Rectangle Warrior's itch.io pageJudge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- The positives (theres quite a lot)!: I liked the color scheme, and the minimalistic feel of it. Clear difference in colors between the different enemies meant you knew what was coming at you. This is a prime example of: you don't need to know how to draw to make a game. And it is awesome! The sound effects were on point, the effects (bleeding of the rectangles, the stomp making the ground shudder) were perfect! Negatives: I don't really see much interpretation of the theme. Sure, you shoot and stomp the ground, but also defend. You are a warrior, not just a weapon. I quickly realised that I could just spam the blaster and ground stomp when the low rectangles were closest to me, and reach wave 11 (where my hand got tired and I timed a stomp wrong). To improve: a more balanced system for the actions you have. Right now the shield is effectively useless, especially since it's one hit to die. Consider having enemies that shoot at you from a distance, for example. Upgrades? Upgrades! I like upgrades! (just an idea). Music, levels, a story perhaps? You can really flesh out this idea if you want to keep working on the game! Keep it up!

Summarise your game!
Rectangle Warrior is a fast-paced action game about the Rectangle Warrior defending Rectangle Kingdom from the Heretic Rectangles. Use your rectangular abilities to fend off hordes of enemies.
You are a rectangle with 3 abilities: Ground stomp, blaster, and shield. How does a rectangle have these abilities? Only the Rectangle Warrior knows.
The player uses these abilities to destroy the Heretic Rectangles that are charging towards the Rectangle Kingdom. The waves of enemies get more difficult as time goes on, so the player must learn when to use their abilities to best increase their chances of survival.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Theme Interpretation (You Are The Weapon)
"...you exist to influence your surroundings in some direct way"
The Rectangle Warrior descends from a long line of Rectangles, who have trained tirelessly in the Rectangle Kingdom for millenia, preparing for the inevitable attack from the Heretic Rectangles. Finally, the day has come. You embody the Rectangle Warrior, fearlessly using his abilities to fend off certain death and destruction.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Warning: If you're more of a triangle person, I suggest avoiding this game

Nice game! Really simple idea and executed very well. I like the different abilities and enemy variety. It would be nice to have some music with it, and maybe allow the player to hold down the ability button so you don't have to spam it the entire time. I made it to level 10, great work!
thanks! I agree, a soundtrack would be a nice touch.
Love the idea and the particle effects look great! cool game :))
thanks!
