Great concept and decent mechanics, but could us improvements
For reference: I’m about to give some critiques, but I’m one guy, and no professional. Additionally, I’m not trying to hate on the game, I’m just trying to give a list of things the developers might want to keep in mind for the future.
To start:
- some UI readjustments could be useful. I know a big “watch add” button will deter lots of people, so maybe hide it in a menu, such as the pause or game over menu.
- visuals are pretty good, but could be better. Even the smaller things, like making the fire on the ships a particle type system, or adding some shadows to the boulders, can make the biggest difference.
- the controls are a bit jerky, and some smoothing, or alternate control schemes would be nice
- some gameplay differences would keep interest longer, and changing some stats on different ships souls five people something to grind towards.
- the reticle of the ship is useful, but like the controls, it kinda bounces all over the place
- adding some small screen effects, such as green on the edges when you pick up an item, or a transparent red flash when you take damage, would be nice
- finally, having some sort of shield l, or multi life system would make the game play a little more engaging
Again, please don’t take this negatively. This is a great game, especially for how recently it was released. I hope for your success.
