Here is my gameplay video if needed: 

I forgot to record my gameplay, but I actually beat the game on a second run. It was pretty fun, but... Hm... Perhaps it's not that balance. I believe I got something like q in the first or second run, but couldn't last that long, as there are not that many words with "q". Then I got "e", and I won the game, as there are a lot of objects with "e". Perhaps, if the objects are much more common, it's gonna be easier to understand, as some objects are not that easy to tell at a glance. But perhaps that's also the idea, to trick the viewer into thinking an object is something else, so they will fail in the game, which is "fair".

• Youtube Timestamped Link
• Graphics : Fine , reminds me of old 90s/00s edutainment games.
• Music / Sfx :
  
  • Music : Fine , fairly short loop though.
  • SFX : Fine
• GUI : Fine
• Gameplay :
  • Basic but fine.
  • Bit too easy.
  • Non-English characters is a bit of a strange choice.
• Notes :
  • Startup was quite loud.
  • Missed an opportunity to call the game 'Smart Ass'
  • Flies somewhere between seeming like it's more kid oriented and not.
  • I thought this was going to be like scrabble where you're trying to slowly build words but it ended up being a bit more like a snake/pac-man game trying to eat the pellets.

Honestly not sure what could be done for furthering this game aside from maybe just increasing difficulty or making it have a scaling difficulty, as it is, the game is fine but quickly gets old as there's not much more to do.

A pretty basic game, but had a lot of charm

Hello! Welcome to Feedback Quest 8! My name's Hythrain, a co-host and one of the streamers for this event! This feedback is being written live as I stream your game! If you're interested in seeing my live reaction, let me know and I can send you a link to the VOD once it's posted to YouTube!

So my normal approach for any game in these events is simple: I get the game, make sure it's not a virus, then play it with as little information on how to play as possible. This way, I can judge how intuitively someone can figure out the game. Only if it's obvious that I need to read more will I do so. I note this so you can get a sense where some of these feedback comes from. In addition, I want to note that feedback and rating are different; don't use this feedback to gauge what I'll rate, nor should you view my rating as entirely indicative of my feedback.

Beyond that, I do feel like this could be better. For starters, it starts off a lot harder than it ends as the number of items on the field seems to decrease as you collect more. I get this feel that as you acquire more of the objective item, items on the field that are outside of your vision will change into whatever you're after instead of having new items populate the field. This makes the "bullet hell" aspect of it diminish greatly, even when factoring in how the trail behind you does have an impact on your vision if you loop too fast on yourself.

I also feel like it shouldn't just stay at the same letter until you mess up, yet it also shouldn't change letters when you DO mess up. What I think would work is if after a certain number of items, the letter changes and you have to acquire new stuff. Obviously it shouldn't be sprung on them suddenly, instead telling them. Of course, there's one another idea that I think could work: the letter changes EVERY time and you have to form words. I'll use the word goblin for an example. You first find an apple with a G on it, then another apple with an O on it. Then you find the floating butt; this qualifies as the B. With this, you now introduce a lot more of a challenge as the constant changing of letters will keep you on your toes. On top of this, you also wouldn't need to "change" items when you start running out of items related to that letter. You instead just need to keep spawning new stuff in. Each game could be based around a set of words, and you just always spawn items from the entire set of letters (with some weight towards letters seen more often in the set of words). This, I think, would also fit into the whole "smart" idea of the game as you're now doing something smart: spelling. I could then see this being a great tool for teach kids how to spell and recognize both letters and objects that start with a letter (though in that situation, a few of the objects will need to be redone. I don't think parents would appreciate the nude or the butt images, even if kids would find them funny).

That's all I got. I hope this helps you! :D

It's peak. Better then silksong, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA game

I played the browser version.
What the heck was this game? 🤣🤣🤣🤣The premise is quite cool, actually--a cartoon donkey on a hoverboard collecting items/letters that matched the letter on screen. I could see this being useful for kids--provided there was some "Cleanup" if you will (tame it down to G/PG). As it is, it's quite hilarious. I did not expect a pair of buttcheeks to show up, but then you ARE a donkey, and ass--well, you get the joke 🤣

Controls are fine and easy to use. Music is LOUD. If there's a way you can add in an option to adjust volume, that would be great. I was surprised to see that you could actually *win* in the game. Maybe add in a "collect 100 items to win" at the start, or however many the total is needed.

I think this was a cute little game, that I landed on was potentially an educational game. I think the basis could be really solid on a mobile phone to hand to a kid and have them learn letter and word association. Expanding the number of objects and working towards having kids learn various definitions of words. I don't know if it was what you were going for in general, but it's really where I felt like it could shine.

Okay, this is more fun than I expected! It's a really simple game, but I like the graphics and the premise a lot.

It was really clever that you not only needed to gather apples with the correct letter on them, but also items that started with the correct letter. That was silly but fun. It would be nice though if there were a directory of the images to tell you what they are, because for example I wasn't sure if the one with a censored bar was "c" for censored, or "n" for naked. Having a way to just look at all of them from the menu system would be cool.

The goal is really easy to understand for this game, and I appreciate that as you get close to the end it tells you that you have x amount of items left to snag. That is a fantastic feature in my eyes. 

It is not clear however if the letter on the goal apple is case sensitive to what you're gathering. Not sure if it's intentional for the player to not know at the start, but unless you intended for trial-by-fire, having that be part of the explanation would be good.

If I had anything I'd really change, it's the volume level of the music. It was so loud to me, and there was no way to adjust the volume within the game itself to account for this. It might be fine for someone who's only playing that game and has nothing else to listen to, as they could just turn the system volume down, but when I'm streaming or if I'm chilling in a VC and playing, or playing and listening to a podcast, then that's not an option as I have other things I also need to be listening to, too.

Overall though I really enjoyed your game, and I think you've got a good thing going!

My VOD with your game bookmarked for a timestamp is here:

Hey, I just played your game.

Controls are good and arts are really nice.

It took me a while to figure out where the hit box is. At first I thought it was the whole donkey 😅

Good game for kids ;)

Well done!
