Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • I found your interpretation of the theme interesting, having to choose a single archetype, or in this case just one unit, and commit to it creates a clear strategic constraint. I agree that planes feel overwhelmingly strong; the only time I lost with them was on the highest difficulty against other planes. The music is well-chosen and fits the atmosphere nicely, and the sound effects are crisp and well-suited to the scenario. As is common in the RTS genre, introducing more units and types could significantly enhance the experience. However, this would require careful balancing to preserve the rock–paper–scissors dynamic that makes such games satisfying. Your GDD contains the essential elements but could benefit from further elaboration and more visual references, especially GIFs or images that illustrate specific mechanics in action Overall, this was a really enjoyable RTS, which is something I don’t often encounter in Game Jams. It has a strong foundation, and with expanded unit variety and refined balance, it could become even more compelling.

Summarize your game!
Unit Dominance is a real-time strategy (RTS) game. The goal is to destroy the enemy headquarters.

Please explain how your game fits the theme.
The twist if that you can produce only one unit type, soldiers, tanks or planes.

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Not enough time to balance it all. The idea is that it is possible to win with every unit vs every unit, but my brother told me planes are OP :-) but for this there is a debug balancing menu

Fun game. Good AI. The graphics reminded me of the classic Metal Marines game.

Lots of fun! I think planes are a bit overpowered, your bro is correct. But with the bot that just about makes it fair :3. Managed to pull out a soldier v planes win on max difficulty after a few attempts, but it was fairly difficult!
