Dropping my feedback here:
- Title Screen ping to start was a very stylish touch and great way to introduce the main mechanic.
- Right off the bat the game has a very AI feel to it, the text all being very clearly written by AI gives me a bit of pause about the quality of the game. Can't prove it but it just has a vibecoded vibe idk, very sorry if I'm mistaken but it follows a lot of design motifs typically seen in vibecoded projects.
- The gameplay is super cool! The use of pinging is a great mechanic. Surfacing to find power ups is cool too! I will say due to the wall of text in the how to play screen (that I didn't want to read) I didn't understand the purpose of the surfacing mechanic until I did read thru all the instructions later. I recommend adding some onboarding to reduce the need to read all that text, since it is jarring for the average player.
- Code generated assets and audio is super cool! I like the audio and visuals.
- Overall the incremental difficulty and power ups made this really fun and entertaining. Great job!
- Btw I know AI code was allowed for the jam it is just a personal turnoff to see the influence of AI in the game.
