Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • This game felt as though there was a very small team involved in making it. It was difficult to identify the goals and interactions involved in the game and there was limited feedback. I think some user testing throughout the jam could have helped the team focus on feedback and polish up the experience.

  • I like the idea. A top down ship control game is really interesting, but there a lot of bugs at the minute which really hamper game play. I can see where it's going and I think the management style game-play is smart, but it needs a lot of work to get to a playable state.

  • This seems like it would make for an interesting game with further work. I see that you've stated it's not finished yet, so it would be great if you ended up working on the game further past Jamfuser!

    It was quite difficult to figure out what items on the ship corresponded to what systems. I could see that the characters were getting hungry, but I didn't know what items on the ship they could eat.

    After taking control of the ship and speeding up, the characters started to be left behind, as well as a lot of the UI! It would be great to check out this game again when some of these issues have been cleared up.

    The music was interesting and enjoyable, it would be nice to hear more of this in a more developed version of the game!

    I see what was being worked towards here, and I think it was a nice concept to aim for. In future game jams it might be worth keeping in mind that it's good to build up fewer systems that make up a fun experience before adding more to your workload.
