This is pretty interesting
A bit too much reading at the start with no guidance, but I kinda like that approach
I always hate it at the start, but as I start to understand what everything does, its much more fun!
Though Id have liked to get a just a bit more to read about how the game worked haha
From what i gathered:-
You move each turn, the attacks and heal effects happen on their own after you end your turn
Food regains the food bar.. and the herb replenishes health?
In my first attempt i reached 38 days before everyone in my party died
But in subsequent runs
The end turn button vanished mid game, even when my party members were doing good
Im not sure if this is a bug aswell, or just me missing something crucial.. (probly the latter xD)
Im still able to move for the turn, but I cannot go forward
For the feedback:
- A bit hard to read, With majority of the colors being a shade of red, its hard to read certain stuff
When you get hit and what not. Also when you end a turn, you need to click on the characters again to refresh their stats, which can also feel weird. No announcement of death, its completely possible to just miss that one of your party members died. There is no cam shake, announcement or unique sfx that alerts the player instantly
- Stats only visible when clicked, i wish stats for the members were either always visible or when you hover over them instead of only when you select them
- Other than that, just feeling a bit lost, the game not really explaining alot (which tbh IS kinda fun to figure out on your own, but its a double edged sword :P)
- More juice, stuff like when a member attacks, when they heall another member, when they generate food. Rn that stuff just happens, itd be cool if the player was given visual cues when some of that stuff happened
For some stuff i really liked:
- I love the strategy element, the event tiles, the randomness you are presented with and then a chance (your turn) to deal with it.
- The music, art and the overall atmosphere are really cool!
- Different characters with unique abilities making it possible for some cool combinations. But I do feel you could have had some more unique stuff like the ability to be able to move twice in 1 turn
Overall, a really cool and fun game! I just wish there was more juice, polish and just a bit more guidance
Great work Farly! :D
