Thanks! The game is a little bit confusing I admit maybe 1 or 8 unexplained things but I hope you enjoyed it nevertheless!
If you could be so kind, can you please tell me what was confusing/overwhelming? I want to fix everything I can and learn whatever I can so your feedback would be AMAZING. Thanks either way!
Sure, I should have been more specific. When I say it’s complicated I mainly am talking about the letter scoring system. There are so many small numbers on the screen that it’s overwhelming to look at it all. My thought was “I’ll never understand all this math well enough to get the maximum score.” I didn’t understand how different options led to different results, even though all the information was right there in front of me. So I mainly just chose options randomly. And that was fun in its own way, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.
But, the actual main game loop of picking up letters and delivering them is quite simple and the to-do list was very helpful. The main game loop I thought was very managable and well-designed.
Ah okay, Yeah my letter scoring system does look a lot more complicated than it actually is. Getting different scores actually changes nothing (Except in rare cases where it changes the corporate praise you get)
I didn’t really know how to make scoring have strategy, so my strategy was random bs go!
I’m gonna try to have a little more intent and actual tradeoffs/gameplay next time.
