I bit confusing but interesting to play. I like the idea of an open play area and you walk and battle for the minigame.

hmm "bit confusing", I'll think about how to make it clearer, maybe there may be additional pop-up windows with a pause, showing what is happening, or what needs to be done in the game. Thank you for playing

I already tried to play yours, but I couldn’t get past anything. I'm not good at text quests :)

I like the idea of combing an overall game with some smaller mini-games. Something which ties the different pieces together is a bit missing. The next things I would do to improve the game:

  • Frame rate. Not sure if it was a deliberate choice, but the game feels as it runs at a very slow frame. This makes it not very smooth and does not feel so responsive. If you just use the stuff from Phaser (update functions etc.) out of the box, this should be pretty easy to improve.
  • Improve the graphics (maybe by using an asset pack, in case you are not so into art) and add some audio.
  • Maybe a little story which helps to give the things you do a bit more purpose.

Anyway, congratulations to your game! I know what it means to finish a game in such a short time.

Thank you. I’m not sure if these are important things primarily for this game interest, but I added your comments to my todo list

Thank you. What controls need improvement? Need an example of what exactly is wrong?

Reply
madmarcelSubmitted307 days ago

the eyes  and the paddle don't move smoothly. They kinda stutter over the screen. Very hard to control. I have to tap a key multiple times to get it to move.

I fixed a few bugs in the game, if you have time, can you see if it's any better?

Awesome start! I had some trouble figuring out how to store the power. and figuring out win state. I also noticed a bit of jankiness but it looks like you have that figured out. Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Cool idea! I don't know if it was intended, but the movement is laggy and feels strange.

Nice job! ^^

Thank you. Not intended :), my work notebook is old and is laggy, becouse I optimize fps to 100-200ms (5-10 frame sec) and forgot to set the normal FPS before upload
