Den and the 9 Kings

Art

What I like about the Art

  1. I like the paper art style
  2. I love the little animation the grey fox makes when you hit it with paint. You’re not meant to hit it and I think it’s a really nice touch that you added.
  3. I like the paint meter, but it’s such a similar color to many of the surroundings that I think having it a different color could be good. (Also the display order should be higher so it’s still behind the fox but is higher than the trees or walls)
  4. I like the waffle stand.

What about the Art could be better

  1. Some things need more detail. For example, the Fire at the beginning could be a lot better
  2. The paintbrush doesn’t fit the style of the game.
  3. The Walls should be different, they don’t match the style of the game
  4. The hands and buildings also don’t match the style of the fox. Overall I think the game needs a more consistent art style between all the objects

Art Score: 5


Fun

What about the game is Fun

  1. I think you could have a really clever story when the game is finished.

What aspects could be changed to make it more Fun

  1. There isn’t a lot to do. It is clear the game is pretty unfinished (I do hope it gets finished, I think it can be really good)
  2. A way to regain paint would be good.
  3. A way to see how much paint you currently have would be good.

Fun Score: 3


Sound

What about the Sound I like

  1. I think the music choice was good.
  2. The paint effect was chosen nicely

What parts of the Sound could be better

  1. I just think it needs more sound effects, but that is something that would be added after the main gameplay elements.

Sound Score: 5


Creativity

What I think is Creative

  1. I think it’s a really cool idea with an art style that could make it even better

What could be improved

  1. Nothing to really complain about, the game just needs to be finished.

Creativity Score: 6


Overall

Art Score: 5, Could be really good, just needs to be more consistent
Fun Score: 3, Could be really good when the game is finished
Sound Score: 5, Not a lot to go off of, but so far it was picked well.
Creativity Score: 6, I think it’s a really cool idea that I hope is finished

Final Score: 4.75

I think that’s kinda the point that den is using a real object as a weapon

It can still fit the art style

No. This is like complaining about real people’s faces being shown a bit for specific Family Guy jokes.

Art

What I like about the Art

  1. I like how if the “Start” button hits an enemy they die.
  2. I like the death effect of the enemies a lot, looks very nice.

What about the Art could be better

  1. I’m not crazy about the background.
  2. I think the text font could have been chosen better, and maybe the color.
  3. I would have preferred a custom HP bar over the basic bar.
  4. I don’t like using alerts. (Some select individuals will hate on me for not liking it, but I like games that reach their maximum potential, and refusing to make a game look better out of pure stubbornness is not healthy as a game dev)
  5. The blasts should be larger, it’s a bit hard to see them.

Art Score: 5


Fun

What about the game is Fun

  1. I just think the game is fun. Not sure what more to say.

What aspects could be changed to make it more Fun

  1. LMB does nothing? M takes you to the menu, but the other 2 don’t do anything.
  2. I wish the movement felt a little smoother to control

Fun Score: 6.5 Reminds me of CappsDev game,


Sound

What about the Sound I like

  1. I like the music choice.

What parts of the Sound could be better

  1. Movement needs a sound

Sound Score: 5


Creativity

What I think is Creative

  1. Not sure? I think this is a decently popular idea

What could be improved

Creativity Score: 4


Overall

Art Score: 5, I think it’s a good base, but it could definitely be better
Fun Score: 6.5, Idk, I just like this game (but movement could be better)
Sound Score: 5, Just needs a little more and to be more impactful
Creativity Score: 4, I think rn it’s pretty basic, but it could become unique.

Final Score: 5.125


Overall I like the game, just needs some polishing and a few new features.

I feel so bad reviewing these so late because now these devs are inactive :frowning: I’m really sorry I couldn’t review them sooner, maybe they would have still been here if they had a little more direction

Yes, I am. It’s taking a bit to review things because I’m doing things with my family for Christmas and working on my own game, but I will be getting to all these reviews when I can.
