looks interesting, but there were problems with controls on PC

Good game, but I'm having some trouble playing it.  I think the game might be broken for me?  Half of the time, a prompt appears to connect the sockets, the screen flashes with a bunch of sockets for a frame, and then I lose a charge instantly and it moves to the next game - which can end up being the socket mini game again.

Submitted

It's a simple Warioware style game, but with the theme of the battery of your phone.

The game is good, although it can do with some polish, and music.

Also, it took a while for mini-games to load for me.

GREAT GAME!!

Nice work my guy

Controls in mini-games are inconvenient on a PC. And things happen very quickly, I didnā€™t have time to understand what to do. I'm shocked that you put a ton of minigames into one project in such a short time. In my jam game I tried to combine 2-3 mini-games and it was not easy

Developer

If you focus on tuning the mechanics and want to nail the presentation even a single minigame can take a ton of time,  mine are tutorial mini-games, proof of concept or even simple interactions (like drag and drop) so it's easier to do it if you push for quantity instead of quality  hahaha.

I have taken note of your feedback, thanks!!

There's charm in the minigames and some neat ideas put forth but also a serious shortcoming in polish. While the most important part of game making is definitely the game, there is an art in QA'ing the game to ensure that it functions properly. I hope in future projects you can work out those polishing skills to deliver a complete package.

Developer

100% agree,  but I had a different thing in mind for this project,  since I'm more interested in how to create a "frame" to support minigames from anyone using phaser, than to make a polished collection myself,my choice was to add more minigames instead of polishing them, so the quality of the product suffers from it. 

Regarding QA I'm wondering if  I can implement something to help the process along the way, I already saw some state problems that could be checked automaticaly... ummm 

Thanks a lot for bring the subject of testing :)

Interesting idea, for me it was too fast, sometimes i died as soon as a new minigame started. So I would add some delay.

Developer

There is a delay system in place but since for  some parts/minigames required some modifications  it was  not fully implemented, maybe for some even a safe area/ no damage control at the starting point ( I think that one of the most common  insta-deaths is because in the minigame that you have to avoid contact, the enemy and the player generate already touching each other hahahaha )

Nice idea to have a collection of mini-games and the fast paced change between them! I really like the overall concept. Here is some feedback of things you might want to improve:

  • Make the time to read the instructions for the next game a bit longer. I liked the fast pace, but quite often I was not able to read everything.
  • I experienced a bug between the games, where one game was announced and but then it immediately switched to the next one.
  • Add music and sound effects.

Still this is a very solid entry and a good start, especially when you used Phaser the first time. Wish you good luck with it!

Developer

Thanks a lot for the feedback :)

And yup, all  the points mentioned go straight to the  "Todo list"

Nice collection of mini games here. There was a lot of work put into this. I think there could have been more polish in certain areas. For instance, the scene transitions between games could have been less abrupt. Also some levels bugged out for me when it would take me to a level then id instantly lose. Congrats on finishing.

Developer

My approach was quantity over quality ( weird I know hahaha ) since I wanted to test how easily and convinient could be to put  really simple "isolated" games on a shared structure and how you can push data between them. Thank you for pointing  out the bugs, I'm already making a list with all of them  to annihilate them in the next version :)

Good Game

It's kinda of playable with mouse, but yeah, keyboard controls would be awesome. Neat mini games, I love the variety.

Submitted

Unfortunately the game is unplayable on a Mac or PC but still a nice entry with potential! Just add some sounds please.

Developer

Oh I tried it on a windows Pc before and It was working (Didn't test it properly just a quick run) Is it related with the control scheme?? Right now only mouse input is enabled (click an drag or just click the on-screen controls) I definitively add keyboard controls and sounds soon! Thanks for  trying it and your feedback :)

Submitted(+1)

Sorry, I was not clear. I tried the game with a touch pad, not a mouse, and it was basically impossible to play. With a mouse probably you can do it, but a mobile or some other touch device would be preferrable of course. Anyway, I like the idea of the game, so well done!

Developer

Upss I didn't thought about that. Yeah I can see the game being totally unplayable using a touchpad since the controls are already a little bit "janky", thanks for the clarification it helps a lot :)

Submitted(+1)

Good entry, I liked the idea of mini games. Try to add arrows keys, would improve a lot the gameplay.

Developer(+1)

Yeah I agree, I will add keyboard controls soon. Thanks for your feedback !!
