As far as fun goes, the mechanics were pretty good, but nothing stood out to me about it. The puzzles failed to explore the mechanics fully, opting for an easy, throw workers in this direction then that direction. The movement itself was, of course, flawless, but it failed to make itself interesting and creative. My rating: 4 stars.
Not a whole lot of innovation going for this one. Sure, the game worked great, but it didn't bring anything new to the table. My rating: 3 stars.
The theme was... not that great this year. It left a lot of people using pretty much the exact same game ideas, and yours wasn't that different. However, it did fit the theme to a T. My rating: 4.5 stars.
The graphics.... Well done, my friend. Well done. Hats off to you. It looks amazing. My rating: 5 stars.
The audio was pretty darn good, although there's no praises to be singing about it. My rating: 4 stars.
The mood was great, although a variety in the mechanics would have greatly contributing to making the mood complete. My rating: 4.5 stars.
Overall, I think that this is a very good execution. For Ludum Dare, this is absolutely a quality game, and holds some of the best qualities of a successful game. Unfortunately, it didn't have a whole lot of innovation to its name, and the mechanics lacked the variety and intrigue to make the good qualities truly stand out. My rating: 4.5 stars.
Good job, good luck, and happy game development!
Cheers,
The Koala Squad.
I have mixed feeling about this game. As Koala Squad noted, the puzzles were a bit lame (this is a problem I have myself!) The monsters were more skill-based than puzzle-based. However, the mood and art were great, the music a bit boring but good. Overall, great game! Good job.
