You probably need to be more descriptive of what you are getting with the extended version because while I am interested, there's too little information to make me pay eventually.
Okay, after playing a round:
1. it took me a bit to figure out Left Click means open doors. You need to put some kind of left click icon near doors and stuff you can do. Also making opening doors instead of E or Right Click is an interesting design choice, because it also took me awhile to figure out Right Click is shooting, since I accidentally skipped that instructions. Put a right click icon in the beginning when encountering an enemy.
2. The gate activation is confusing. I found 3 gears that turned on generators but no hint of what do after that.
For the amount of work in a short amount of time, and it pulled some emotional heartstrings like some of my favorite games like To The Moon, which the creator told me this was based upon, it gets 4.
Why it doesn't get a 5:
1. The English dialogue, while decent, is obviously not from a native speaker. A lot of saying "Owwww" after an insult, jab, or surprise which gets annoying, but is tantamount to immersion breaking. Especially since the game is set what seems to be a European country of some sort. No native English speaker says "Oww" repeatedly, only Asian English speakers do that (I'm Asian, so I know).
2. Some minor gameplay annoyances. Sometimes you can't get through a door to the next area if you are coming from the side and must face it head-on. The fetch quest seems artificially extended, especially those parts that simply have the escort character saying to check the notes or grunting, not advancing the story.
3. The plot was a bit predictable, however, even with that in mind, it was still very emotional and heartfelt.
It gets a 4 as those things doesn't actually detract from the story focus. The game can be finished in under a couple hours, if not just one.
Let's get the excuses out of the way, the point person I was in contact with in the sponsor organization was embroiled in a move so he was swamped and did not get back to me until today.
So winner of the Crypto Jam is...
BITCOIN SURVIVAL by Old Mohave Games Studio!
The judges were impressed with the amount of gameplay features and intertwining cryptocurrency with every day life, even if fantasized.
Runner up was Carved In Bytes for mostly graphics and original story.
Thank you for joining the Crypto Jam, despite all the hold ups.
P.S. I am now free to advertise a new jam I'm hosting, the 4COOP jam. No prizes this time, and it's a month long.
