My game Ranked 1st place in the 220 Jam on Itch for fun! I’m so happy with the result!

Congrats!

Downloading the demo now.

Brutally honest feedback greatly appreciated

I just gave it a blast.

Positive:

  • I like the speed of the main character, and the movement felt right.
  • The feedback mechanisms (at least visually) for combat were satisfying
  • The tone/style is distinct, and quite pleasing in a murky, cyberpunk/industrial way

Less positive:

  • The UI is not immediately readable/clear
  • The scene is quite dark - not always easy to see what’s going on
  • The music is very full on, very quickly: it’s quite a jarring ‘launch’!
  • I know it’s a demo but it’s not clear what my objective is (I assume just smashing shit up!)
  • The audio feedback on combat wasn’t as effective as the visuals

Having some kind of combo/flow/score system for the combat would add a lot, I think.

Going to be adding a scoring system, there actually is a dynamic difficulty with the changing icons that affects rank. Going to have to clean that up.
