Of course, I hadn’t read the description...👀 and it was really cool for me to discover on my own that sliding makes you faster, and that a slide jump makes you so much faster.
…until I ran into a mousetrap and had to start everything all over again😐
Mmh, I’m not a pro game designer. But from a game design perspective, I can’t really say whether lives or a timer are unnecessary, it kind of depends on your vision for the game. Then I would check whether what you implement actually adds to that vision or not.
For example, if you want the game to feel more cozy, a timer with time pressure might not be the best idea. Lives, on the other hand, could work, since they encourage a more thoughtful, calmer approach.But that would also be somewhat unnecessary, since there’s already the punishment of being sent back to the start, so it could be a bit redundant. If you want it to be more difficult, then adding a timer fits, it can “stress” the player, which is its own skill to deal with, and can lead to more mistakes. Even though my first thought for increasing the difficulty would be to add more obstacles or make them harder?!
I liked the art and music. The game made me feel pretty relaxed. I also found it very interesting that you played as different critters, each with different speeds.
I’m curious why you added lives and a time limit, so that the level completely resets? (Was that to make the game last longer?)
I needed, a test run to really understand it, but after that, I had fun :D
Other than that, I thought the vibe was awesome: having this huge wall you need to repair, combined with the art style (which I think fit super well) the music, and attacks from aliens critters. It all came together to create a really cool vibe for me.
I found it very polished, from particular main menu but also the gameplay and everything was easy and clear to understand. For me personally, it just got a bit repetitive toward the end (more interesting enemies or something else to keep you engaged would be cool, i guess💭)
One small thing: in the pause menu, the button said “start,” and I was afraid to press it because I thought the game might restart.👀
I liked that the controles weren't too easy and it felt really rewarding when i finally got the hang of a level. But sometimes it also frustrated me quite a bit.
Ah okay, thank you very much for the detailed answer.
In fact, in some levels I had exactly that feeling of like there was only one correct path and other paths were just added. In others it didn't feel that way at all, especially when you had to step on others specific tile (there not in the "main path") to influence the loop.
Uh, CATS🥰 Pretty cool Idea. Sometimes it was hard for me to quickly identify what was running around. Other than that, i found the vibe, art and audio, very relaxing😊
Ohh... our games kinda overlap with the negativ feedback loop ( i mean food, but i already interpreted that as power👀) Super interesting to see how things around it are different, and how that changes the whole gameplay experience 🤓
Very cool and unique interpretation of the theme :D
I think my score was 50,000 (or 5,000 if 50,000 is waaay too high), but it started to feel like it was going on forever, so I stopped. But I think you got cards faster and faster as it went on, right
