Very cool game. I really liked the three mini-games and the chill music which fits the theme very well. It was also fun that you had the possibility to play with the toy afterwards :). I think also the instructions with the "Help" button everywhere are very helpful for people who do not read the description first. I have two things which could be improved:

  • When I got the toy, I was not sure if the job was now done or if I need to play "correctly" with the toy to finish the job / level. Maybe a button for "go to next job" or a message that you succeeded would have made it clearer.
  • I am pretty sure that there is a bug in the "Program the Toy" part. I had all glyphs correct besides one. Then the one piece was shown PURPLE, which should be "correct glyph but wrong spot". However, if there is only one glyph wrong this cannot be. Either it is the wrong glyph or the correct one in the right spot.

Congratulations to this very chill and cool game. I had really fun playing it!

Hi, thanks for playing. =]

  • I agree that there should be a better cue for what to do after making the toy. I've already upgraded the buttons, the one you should click will now say "NEXT" and it will wiggle a little bit to grab your attention. Though regretfully, changes won't go live until after the jam is complete.
  • Unfortunately, I'm not exactly sure what you mean about their being a bug in the coding part. But if I had to guess, their might be a misinterpretation of the color code. PURPLE means that glyph is not correct, but belongs on the board somewhere. It doesn't matter how many of the same glyph is on the board, or whether it was already used correctly somewhere else. So perhaps it may have misled you think you needed to use another glyph of that type when you didn't. When designing it there were multiple ways I could have implemented that and I went with what I felt was simplest and clearest, but I might have missed the mark on that.

Thanks for your feedback!

Let me try to explain the "bug" or at least what confused me a bit :) : I had all glyphs correct besides the very last one. Then I placed a glyph and it was shown PURPLE. Based on my logic, the last glyph can only be correct or wrong. It cannot be a glyph which is at the wrong place, because there is no other place to put it. I think I understand what you meant: The evaluation does not take into account the already placed glyphs. Based on my logic it is a bit misleading, but maybe my logic is wrong :D. I hope I could explain it.
