Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • There was nothing obvious to tell the player what to do when you got into the game. I tried to plant things, but couldn't do so. It's also counter-intuitive to have keybinds on the right side of the keyboard and expect the player to use their mouse. Regardless, I did like the art direction and think the game has some real potential if you see it through!
  • The game had a great Idea. Interesting management game with exploration elements! Few thing I have noticed the theme unknown is a bit of a bald take on the theme, to expand on you could add elements on how it affect player or the story to cerive that knowledge. Also game would really benefit from a tutorial. Overall great job, Keep this up as I hope to try this game once it is finished!
