now that i've tried the game, i can give some feedback:
- although turn-based strategies are not my forte, i can tell that the game has a lot of depth and will be appealing to TBS fans.
- the graphics are nice - i like the retro look.
- i encountered one issue with the controls: pressing TAB didn't seem to do anything for me, but it also didn't seem necessary in order to play the game.
- at first, i wasn't sure which character was 'JP' or 'Penelope' but I figured out by looking at the image in the circle; i wonder if there's a way to make that even clearer for the player by making the association between the name and the image even more obvious.
- i also noticed that the 'camera' movements feel a bit disorienting. i wonder if there's a way to smoothly animate the camera movement rather than jumping from one angle to another.
- one last thing. as JcupDev mentioned, the game initially gives the impression of being something a bit gentler, so maybe title screen could include some of those undead characters to let the player know what's in store. i like the idea of seeing the enemies creeping up on the cute teddy bears. :-)
- overall, i'm very impressed by what you accomplished in a short time period. keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for your feedback! I think all the points you made are very valid and I will work on addressing them! Thanks again!
i think it's awesome that you're making this game as an anniversary gift for your girlfriend! i really wanted to try it out, but unfortunately, the window isn't large enough on my browser to read all the text or click any buttons other than 'start'. have other users reported issues with seeing the whole window? it looks like the previous commenter was able to play, so it might just be my screen resolution settings. i'll try changing them...
UPDATE: yes, when i changed my screen resolution to 1920x1080 and played the game in fullscreen mode, i was able to see everything. i'll give it a try now!
Good work on your game! I love turn-based games. I definitely got destroyed. I guess I wasn't that good at taking out that healer. The story beforehand and the cover art definitely made me think this would be a different game, not that it was a bad thing, just doesn't read as fighting an undead army with bears lol. Really awesome to get all this in a month, though. Turn-based games have so many systems.
I really appreciate your comment! Totally valid for you to be confused with the bears fighting an undead army lol. If you want a bit more explanation on the backstory, I have a youtube devlog series here: https://www.youtube.com/@stego_studios
