Hi everyone!

I've just finished and published my first game "Zombrero". As I am a total beginner in game developement, coding and pixelart I would appreciate any kind of critique or tips. I started experimenting with Unity a while ago but changed to Godot, because of its better intuitivity and beginner-friendly design. It was a lot of fun to understand how to implement things and create the product I envisioned. Its a simple little game, but maybe you have some fun with it, and if not, tell me why!

You can find the game here:

Hi Gerhard,

Congratz to your first game!

Here is my feedback:

Points I liked:

• The art style!
• The sounds were very good. Did you buy them somewhere or could you get them for free somewhere?
• The final screen and the game concept. It was really fun to play.

Potential points of improvement:

• The game started by default in window mode. Maybe it's my personal preference, but I feelmore comfortable with a default full screen.
• The transitions between Death and Graveyard could be faster. It feels to long if you die easily, like I did ^^
• A pause menu
• A quit menu | Actually there was no menu at all except the starting screen ^^
• The game needs a steep learning curve. Maybe some inexperienced player will reject the game because it's to hard to play and the will stop playing because they are frustrated.
• Difficulty levels. Something like Easy Cheesy | Nacho Style | Hardcore Tequila. Just kidding, but I think you get the point ^^

I hope I could help you. If you'd like to take a glimps on my recent game "Balls of Steel", it would make me super happy to get a feedback. Just if you like and have time for it for sure ;)

Greetz, Michael

Hey Michael, 

thank you very much! This is a great feedback, the difficulty is something I struggled to evaluate correctly, because I just had two people to test it. So this helps a lot! The sound effects were free, mostly from opengameart.org. My brother in law created the soundtrack himself. 

I'm definitely going to test your game, too :)
