but I think it would have been nice if you simplified the gameplay loop and polished some of the player interactions.
Some notes I took:
-
The materials were very far apart, which makes the player prioritize but it means the player doesn’t immediately know which resources there are without loosing time to look at the crafting recipes. I didn’t want to waste time so I went to look for materials and did not notice there was trees until my pickaxe broke and I needed wood to repair it. I had to wait for the next day. Automatic repair at day change was a life saver!
-
The UI could use a bit of polish, since scrolling with the wheel is very slow and some interactions were a bit awkward, but overall it does the job.
-
The base build is a great mechanic, but the starting progression is a bit complicated.
It had a big scope for a week-long game jam, but it definitely shows a great base to keep building on!

Crystal GatewayThe game had a very large scope but it was executed very nicely which is impressive for a 1 week gamejam, I was a little confused at first but the tutorial was very nice!

The Figure LurksThere's a lot to this game, which is really great for a week's development. Nice work!

What's Behind The Door?Quite a big scope for a gamejam game, but well done. The tutorial was very helpful because otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do :D

Dungeon of DoorsA nice survival game. There's a good amount of thought and effort put into this actually. There's a nice crafting and building system.

What's Behind The Door?Really complicated, but cool that you managed to add this many things on a week game jam. Some polishing and simplifying gameplay can make this an interesting game

DARO - PuzzlesThe door transition was very cool. Although a bit annoying a night, one fix would be to disable the door at night.
This is good foundation that you can build more onto. I was very impressed with the scale of the crafting system

Swift EscapeI'm also in the jam, and I know with more time everyone has a list of things they'd like to add or wanted to add. I try to provide the listed feedback in a constructive form to highlight different perspectives as a player and to show that I indeed did play the game.
- So much added in a week here. I don't know if the inventory system came from a pre-built library/plugin system, but wow a lot added for a week jam.
- The initial day takes too long to complete the game loop and provide feedback to the player. It is a lot of time commitment to know if I would like the game.
- While there is a tutorial, I didn't play it. It took me a bit to figure out how to interact with the game.
- The switching between worlds transition was very awkward sometimes I could end up in the same world without going to the other one.
- I would reduce scope to spend more time on polish

Reveal & ChooseInteresting game! A little polishing and it'll be a huge game with huge gameplay! Great job!
