Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • You are stronger than ya think. Keep fighting the anxiety. This game doesnt have to be amazing. Keep going! The game's story is good. That is all I can say about the game. The mini games are a bonus.
  • I enjoyed the style of this, I would describe it as a narrative journey with minigames along the way, and it did a neat job of showing the emotion around getting started. Good job!

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?
Yes!

Tell us about your game!
It's a load of spaghetti code, but it's *my* spaghetti code.

I wanted to recreate some of the classic old games as practice. This is the first time I am participating in a game jam, and also the first time I finish a "game", so I didn't want to go too big.

The instructions are unclear, but for the second game (breakout) you need to click LMB to start the game and use the mouse to move, and in the third game you shoot by clicking or holding LMB

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes...

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yep!

Extra Notes
Thanks for this. The reason I submitted it early was because I felt ready to move onto something new and didn't want to risk scope creeping this game.

It was really fun to use this chance to learn Godot, so thank you again!
