HEY! I got to play this on Saturday but with the kids with me I didn't get a chance to rate the game but here's the link to the gameplay https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2565381393?t=02h10m28s with my daughter. Now that the dust of all the streaming has settled, here's my feedback.
Gameplay:
- Such a simple concept with a lot of possibilities! I loved how there was no real one way to approach this game, especially as I watched my daughter explore some critical thinking. I felt like there aren't enough games the really challenge the kids anymore, especially on mobile games where the games seem to be insulting our intelligence more than anything.
- I only got to play up to stage 5 but the progression was fantastic, allowing room for players to first learn the game, to exploring the game, then adding a bit more challenge! Didn't even really need a tutorial, it was nicely intuitive.
Audio:
- Moooo, Sfx were great for what it is, thinking the portal and hitting the hay could have better effects but for an indie title that isn't much of a priority.
- I'd love to hear some ear candy level of of music that would further match the cuteness of the game, especially something attractive for kids, the current percussive track does add a bit of that puzzling feeling though so something that includes this feel. I actually wouldn't mind throwing together another kid track. I made a upbeat version of Row Row Row Your Boat/My Bonnie for another kids game. https://glimmusic.com/services.html Click the Kids Upbeat Dance Track. If this is something you'd like, let me know.
Visuals:
- All the assets were simple and easy to identify as objectives! Only thing i'd probably like to request is a way for the dashed lines to pop a bit more as I felt that my daughter was not entirely aware of it as much.
Overall I'd love to see more of this game especially as a mobile app since I've noticed that kids lean toward that more than pc's now. Hope you continue to develop the game!
Thank you for your time and for creating such a wonderful thought provoking game
Regards,
