Factory Reset nicely fits the theme, things go wrong all the time while both players compete in asymmetric warfare.
The team focused on delivering core mechanics at first, basic game loop was completed before half of the game jam had passed. Having time to polish the game mechanics, animation, and sound paid off, resulting in smooth yet chaotic gameplay. Having a tutorial in place and a balance option favoring one of the players was a nice plus.
Game presentation was in the form of a live demo, which can be a risky approach, especially when one developer simultaneously showcases gameplay of both sides. Some mechanics were demonstrated multiple times while other were barely touched. And I did enjoy the presented backstory. Who is the bad guy after all?
Congratz for the third place!
