its good but it seems to be moving in all directions at the same time, maybe focus on having wind that is mostly one-way.

Relatively shameless crosspost!  Feeling pretty happy with the menus now - the hints on the hint screen are a little out of date, but that's fine for now. |

BWHAAAOOOOM!  The individual pieces look great, but I think maybe with some different timing it could have more impact. Maybe having the damage animation play as soon as the fire hits them, or maybe if they continue to shake and take damage for the length of the flame attack might help. Just updated the death animation for our game. Watching the video got me to realize it pops a bit and ends up of center, but other than that i'm pretty happy with it.  That is some really nice aniticipation :O  OMFG it is a AoT game and it looks freaking awesome. Please shut up and take my money already |

I really think these types of tutorials are way too intrusive and annoying. I know what the game is about and the concept wasn't hard to understand. Most successful mobile games don't do this either because they know people aren't stupid. The animation itself is also a bit too overdone. |

That's a bit harsh I think. Tutorials ended up like that because publishers employ play testing. They didn't just tack them on because they thought players were stupid. They are exactly as as long and persistent as they need to be to retain the most players. It's that simple. And the concept isn't trivial. I made a game very similar to that a few years ago and provided no tutorial. Not many people 'got' it. It definitely needs a tutorial or a very (very) gradual ramp. |

Most successful mobile games don't do this either because they know people aren't stupid. The animation itself is also a bit too overdone. I have just the thing for you - click the "skip" button! My (admittedly anecdotal) research suggests the opposite, every game that I admire uses FTUE strategies to guide new players through the nuances of the game, after all you don't know just who is playing - one of my focus groups are "little old ladies" and I tell you what, they really need these systems, in fact one of the problems I have is getting the font big enough without making it ugly for everyone else. It's more than just a tutorial, the character helps brand the game, it helps drive home the theme, I mean check out his badass knitting needle pointer, and button monocle! We want him to be synonymous with Button Up! to the point where people will see a well dressed old man and think of the game. Directed @Torchkas (ed.)

If I left out the "extraneous" stuff like this I would have been finished at prototype! |
