Love the intro and the logo! Beating the moodslayer though is a bit underwhelming since it just restarts the game.
What is the pig guy that appears after 30 seconds? I don't understand it's role in the gameplay.
I enjoyed reading the devlog, it was pretty insightful, props on writing that!
Neat idea! The art and audio are great! I was confused what the bar at the top of the screen meant. I knew it was a timer of some sort - I think I have to kill the Doom guy before it runs out?
Dev here with an interesting note:
The original concept of this game is simply "Roles reversed, you're the bad-guy". We had a tangible player controller that you had to move around.
After we pivoted to just dropping in units, we realised we've also kinda put the player in the role of a game designer (or an encounter designer specifically).
Another one of the original pitches was a boss fight, but you're the boss and you have to attack the player in such a way that they *feel* excited, stressed, bored etc. We moved away from that cause who wants to program a weighting-based decision tree in a game jam? I'm really glad that initial idea of "your goal is to create gameplay" carried through
