Ultimate Showdown

Good:

Overall, I feel I did rather good for this compo. I came up with my game idea and expanded on it by using some of the themes that didn’t get chosen to improve it. I had very few bugs this time around that I actually had trouble solving so little stress there.

I even found myself planning features to add in updates once I was finished to make it more fun.

Bad:

Unfortunately, I think there was more bad than good this time around. I spent a lot of time adding that fine polish to try and cover most of the things people would normally complain about. By doing this I neglected to actually make the game fun in an engaging way. It’s basically just a simple arcade game.

I also didn’t have the time or the desire to make time to rate 200 games like I have been in the past. As such I am basically trading 1 vote for 1 vote. I managed to hit 20 but I doubt I’ll get any real review or love for my game.

I can see why people want to take away the rating system. It makes it so you have motivation to put in your best effort, but it also makes it sad when you don’t get any love. This also seems to make comments and rating very quick and cookie cutter.
