Game Feedback Needed (REVIVE THE WORLD!)

Last week I finished creating a game for a game jam where the theme was “Protecting Life On Land” and “Reducing Carbon Emissions”. Here it is:

If you have spare time pls play the game, I need constructive feedback so I can improve on my future projects.
(it only takes around 8 minutes to complete the game)

Novel idea, I have already completed the game. Here are the problems I encountered:

  1. The background lighting on the start screen is too bright.
  2. Some values might be off. Later I found that I didn’t need to pursue the ground; I just needed to save the trees, and I could basically complete the level.
  3. My camera goes dark when around the walls.
  4. There are gaps in the walls around the final level, and I fell into the water.

  • i feel like the thumbnails dont really say much about what the game is about
  • game description is formatted fine and looks good enough
  • donate ui looks generic like there isnt much going on for me to care to donate (even tho i just joined)
  • lighting in main menu is way too bright its like getting flashed banged by light mode
  • play and donate stroke could be increased
  • probably shouldnt be able to see the tool while in main menu
  • button text and title text of game look the exact same so there isnt much of a difference imo
  • spraying water on the ground to make flowers and change the ground from dirt to grass is cool pretty
  • upgrade ui needs a rework aswell
  • i find that after a few mins of playing that the game didnt really actually have objectives to go for other than mindlessly watering, i’d rather play something like a mining game is cause it atleast has that dopamine factor of finding new rare ores mining for larger number and repeat…
  • not too far into the game but i feel like there will be a problem where its gonna be tedious to walk back and forward to the npc to where i should be growing if i was really deep into the game (so a menu that you can toggle within your screen would probably just be a solution for this instead)

the game seems promosing tho

This game seems like it has potential but from what I’ve seen

  • The Scientists Idle animation seems too fast
  • It’s hard to read the upgrades UI

  • There should be a tutorial at the start of gameplay

Absolutely terrific game idea, amazing work. Only thing i noticed is that sometimes, the NPCS get stuck on things, mostly the scientist. And also, super short. IMO, this game has too much potential to be 8 minutes of gameplay, please expand it

I finished the game. Love it, quite satisfying, very wholesome. Short enough where it’s not too repetitive. I like the boss fight.

Some notes:

  • I didn’t realise there are other upgrades since I had to scroll down. Maybe could make that clearer somehow
  • I didn’t actually seem to need any other upgrades, other than the watering can.
  • The watering can upgrade didn’t seem especially useful? Wasn’t clear what actually improved each level
  • Would be amazing if there was more control over what areas get watered, so you could fill in areas entirely easier than having to face and position your character a certain distance while watering
  • The tree watering/growth is cool - but I feel it should be more rewarding when you finish one. Maybe it plays a little sound and contributes a bit more to the overall %?
