Title: Feedback appreciated: a turn-based roguelike platformer: Clean Space Corporation
Post by: whimpower on July 19, 2024, 03:41:10 PM
Hello all!

I tried to develop a game idea that would be somewhat original and something I would personally want to play. The result is a turn based platformer with randomized maps, exploration, some puzzle-solving and a little bit of toilet humor. I am a big fan of classic roguelike games like Nethack and Moria and there are some ideas stolen from those also.

The game was developed with MonoGame and it supports Windows 10/11, Linux x64 and Linux arm64. A free demo is downloadable in itch.io with name "clean space corporation". All feedback is appreciated!

The game's premise is unique and has potential. It reminds me slightly of Dust Force in that it is rare for janitorial services to be turned into the setting for a game.

I liked the CRT-like and chromatic aberration post-processing effect you used.

The music also had some good energy to it.

The splash screen art of the astronaut is also quite well drawn/painted.

However, it'd be good to have keyboard controls too and not just mouse controls.

Also, when I tried the game, your procedural generation system made the second level impossible to get through as far as I could tell. The terrain seemed impassible.

The game feels incomplete and I'm guessing that it indeed is and that you may have moved on to other things by now. I just felt like giving you some feedback anyway though, to be supportive of fellow creative people.

Good effort and best of luck!
