Doing long and indepth game critiques

- I love writing big paragraph critiques about everything that I think is done well and what could have improved upon the creative vision of a submission. I will give you both a critique on what could have been done better in the 7 day  and how the project could be built upon post jam and the projects biggiest weaknesses and strenghts.

I will choose the game from this thread at random and will try to play every single game to the best of my ability.!

Also check out our funny little game :D

Here is my game:- /jam/brackeys-16/rate/4952547 would be great if you give some feedback

Its a neat idea of the old school rage platformer where the game plays against you

The controls could have been setup way better, id much prefer having to hold the space to climb up the ladder than having to use "W", also using the mouse to restart when you die is not very intuitive, you should be able to restart each level by just pressiong space, having to use your mouse in a game that doesn't have any mouse related controls is annoying.

The colors could have been abit better executed, I tought the pink Xs were dangerous when I first played cuause they are so vibrant, since they are a background elemnent they should be abit darker to not confuse the player. 

I would have loved the uncle to be a bit more jokey or have some character besides only saying stuff as a cold statement.

The gimmick of the stuff being behind the uncle got obvious after the second level lol.


I do like the artstlye quite a bit, its very easy on the eyes, minimalistic and the color choices are good which makes for a pretty pleasent playing experience.

The controls are simple but it suits the game having no difficult platformer parts, its more of a puzzle game than a platformer?

Cool lil game good job

The atmosphere you were able to squeez out of a 2/3 color pallete is insane, the music is just amazing and probably my favourite part, the starting sequence was very cinematic and beautfiul and had me all ears.

Really fw the artstlye, super simple but also so pleasing and everything is in the right place, + asteroids!

Sadly the game does fall flat in the middle of the playtrough, its just holding W. The little chat on the side is a very cool adition to kill the time with and really adds to world building of the game. Alot was left to the imagination which makes this for a very powerful experience atmosphere wise, great job.

I think a new game mechanic in the middle of the game would have been huge, like a small boost or a dash or something simple would have really made this much more fun, the game should retain its simplicity and focus on atmosphere but adding a small simple movement alternative mechanic or such would really make the middle part of the game much more bearable.

The ending chase part was fun but the ending was way too fast and I expcted something more cinematic, the music builds this tension that doesnt resolve which is a shame. The story is also lacking, the illusion of choice thing where you can deny a request doesnt really change the outcome of the story at all since you have to accept it either way, the pacing is way too fast and the middle part fails to hook me in with the seemingly pointless quests and getting paid with money that doesnt show up anywhere on the UI nor is really used in any way in the game.


This games atmosphere and worldbuilding are very strong but they need a more solid structure in either gameplay or story, cause the current game really got me hooked at the start but really felltrough in the middle... 

Good job

Made a retro-y Puzzle platformer with celeste-y vibes mechanically and logic puzzles, if that’s your thing!

I find it interesting and helpful to hear constructive critique. For example, which parts of the game people might find difficult to understand.

This is the first game I've ever published online, so I don't have enough experience to know how people, other than my friends, will react to certain game design choices.
