Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • I like the concept and interpretation of the theme, however the gameplay feels pretty underwhelming.
  • Very charming artstyle, straightforward mechanic!
  • Love the idea here, conveyer belt is a very smart approach to the theme! Definitely more of a tutorial would have been beneficial, as well as better indication of when your changes to product were being made (or processing that change faster). Very cute game overall, though!

How does the game fit into the theme?

Jam Judge

Hi, I'm hedge one of your judges! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in at 4:17:50 <3 (Part 2)

The art is really cute and well done, I also like the interpretation of the theme.

Gameplay could've been smoother though, switching form the control panel to the production line without being able to see what's going on is quite an unfair challenge. Also maybe you could add a sound when a block is produced so we kinda have an idea on what's going on.
Good job!

The game is cool, I especially liked the color mixing, I had to make mistakes to achieve the correct mixing.

loved the art, the gameplay could have some improvements like making a timer for us to prepare just a bit, but nice job overall! (i also liked the piano jam a lot)

I feel like the keyboard should act as shortcuts for the control panel, cuz having to open the control panel, loosing sight of what’s being produced and what’s being requested is kinda unsatisfactory, also, I think that having a ramp in difficulty in regards to the color mixing would be best, like, it takes a while to get used to the controls, and only them probably it would be nice to have color mixing as well :)

Cute and snappy! I think it would have been more satisfying if the control panel were always open, and if there were some feedback at the moment a shape is produced, something the player can time his actions against.

Cool gameplay took a second for me to understand how everything worked but once i got the hang of it.........i was still bad lol but thats my fault

Very good concept, and I can definitely imagine that a lot of great things could be done with it! The art style is fantastic! I wish the control panel was always visible so I could react to orders immediately. Other than that, a really cool idea!

This game is cute, simple, and fun. It's also really hard! The best I got was a C. Is the best strategy to slow the machine down while the worker says the next prompt? It's tough!

Submitted

It was fun, I thought it was original. The art is really cute, and the music fits well.

My only issue is that I feel like the panel could have been visible all the time, since it's kind of awkward having to open and close it all the time when changing orders.

But maybe that's just me haha, other than that, it's great work! :D

i love this take on the theme! you created a really cool gameplay loop. the art is awesome as well.

This game is really, well... Frantic! Super cute art style, and super fun gameplay! I suck at this game. The score grading at the end is a huge incentive for me to keep playing... I love it!

Submitted

This was a really cool game, the cutesy visuals make it feel really polished! You fit the theme well though it was a little overwhelming in the first few seconds to fully understand my role. Great job guys! Also the grading page at the end is an awesome inclusion, time to improve my score!
