Daisy Chain Defense's itch.io pageJudge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- Your game is engaging fun with a solid theme and simple mechanics. The parallax stars add a great sense of depth, and the “one chance” concept fits the theme well with the earth. I especially liked how the rocket explosions helped with gameplay during intense moments. However, the spinning camera around Earth made me feel dizzy—consider keeping the camera focused on Earth to reduce this effect. Also, your GDD could benefit from a cleanup; there are typos and leftover content from the earlier GDD that create confusion. A clearer, updated GDD will better support your game design skill.

Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes
Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes
Summarize your game!
Space shooter where you defend earth with space nukes. Go around the planet with complex numbers dropping bombs that can chain together. Stopping aliens.
Please explain how your game fits the theme.
You're the only one who can defend the planet.
It takes only one hit for you and the planet to be goners.
And it takes only one explosion to set off a chain reaction.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
moving with q & e, c & v where I used complex numbers

your entry is disqualified for being submitted to multiple jams.
oh, was that a rule?
Where was that posted?
It's not something that is explicity stated. However we regularly get games submitted which are not genuine attempts for our jam. Being in another jam is usually an indicator of this. Given the size of your game, the state of your game design document, and the questionable implementation of the theme, we concluded that this is likely not a genuine entry. Either you completed the entire game within the one day of overlap between the two jams, which is not within the spirit of the jam since we give two weeks, or it is not a genuine submission to at least one of the two jams.
I heard about the jam late and started late. I was following the heartbeast tutorial before but for my actual game I started on the last day of the Pirate software game jam, and saw that the GMTK game jam started and the theme lined up with the game I was already gonna make so I was like ok, why not. I'll make the game for this jam, then modify it and submit a more complete version for GMTK, but on the night before the GMTK jam I was tired, and things weren't significantly different so I decided to just submit the thing I already uploaded cause why not and if I woke up before 1 PM I'd work on stuff more.
I have git commits as receipts. And if I knew it was a rule I would have acted differently, but idk, just seems unfair to me.
I have requalified your game. I'd recommend making one game per jam for next time.
Understood, thank you.
The star background looks awesome, and the gameplay is fun! I think the Earth could use a bit more HP—it gets one-shotted too easily.
Duly Noted. Glad to hear you think it's fun. And thanks, I was rather happy with the parallax on the stars.
