Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • A fun sandbox type game. I really like how the randomness forces you to experiment with new tools instead of relying on the same ones over and over again. But I also think that randomizing the tools every time isn’t as satisfying as figuring out how to beat a level with the same tools over multiple tries. But overall, I really like the concept, and the execution was great. Nice work!
  • Cute little guys!! I love the reset effect and the use of color, great way to fight fatigue especially in a puzzle game. Lots of variety with mechanics, though it would have been nice to have time to familiarize yourself with tools before they changed nearly every level! Felt like I couldn't work towards mastery, though I see the goal is to experiment =) Fun time
  • Cool concept, but can be confusing to be pick up and get used to.

How does the game fit into the theme?
This game fits the theme in 2 ways:
1. Your lil goons keep moving forward even when you least want them to (into a pit of spikes)
2. It is a fail forward game. Each retry randomises your items so you can try again with a different approach.

What premade assets did you use if any?

Hi, I'm hedge one of your judges! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in at 4:56:00 <3 (Part 2)

When I read that first sentence, I know this is gonna be fun. And it is!

Exellent job on graphics and VFX, pleasant to look at. The music however, does not match the humorous gameplay. It sounds serious and mysterious. Maybe it is fine in preparation phase, and then on releasing the gooners the music is replaced with a cartoonish, funny, or funky vibe music.

The game is polished nicely and has potential. Well done!

I'm absolutely in love with how the game looks!

Bro, this is very cool, I had to think about how to solve the 0_0 level.

Submitted

Really interesting stuff here, would be cool to see this stuff used in a full game!

I love the "EXPERIMENT" side of this game (bc I am a huge fan of experimental games). Spent a lot of time just trying out ridiculous ideas and enjoyed it so much. The control and UI was simple and intuitive!! Great work 

Developer

I'm honoured you played my game, yours was great! Glad you enjoyed! And yea the ridiculous plans are always the funniest to watch playout (and often fail horribly) xD

Submitted

This was fun! More playground than game, kind of makes me think of a Lemmings “free play” mode. Good times!

Submitted

good world build!

This is a great game, it really reminds me of mosa lina, but having to imagine and plan a route for the lil goons is a completely different challenge. Great work !

Submitted

This is a great little puzzler, each mechanic is fun to mess around with and learn, and randomizing them for each room is a great way to add replayability.

Chaotic indeed! Take the time to figure out what each element does and see them all fly. Silly little things. Music was just right, gameplay was smooth as well. The game has a lot of potential imo!

You made this masterpiece...by yourself?...you're too powerful to be kept alive.

I'm a big fan of games with these kinds of emergent behaviours (Mosa, Bopl, Mortol) and I can definitely see the inspiration, hahah

I really like what you've done with this game and its cool to see how you've used the Mosa Lina formula and made it into something unique!

Developer

I love the emergent behaviour stuff too, glad you enjoyed! Also I appreciate the reccomendations (I've heard of but not played Mosa but defs not the other 2) :))

Super creative game! I had lots of fun playiing this. I knew Mosa Lina from a stream I watched a few months back, it seemed a great game that I ended up never picking up.

Music/SFX is great, visuals are great, this is a very solid entry.

The levels after the tutorial are also randomized, yeah? I noticed I was getting lots of different levels with different patterns, and some had different colors and portal positions but a similar layout. When I played for the second time I noticed they were all different! I think randomizing the levels did very well for the replayability. This game is a fun playground. Great job!

Developer

Yea the placements of the key objects have a few randomised positions on each map, it really helps to keep the game fresh across many resets. Haha playground is the perfect word for it, thanks for playing!

very chaotic  just how many lvls are there haha nice game

Developer(+1)

haha very chaotic and well... let's just say a lot of levels

Submitted(+1)

This feels chaotic but in a good way. All the different items were fun to see how they interacted with the little dudes

Developer(+1)

Haha chaotic is a very apt description, thanks for playing!

Submitted(+2)

AMAZING! I love the idea and the changing colors and everything! Though I think you chould get a second try with the same items, otherwise it is a bit frustrating when something just should have been a tiny bit more left or something.

This concept is so creative!

Developer

I considered retrying with the same items but I feel it adds to the chaotic experimentation feel to constantly be switching. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
