Game Feedback
Overall Thoughts
Overall, I thought Tegel Fall was a good game, and I really enjoyed the retro art style. The gameplay is very similar to classic games like Tetris, I really liked the construction theme. I thought that was a very creative way to take a familiar concept and make it feel different.
The construction and inspection mechanics actually gave me another reason to keep playing. You want to keep passing inspection and see how far you can get, which I thought was a really cool way to keep the player engaged.
I also really liked how each level ends with the inspection. I thought that was a creative way to finish each level instead of simply moving on to the next one.
The budget idea was another thing I thought was really great because it allows you to buy more pieces and I feel like that was a unique addition.
Cons / Suggestions
1. Music
The first thing that stood out to me was the lack of music.
Iām not sure if there is a specific reason why the game doesnāt currently have music, but personally, I donāt enjoy playing games without music. I checked the options menu to see if there was a way to turn music on, but unfortunately, I couldnāt find one.
Because I was streaming the game, I ended up playing background music during my stream. That music is not included in the VOD for a couple of reasons, so youāll be able to experience the game as it currently is when watching the VOD.
Personally, I think adding music that fits the retro/construction theme would make the game feel more complete and add more personality to the experience.
2. Tutorial / More Detailed Instructions
I also think a short tutorial or instructions page would be helpful for first-time players.
I did notice that there are tips shown between screens, which I appreciated. However, when I encountered the gray boxes, I wasnāt immediately sure what they meant or what I was supposed to do with them.
I eventually figured out that those pieces cannot be flipped, but having a short tutorial at the beginning explaining the basic mechanics would make the game easier to understand for new players.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I enjoyed the game.
The inspection system, budget mechanic, and construction theme all work together to give you a reason to keep playing. But again my biggest recommendations would be adding music and possibly a short tutorial for new players. I think those additions would give the game a little more polish and make the experience even better. Keep up the good work.
