Hi medi!
Firstly, you should introduce yourself in
this thread.
You should also post a screenshot and short description of your game, so that people know what it's about. It's hard to get people interested without pictures.
Now to the game itself, I tried to run it, but it crashed. After some tinkering, I installed XNA Redistributable and it ran fine. It would be nice to have it exit gracefully instead of crashing.
The game involves trying to draw line shapes inside a physics game. You click on a particular part of an object in the game, and it traces a path as it moves. The goal is to match the path trace with the one requested by the game.
- First of all, good job on coming up with an interesting idea. I think that you could use it as a foundation for a compelling puzzle game.
- The art style is minimalistic and effective. I thought that it fit the game well, though you might want to consider colour choice. Right now it appears somewhat random.
- You should tell the player that SPACE restarts the current level. It's boring to wait for the current level to complete each time you want to see what happens.
- I had trouble getting some of the paths recognized by the game. Sometimes my path was close, but not quite the same. It was tedious to hunt around for the right spot to click after I essentially solved the puzzle.
- I thought that the game was too easy. A good puzzle looks hard, but gives the player an "aha!" feeling when they see the solution. In this game, I felt like I was just hunting for the right spot to click. The challenge was observation more than thinking.
- I think the biggest issue with the game is that it's not really interactive. The player has one choice that they make: where they click. The rest of the game is watching the consequences of that choice. This doesn't really use the capabilities of the medium - you should give the player something to do while the physics is happening or tighten the interaction loop somehow. For one thing, you could give the player the ability to affect the physics simulation. That would definitely spice things up.
