Pretty fun game! I think finding a different place for the TroubleMakers text would be better. It's a very important part of the game and I feel like where it's located doesn't really show that.

I do think it'd be great to NOT show a wall of text for instructions. It's a jam which is fair, but perhaps in the beginning, just place the key that's meant to be pressed ?

Pretty nice art. It all looks unison which is a huge plus.


For example, you start in that special area, show the button that makes you heal below it. Then when a trouble maker shows up, show the button that kicks them out. That way, you're teaching the player one step at a time wand not showing them everything.
Great job overall

Hey! Thanks a lot for all of this feedback. We really wanted to make a whole tutorial scene but we faced a lot of last minute bugs, and we spent all our time fixing them, so we just went with the not so pretty option, but I totally get your point and we'll keep that in mind. Thanks a lot once again!

For whatever reason all i get is "you can only dance on the dedicated zone" everywhere on the map.

Hey! You can only dance in the designated zone, which is indicated by red ribbons, on the top left corner of the map. You cannot dance on the dance floor, because you are a bouncer and cant be seen doing that.

makes more sense but it sais the same thing in that area too...

Hmm, I tried playing the game right now, and it works fine for me.  You can dance in the area that I have highlighted with a white square. You will also get a prompt at the bottom of your screen that says press space to dance. You should be able to dance then. White Square

It's like two concepts made in a single theme, good job! Hilarious story/mechanic Haha. One downside is that, there is too much explanation going in, you can always explain the game using the gameplay itself. But other than that, this is a such a smart way to tackle the theme. A really goob job! :)

Hey! Thanks a lot. In our last game, we got a lot of feedback about how the tutorial was inadequate, so I think we were cautious not to make that mistake again, and so we ended up over explaining things. In any case, thanks a lot for the feedback and I'm glad you liked the game :)

Really fun and fits the theme well. On the second level everyone was  a trouble maker once they started dancing, idk if that's a bug or intended, but either way great job!

Hey! Thanks a lot! On the second level - the probability of the dancers making trouble increases quite a lot, to make it more challenging!

Overall great game. A little repetitive, maybe you can add another mechanic!

Reply
prbsthDeveloper3 years ago

Thanks for the feedback - we will definitely think more about that and implement new mechanics!

Nice game idea and concept of the theme! It was kind of a big challenge managing the trouble makers AND trying to dance at the same time XD. The backstory was a nice touch as well I enjoyed reading it!

Hi! I'll be playing Beat Bounce tomorrow on stream along with several others games from the jam at 3:30pm EST. I'll be talking about any interesting design decisions as I play, and suggesting improvements if any come to mind. Please feel free to join me live, it'll be extra fun to chat together about your game while playing it :)

Here's the segment where I played your game! The way you put pressure on players to manage both their dance fever meter and the trouble-makers at the same time is great for keeping players busy and engaged in your game. As I mentioned it'd be great to have more noticeable warnings for the ways the player can lose (i.e. when the fever meter is too high or there are too many trouble makers), since I found it kind of sneaks up on you while you're focused on one task or the other.  If you want to keep working on the game it'd be nice to mix up the level layout so it's a new challenge each time. Great work! :)

Hey! Thanks a lot and we're really really glad that you thought our game was fun. I tried playtesting to see if the soundtrack issue was a bug but it seems to be working for me. In any case - thanks a lot!
