Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • Your GDD is very clear on your design choices, goals and development process, nicely written! Playing the game, the swipe controls do make sense for your target of mobile support, but on pc they feel a bit unintuitive and slow. I made my way through many levels, once I started getting to high levels there were so many chests that swiping through them all and only being able to see 3 of them at a time became a bit disorienting. The art, music and sounds are very good, it gives a cute yet tense vibe. I'd have liked for there to be a bit more feedback on whether or not you picked the right chest, the transition to the next level is a bit jarring at first. Also, the feathers seem to clone themselves on use, they fill up and eventually completely break your inventory making the key unable to be used and the game unable to be progressed. Besides that I had fun playing and the game holds a lot of potential! Keep expanding on this and I hope you meet your goal of making it into a full game. Well done!

Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes

Summarize your game!
You are a giraffe who found a job as a dungeon explorer. You need to find the treasure on each level to get to the end. But why are there SO MANY CHESTS?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE IS ONLY ONE TREASURE AND THE REST ARE ALL MIMICS?!

Anyways, swipe left and right to scroll through the chest options, swipe up to open inventory, down to close it and drag and drop an item over a chest to use it.

Good luck!

Please explain how your game fits the theme.
There is only one treasure chest among mimics, you need to find it to advance to the next level

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
There are hints on the scrolls, those are helpful!

Fun art a good little puzzle game. The others mentioned what I noticed about the feather and occasional finicky swiping

Not bad. I think some of the swipe actions were finnicky,but otherwise good

Fun puzzle game, I love deduction puzzles. I think the feather was supposed to be single use, but I was able to use it unlimited times so someone who wanted to could cheese the puzzles. 

Developer

Thank you for reporting this! That's an annoying bug, it is meant to be single-use indeed. Unfortunately I am currently doing GMTK and have no time to fix this before the deadline :( 

Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for playing :D
