Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • There's not much to it, I don't really see any reason to not shoot at full power all the time and with the default power you can't even reach the closest deer. Lack a bit of depth.

Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)

Simple and fun! It reminds me of some old games like DDTank, and it might help to add more curve to the shots since I was able to do all my shots at 100% power and similar angles, which made it easy to breeze through it. Great work!

Simple but fun. Takes a couple tries to figure out the perfect angle, but I actually found that just firing at max power and a lower angle gets all of the deer very consistently. Good job!

very simple and literal take on the theme but really well done. It's hard to judge the curve on the first few tries without any indicator but I got it really fast. Very nice.

Love the game. Simple and easy to pick up and sink some time into several rounds. The music is really catchy too and going to be stuck in my head all day. Nice work!

I really like the art style, simple yet fun! I wish the font in the game were custom or something that fits the vibe instead of the default font tho. Nice work overall!

Love the art! Very fun!

For some reason, I get the feeling that the game is judging me.

P.S. Sorry, dear digital deer! I could never bring myself to shoot a real one.
