Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • When jumping into the game, I didn't know what to do. However, I was able to figure it out. The game is a lot of fun. I really enjoyed jumping into the dungeon and going back. Thanks for the fun time!
  • Takes a hit on playability cause the loading bars stopped working and I got some pretty bad lag spikes in the dungeon. I like the mechanics. syntesizing potions and selling them is a nice idea :) the art style is nice. I would have like to see some 3d models for the potions you make, and the portal could use a bit more than just being a ring you could see throug. a shimmering center or maybe even a hint of a dungeon in it.

Very impressive! Would love to see the dungeon be more dark/spooky and filled with stuff, and the enemies be more of a threat. Sometimes they get stuck (in-place or circling player) or stop chasing. Would also be cool to see the synthesizing have 3D models for ingredients and potions. Can't wait to see where you take the game from here, good luck!

Thank you for playing my game and the feedback! Yep, those areas definitely need more love. I like the idea of using 3D models for the synthesizing. Could do a bunch of cool animations with them that way.

I am planning on expanding this or making a similar game in a little different context in the future, using what I learned here as a solid starting point. :)
