Such chaotic good fun! I played the game last year for FBQ7 and it was a blast, but this time around I had a chance to play the multiplayer with my kids.
Gameplay:
- For what I've noticed, the balancing and leveling have adjusted quite a bit from last year which provided a great experience in picking different builds!
- Adding portals to jump to your teammates was such a wonderful touch, instead of having us pointed to one another and worrying about how far the other players are, it was easy to focus on getting away and then teleporting to join the team again.
- Kids loved the naming but barely read the extra stuff... I loved all of that haha but the kids just kept wanting to go fast! I really like how the quotes are pretty much separated and italic, giving it the optional feel now that I've seen how the kids play. If anything, some bold lettering for the actual upgrades like "Damage" would help speed up flow.
Audio:
While there was indeed a lot of audio happening, especially during multiplayer, it didn't sound like the sfx were amplifying each other, I guess while playing split screen it might make sense to somehow isolate/lean the sounds of the other players to the left or right speakers. Then again that might make things worse if everyone were sitting out of position... This is something I'd need to think about further but I figure I'd raise the topic.
Visuals:
- As a colorblind player, most of everything was visually fine regarding gameplay. It was kind of hard to pay attention to everything on screen but that's a huge part of the fun, since everything going on is adding pressure.
- Split screen of course makes things very difficult given the smaller real estate. I was wondering if it were possible to be every slightly more zoomed out so each play could see a little more.
Random request from a pig streamer. Please add a playable pig! ^oo^v (of course you don't NEED to though... not sure how they'd lay eggs haha)
I think that was it this time around! I still need to go and check out the rest of the biome's and more of the story that you added! Looking forward to more updates!
Thank you for your time and for creating such a fun game!
