Feedback on my beta "Hunger Games" game!

I MADE A NEW POST!
(I UPDATED THE GAME)

Hey guys, i recently made a game so i was wondering if you guys could give me feedback on it.

Like the title says it’s REALLY new so don’t expect much, also the “Tutorial” button is being implemented and so is a function for the Cash.

Enough said here is the game:

Interesting game!
Its amazing you made this game in 3 days and got this result so far!
However there a lot of major things you need to fix for the game.
Gameplay:
I find the gameplay really boring since the goal of this game is just to “open chests and fight off another players”. You could try adding like a event round or game modes or something unique from the other game to make your game looks interesting and more enjoyable

I noticed that most of the weapons are free models such as the Rocket laucher or Sword. I understand that this game is prototype but you should consider these system to be improved.

Finally the map. While im running around. I noticed that your map lacks a little bit of detail. And you should make a consideration on adding more details to make the map looks more colorful. (Also you could try adding a map selecting system. Since some map gives unique advantages and came make a game a bit more challenging!)

Just some additions, I feel like your game should add more on UI’s and transitions. That could make a really good effect!

Overall, thats a very good game that I have tried in a month and Im really happy to see developers start making fun games! However I can understand that the game is currently in Prototype which is not fully open for plays so you just need reviews. Which in my opinion is that you should follow on what i have given you on the top. You could try looking at one of the Hunger games in Youtube and try getting some good aspects on each top hunger games… Example, I like the video i sent to you because of the enviroment and their combat system.

I hope this reviews can help improving your game!

Add some effects, improve the lighting, add some fun things to the lobby and make these pillars broken as it would look that it’s a fighting arena.

Make this at the bottom or above the screen it’s almost in the middle.

Make some use of cash and the Tutorial was not working.

Add more weapons with effects, add a few events to the game, if possible animating the character would also be great, and add more details to the map so it doesn’t look empty. Also, add shift to run feature.
Also, you can improve the UI as it looks plain.
Thumbnails can be improved too.

Lastly, I must say you completed this game in just 3 days is impressive and shows how dedicated you are! The game idea is very amazing and fun to play and also the output of the game is very good. This game can go viral if you advertise it properly and add more features to it.

Thank you so much for the review! Ill make sure to do as you listed! :hugs::+1:

As a THG fan, you should add survival aspects, at the end the hardest part of Hunger Games was survival, that made it good, also you can add, if you have time, some sort of modes, you could choose Capitol mode where you influence game, for example you can obtain points that you can spent to summon events ect. and HG mode where you fight on the arena

Anyways good luck

Yes i’m sorry i was afk if someone was playing if you could rejoin iwould explain idk if it was you but i felt so bad. :sweat_smile: Thank you for your feedback! [(NinjaFactory) i was afk if yo uare reading this.]

I didn’t play for very long (no one to play with except for you but you were AFK), but I played for about 3 rounds. It seems that a lot of people here have already said what I would’ve said, so I’ll just quote them here and build upon thier feedback.

I definitely agree here. I haven’t really seen any other Hunger Games games on Roblox (I’ve only heard of some on Minecraft). Assuming that you may have been inspired by the version on Minecraft, you have to understand that the gameplay of your own version doesn’t have to be a one-for-one remake. I’m not saying you’re game is just a copy by the way,! Roblox is a different platform than Minecraft, so you’ll have to adapt the game to fit Roblox’s age group, general genre preferences, etc.

For example, take the Easy.gg’s BedWars. BedWars is a popular game from Minecraft, and makes up the base of the game’s gameplay. However, they spiced it up a bit, adding things such as emerald armor, special items, special gamemodes, different upgrades, etc etc.

Maybe you could try playing games similar to your Hunger Games game, and try seeing what makes them enjoyable.

I agree–these things are very important. You want to create a nice atmosphere and give players things to do while in the lobby waiting or after dying. My advice would be to create a queue system if games would take too long (you don’t want your players to leave because they’re bored). This, or you allow players to interact with the game even after they’ve died. Maybe they could be ghosts, and they can mess with players.

In the end, this really depends on your target audience (U13?)

Yeah, I think this would definitely help, because I felt like the game didn’t have enough weapons. Also, you said that there wasn’t an economy for coins yet, so maybe weapon effects and skins could be something you could purchase.

Yes, thumbnails are incredible important, because they are a player’s first impression of a game on a recommendations page, i.e. the page most conductive to a game’s success. Maybe you could get screenshots on the game with the players in set positions, or find some other way to improve your thumbnails

No problem! I love giving feedback to new games! I hope your game finds success! Lmk if you have any questions at all.

Yes, i’m not really good at thumbnail making so i made those with ai ofc so i was wondering if you know how perhaps make them better? I dont have robux so i wanted to find a free way and i just found ai. How should i make them? Are the ones i already made good enough if not how sohuld i improve? :hugs:Thank you so much for your feedback and most importantly for responding!

I’m not sure how best to explain the process, but I’ll try.

With your thumbnails, you want to showcase your game in the best way possible, while not making any false promises. Maybe you’d want to take a (high-resolution, 1920x1080!) screenshot of you playing with your friends during a particularly exciting battle, then slap on your game’s logo in the top right corner. If you’re low on resources, then this is a decent replacement for a professional GFX.

The best app to create thumbnails can be Canva., photopea or pixlr.
Here is the tutorial how to do it-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsRna_T-gN0

Some issues I found:

  • At the moment, it’s possible for one player to force the match to go on forever by hacking/glitching out of the map and hiding somewhere that the other players can’t get to (or for two friends to sit in the game forever after eliminating every other player). To prevent this, I think you should add a match timer that will end the game after 10 minutes or so (or however much time would be considered unusually long for a match in your game).
  • If all but one player leaves during the intermission, the timer will still count down and start a match. Since there’s only one player left, though, it will end immediately and award that player the win.
  • You can drop the sword with backspace (probably the other weapons as well but I didn’t test them). This might be intended though.
  • The paintball gun’s projectiles are quite jittery. I fired a straight shot at another player at medium-close range and the paintball was jittering up and down so much that it hit the ground early.

Thank you for your feedback:

  • I am working on a timer so that this doesn’t work. :+1:
  • This is intentional as there was a bug that was breaking every game, unfortunately.
  • I didn’t know about this? Thank you for letting me know :rofl:
  • The PaintballGun was not made by me unfortunately but i try and fix it :+1:
    Overall thank you so much!
