Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • Having a time limit to learn how to play the game is not a satisfying experience. There was no direction outside of a diagram to show what the player needs to do. While that is helpful, it does not support the player in learning to actually play the game. I would add a tutorial where you are guided on how things mix and how to actually use the different machines. Also, the sound design of the game when the enemies showed up was oppressive and immediately made me want to stop playing. This seems like a really interesting concept and I can see that there was a lot of thought put into this game and would like to see it polished.

Scary tactical shooter :D
You control 2 alchemists that came to fight shadow monsters
The game isn't polished enough, so it has some bugs. We'll appreciate if you comment them

Cool atmosphere but surely not an easy one with that time frame :D
I would love to see more polished version and maybe to add an option to see in each minigame what I have to do after character speaks to me xD

Hi! We do appreciate your feedback! The game itself obviously needs some polishments, but we turned out not to be able to finish it on time, I hope in the future we will manage our time more properly!
