Thanks
I really liked art style, gameplay was a lot of fun. Great job, and I hope to see the full release soon!
The game's premise immediately made me want to see how those ideas were reflected in the mechanics, and it delivered. Everything feels well thought out, from the tactical gameplay to the presentation.
Overall, this is a very creative project and an excellent piece of work. Congratulations on making such a fun and memorable game. I really enjoyed playing it, and I wish you the best in the jam!
Did you ever play that holiday present game as a kid where you'd pass the parcel left or right based on a little story that was told by someone at the party? "Mrs. RIGHT LEFT her home and turned LEFT RIGHT away..." - the tutorial and dialogue definitely gave me that feel. I really liked that, though, it's a fun way to interact with the theme.
Hex based strategy though, gimme! I loved all the different interactions and mechanics, and honestly could see this developed as a larger game. I'd be DOWN to play that! The later levels did get a bit tricky, and on the first level it took me a bit to realize what I was meant to do - so maybe a bit of an arrow pointing to the element you need to drag UP, or a hand drawing attention to it may help. I kept trying to drag on the arrow soldiers themselves, but realized that was not what I was supposed to do.
i think you did a great job in the short timeframe! I thik the concept is strong, setting up a solution and watching it succed or fail. I think, if you keep working on the game, a way to make failing more fun would be great! and as others already pointed out, the tutorial could benefit from some tweaks. the wordplay was funny and i think it is something like a unique selling point, but it distracted partly from the tutorial, maybe a bit less is more :D
but overall well done!
Perhaps a tutorial of some kind could help the game and reduce the need for interactions
This was our first game jam and we've realized our mistake. Many people had issues with the ui and how to play. Writing tutorial dialogue text that explains the mechanics or a gif that shows how to play wasn't sufficient. Thanks to your and other's feedback we'll be sure to turn this mistake into a learning opportunity! Thank you for taking the time to give feedback!
Really nice game! The mechanics are cool and the levels are pretty well designed.
A small UX critique: drag and dropping tokens for the sequence and having the play button at the top left wasn't very intuitive, I actually thought it was a music option at first, haha! Also, it would be great if items stayed in place when you retry a level, rather than having to set everything up again after a failure.
Still, really fun game!
Thank you so much for playing our game! It was a great learning experience for us as well, most people had similar feedback about the unintuitive ui design. It was mostly a secondary concern which now we regret. If we decide to continue on developing we'll be sure to take in all the feedback into mind while making a ui overhaul. Thank you for taking the time to give feedback!
The game plays pretty well, it's fun but it can get really hard (might be a skill issue).
Well done on the game !
Interesting game! Seems like you guys combined a lot of different ideas into one game for such a short time frame!
One minor bug I noticed was that it seemed that you had the enter key set up to advance dialog, but if there was no more dialog following, then enter did not work (left click had to be used). Maybe this was related to the dialogue box not being focused?
Overall, good job!
