Hey, thanks for making this game, its very cute! Here is my feedback:
- I like that you phrased the description of the game as an email to the player <3
- please enable fullscreen options on itch
- the typing mini game is great (but without full screen the beginning is cut off and I have to guess the first letter. There is no feedback for spaces, consider some visual feedback here, or play sounds for correct and incorrect letter typed. I love that there is this whole email but I only have to type a few words, really gets this concept across nicely. It feels like there are only 3 templates for emails, which gets repetitive, I would suggest to add more variation
- time passes so quickly its hard to keep track of the progress bars while doing things
- players might need help understanding what scrolling does. It takes too much time and I want to be able to stop, it doesn’t seem to help me feel any better. this mini game could be improved by making scrolling simpler (just click and the game autoswipes to next picture), and allow players to like with some satisfying sound and particle effects. It should reduce stree or increase satisfaction but nothing seems to happen.
- Not being able to finish an email because the day ends, that doesn’t feel good. I would allow them to complete it.
- I forget how many days I have been doing this, would like to see a day counter on the menu screen
- I failed but I am not sure why. My stress maxed out but I don’t know how I could have prevented that. Should I spend more time scrolling, less time writing emails? That seems counter intuitive.
- Add an option play again at the end when the game is over
- Consider adding background music that helps communicate stress levels (let me know if you need more help figuring out how to do this)
Good luck!
