Ok yeah that's fair! I guess to me, the maker, it is simple - but not as much to fresh eyes.
I could see how it could be slowed down to be more strategic, but yeah my personal preference was to make something fast-paced with quick decisions!
I was also hoping the player would be able to pick up on the mechanics just by playing, instead of having to read a paragraph beforehand.
So the thought process would be something like: "Oh when I pick up a coin, it starts losing value, so I need to move quickly! If I step on the red tiles, all coins start losing value quickly, so I need to avoid them. Ah, when I exchange more coins at once, the multiplier shown for each coin is higher, so I need to balance time spent gathering coins with trying to exchange more at once"
Then once completing the run, they would be motivated to get a better rank since they understand the rules. But if that didn't happen, it's the game's fault, not the player's!
I appreciate the conversation - it will help me make better stuff in the future!
Thanks! I did add a quick rules screen at the beginning to explain how to play. Just curious, which parts didn't make sense? Not that I can change it now of course, but just curious!
This reminds me of Javidx9's submission last year where it is just really hard Tetris xD When the board changed it did throw me a bit and caused me to press the wrong buttons a few time. The Tetris gameplay basics are well implemented!
Lol this is hilarious. I couldn't figure out how to let the passengers out, but it was fun figuring out how to control the bus and crashing in to things
Kind of crazy you made this on your phone!? Nice job. I got to the end and then broke the game by going out of bounds, but it let me scroll back and forth and admire the very nice scenery :D
Wow, that was sweet! I actually downloaded your source code because I want to learn all the tricks! I love seeing what people are able to do with PGE3!
Wow this looks incredible! Nice work! I'd love to see the source code for how you utilized PGE3!
I'm also glad you posted the link to the place you got your shaders. I want to learn more about how to use them and that site has lots of cool tutorials.
