Firstly Congratulations on your first submitted and completed Game Jam! Speaking from experience, I know its not easy. Half way through making the game, you start to doubt that you can complete it, lose faith in yourself, lose motivation and you think to give up. So well done on not giving up! And keep creating games! Trust me, the first one is always the hardest. My first game I almost gave up on but I forced myself to complete it and it was awful. This is my third game jam now and I can truly say you gain confidence in every jam you do and you learn so much!
I want to do what someone did for me on my first Jam and give you pro's and con's to hopefully steer you towards the next step.
Pro's
- Creative implementation of the special object
- I loved the auto tower defense vibe
- Part 2 honestly made me chuckle, it was a fun little surprise in the end
Con's
- The Tower Defense was too hard, you got swarmed by snails very quickly, too quickly
- Audio! You'd be surprised how much further a game can go with audio, it adds so much!
Advice for if you want to continue creating which I really hope you do!
- Focus on game balancing
- Focus on game polish
Focusing on these 2 things really excelled my games! If you take a look at my first game, to the game I made this Game Jam. I've improved 10 times, just from these two things. They can really make or break a game!
Keep creating, hope to see you in another Jam soon!
