- Game Design document was well laid out, concept and inspiration were clear. Description of game concept fairly limited but covered the basics. Level design was well considered with obstacles and the moving laser walls creating a fun movement challenge. Art style and gameplay make me think of Neon Chrome, just without all the extra shooting bits. The segments between levels where you advance through the computers is interesting and adds a fun additional dynamic to the "in computer" levels. If development continues, it could be neat to make the "overworld" into a bit of a puzzle too, requiring the player to choose their route and which "in computer" levels/challenges they wanted to engage with. It was neat to see the different pieces of computer hardware used as obstacles to work around. My one note would be that there is a lot of the exact same shade of red and it makes it very hard to distinguish between elements like the firewall and the AntiVirus. Background music is good for this kind of game. Energetic but not frantic, well chosen. Very solid basis of levels, lots of room to continue expanding.

First time using a GDD for a game jam and I discovered it with only a week left. All feedback is really valuable to me. Thank you for your hard work!
