In response to
@Misu's review of my game:
I just wanted to reply to it, as I'm not sure he is aware of how much time I had available during the game jam:
Next time, be quicker with your entries, dedicate more into it and add as much as possible, otherwise, this is just a microgame for one of those Wario Games.
I put in a total of 16 hours development time because that was literally all the time I had available during the jam, due to work. All resources were created in that 16 hours. To be fair, I could've been a little quicker, had I given up on the camera engine that I got stumped on for a couple hours for no reason (and I don't think anyone noticed the camera anyway), but even though I could have scrapped that for a less smooth camera to save time for other things, I think I did pretty well with the amount of time. I was actually very serious about making it as good as I could with the time I had. All the things you said in your review that I should've added, I could've added if I had what would be equivalent to a second day free during the jam. I could've made levels, music, and even a few enemies with difficulty raising each level. Not to mention I had plans to make houses get destroyed a little differently with a sort of regenerative bar to prevent a certain
exploit feature, etc.
Obviously, I'm not expecting - or wanting - anyone to rank my game higher because of the limited time I had. But what I am expecting is a little more understanding with people's expectations and their reviews. I'm a working adult with lots of responsibilities. I'm not a teenager with a weekend to kill (though I really wish I was).
But in any case, I'm still thankful for the review and glad to see someone so dedicated to giving useful feedback to everyone and urging others to do the same.
EDIT: Eh, does this come off as a bit whiny though? Apologies if it does. Maybe I'll shut up on this stuff in the future and just suck it up. After all, in the world of game development, how many of us can say people see our games (and the work that went into them) exactly as we want or expect them to?
