Judge feedback

  • The music is absolutely a banger! the art was pretty. The game play seems to be fun and theme is pretty well implemented. Unfortunately, I encounter few bugs that made game play pretty difficult where in the combat you can't choose any other action besides damage and enemies don't seem to infect any locations. I am looking forward to seeing more decisions in combat and variative in enemies in the future.
  • The combat music goes hard. The art is OK, doesn't seem to be committed to its charm. The animation governing the movement of the corruption zones is really awesome, but doesn't fit in the overall "ms paint" art style. Looking forward to seeing other choices other than "fight" being available to the player.
  • The game feels very incomplete. There is no real guidance for the player on what to do once they get into the game, so a tutorial would be nice. The theme of Alchemy is also entirely missing from the game so it loses points in this Jam, also the attack sound used is kind of like a chainsaw on my eardrums so I would replace that with something else lol Honestly I see the vision you guys were going for and its good! Just maybe try to scale down for the next jam, get a tiny finished product out that is polished instead of a big idea you can't finish in time! Start with less at first, and you'll slowly be able to do more faster over time!
