Link: Touch falling Orbs simulator - Roblox
I’ve just made a game where you touch orbs to gain cash, and I’m wondering what I should add to it/fix. It’s just been released, so don’t expect much!
As you said, this game has just been released so there isn’t much, but it does very much feel like a demo, an unfinished project. If you want this game to have a shot at becoming popular, you’ll need to add a fair few things:
Progression:
- Re-balancing to make progression quick initially. Getting the first luck boost takes far too long.
- Add an orb index (showing all orbs that you have touched at least once and all that you have yet to find), which saves across sessions.
- Some sort of long-term goal that will keep players coming back to try to obtain. Abilities? Permanent character boosts? Up to you, but there should be something.
- Don’t (ghost) cap the luck collected by running through orbs at 350. You can make it more difficult to increase luck the higher it is, but there should not be a cap.
- Add more (unique) orbs! I played for a while and only got to “Irregular” worth $5. Not sure if there is more after that, but I played for a while and didn’t find any (see the slow progression point).
Clarity:
- Add the value of each orb to its BillBoardGUI, so that it is clear how much money you will earn when touching it.
- Add Labels to the Numbers displayed at the bottom of the screen. It look me about 5 minutes to realise that the green number was luck.
- Make it clearer what the boosts are actually doing. How much is the “rate” increasing by. Is a rate of 7 7/s? Same this with the capacity, what is the capacity. How much is luck being increased? This should all be displayed in the upgrade boards.
- What marbles can you get (see “index” suggestion in the progression section)
Polish:
- A proper map will be needed at some stage
- Add some kind of indicator showing how much was earned when touching an orb (a little +$1 or +$5 etc popping up on the screen)
- Give the orbs a little floating animation
- Ensure the orbs are spawning evenly. For some reason they currently only spawn on one side of the map
