Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • The game is stylistically very pleasing. I think the text needed some work as it was a little difficult to read as the text would jump around as it was being written. The one thing I found about the game that took away from the playability is that it was just a timed feedback loop. You wait until the human goes red, hit space, and move on. Maybe a meter or something above the human's head would have been better? Not certain, but the playback loop was just a bit simplistic. Keep at the game making though, because this game was quite compelling. Great job!
  • Love the artstyle of it. playability gets a low rating cause the game buged out when I put the bloodbags into the book. I couldn't get out of it and I heard text going in the background. very clever use of mechanics. this could be an interesting game if developed further.

Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?
yah

Seriously... did you include your Game Design Document?
I did!

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

Tell us about your game!
In "Mosquitoes" you control a mosquito and listen to people’s private conversations as you try to not get caught or killed. If you get close enough, bite them and suck their blood!

Combine different phrases and bits of information gathered via listening and blood-collection to solve the over-arching mystery.

Extra Notes
First attempt at a game jam, ended up a lot buggier than expected haha

This game is awesome!

I love the jazz-punk style art and writing, has a lot of potential :)

This game is still in development, but I can see that it has a great idea and the art style catches my attention.
