Judge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.
- Feedback provided via Indie Legion.
- This is more of a WW post, try focusing on a pitch!
- After reading both the tweet and the press kit I still have no idea what the core game loop is. I'm guessing "Where's Waldo" but in Venice with Sophie, but really needs clarification.
- Tweet could use a better video HIdden Object Gameplay needs to better shown in video Great Artwork Solid Press Kit
- Stand out entry! This looks like a stunning #WheresWally Visual Novel in a game. Great Press Kit! Love the Trailer and the visuals -- it's so cute! Suggestions: -- The tweet needs work. We've suggested an option below (as Realms Games). -- As your Steam page is your key focus, you could add a link with Call to Action on your Itch page. -- You can create an embedded link in your GIF using Twitter Ad Cards so that when people click the GIF they go straight to the Steam page.

- Easily one of my top five pitches! Even went and wishlisted- I was pulled into the game... I wasn't actually going to watch the trailer because it wasn't in the pitch tweet, but I'm glad I did! It's remarkable and I never been to Venice so my jaw dropped a little. It's musically fine, aesthetically welcoming... I love, LOVE HOGs. But I do have to say I think the lack of details and too many things being fitted did turn me off. Maybe it's totally realistic in terms of scale, but I'd imagine me straining my eyes for quite a bit.

The tweet doesn't provide a lot of detail into what the game actually is - but the visuals on the trailer are so good that I'm still pumped about the game anyway! Awesome work on the trailer :)
Beautiful art! I think this is a very good fit for the hidden item genre. The tweet didn't give me much to go on besides the hashtags. Please consider including what makes your game unique among the Hidden Items genre. Love the trailer! Please use that in your tweet.
Thank you for sharing Sophia with us!
Really like hidden object games and I think you are doing a unique 'take' on this concept, but I am not sure I quite understand how. I need a little bit more detail or explained gameplay footage. The game's art and wholesome atmosphere are great
The game looks really great, loving the art a lot! Unfortunately the pitch tweet itself doesn't explain much about the game
Stand out entry! This looks like a stunning #WheresWally Visual Novel in a game.
Great Press Kit! Love the Trailer and the visuals -- it's so cute!

+ Sign me up on that cruise with Sophia!
+ When can we depart!? It's beautiful and melodramatic.
+ Absolutely mind-boggling addition to the genre. They're proud to have you!!
- Not me, but stickler for rules might say that the pitch tweet was super weak.
- Worried about the accessibility of the finding things, people.
The game looks great - it's like a moving where's wally book, love the art style :) the tweet doesn't really say anything about what the game is though unfortunately. I'd also not describe your reasons for making the game in the game description part of your pitch deck - reserve that quote for a press release and instead describe what you do in the game :)
The main pitch for Pitchyagame is the tweet, and it doesn't explain anything about the game, it just links to somewhere else that it gets explained, but, the art is very good!
I like the style of the twit, there is direct call and also ur itch page is really organized.. =) good luck
