OMG, this is so good, such a simple but brilliant concept for a 20 second game. Very challenging and so much fun to play. Great job!!!
The visuals are top notch! I had a lot of fun playing. Everything seems nicely polished, great work!
I see you found a nice way to adapt the suggested theme into the game; the physics gameplay is pretty fun, and the visual concept matches well with it, too.
the best score I was able to get was 1. I think this game has potential, but I have a few critiques:
- Firstly, the drawing mechanic doesn't function the best. Drawing a path too slowly will cause you to make a really janky paths with weird bumps on them that the ball gets stuck on. Draw too fast, and there are gaps, which the ball can get stuck in or just fall through entirely.
- It feels weird for my score to be punished for going fast. In order to get my high score of 1, i just collected a couple stars and then slowly and tediously moved the ball into the goal. It's much more fun ( to me at least ) to flick and kick the ball around in a panic, trying to get as many stars as fast as possible, but the game punishes you for playing in this way. I feel like the timer should either have no bearing on the score, or add your remaining seconds to the score. perhaps something like 'score = (stars * 5) + time remaining'
- Another player said an eraser would be good, I could agree to that
- Flicking the ball is inconsistent, and seems basically impossible to kick it in any specific direction. I avoided using the mechanic because it only caused trouble. ( playing again it might be entirely random ? )
- The first time I played, I didn't get to read the instructions because I clicked on the game window ( habit to make sure my computer has it focused ) but clicking on the instructions anywhere closes them immediately. It should have a PLAY button somewhere that you have to specifically press
- SOUND. Sound is half of a game, and this game is entirely missing sound !
I think the game has potential, and I think the art is real cute. Sorry if i come across as mean, I just like analyzing the games I play. keep up the good work !
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to give an honest critique! I get your point about the scoring system.
With a bit more time, I'd definitely like to tweak some of the mechanics with this, and also add sound (was hoping to go back and do this but haven't had chance yet!)
Thanks again! (Loved your bomb defusal game, by the way!)
pretty good! it's fun to play, also a cool concept too
Very enjoyable and an interesting way to use the constraint. I love the aesthetic and the use of the theme too. My only real complaint is the lack of audio, which I think would genuinely add a lot to the game (assuming this was not a glitch)
Loved the aesthetic of the game! I was able to collect about 8 stars as my personal record but I loved it. Construct3 is an engine I've always wanted to try and seeing amazing projects like this emerge from it is lovely. Great job! :)
Cool concept and lovely art. I wish there was an eraser because I got stuck a few times. Please check out my game.
