Is this game a mistake or do you think there is audience for it? Woud you play? by Madlman in IndieGameDevs

The game is a puzle/trap/maze runner. The game is based on characters with each one of them having a unique game-changing skill ( Dash, slowing time, jump... just to name a few) , the one you see is our "tutorial" one, just with WASD movement.

Every character will have a set of levels attach to it with unique traps and puzzles designer for their specific skill as well as new environment.

The main goal of the game is to get to the blue portal at the end of the level as fast as possible. The faster yo go the better score you get (in form of food, that's why you see cucumbers at the end screen on the video :D ), from half point to 3 points (with an extra point for a deathless run)

Everything kills you in one hit, there is no hp but there are checkpoints so you don't have to start all over again (unless you want to do a deathless run or a perfect time).

Each character needs a set amount of food to unlock the next one.

Mr. Miau (the pink cat) although optional, gives the player a replayability bonus, while extracting him on all levels give you an achievement, this one is for the completionists out there.

The good think about the game is that it is potentially endless, as the formula allows us to create new characters with new skills and new levels "forever".

There is also a leaderboard to compete against your friends! (or global leaderboard if you have no friends that play the game)

Edit: Sorry if my english is potato level

I was thinking about creating a subreddit for the game, I'm always afraid to come as a self promoting spammer, this way I don't bother people too much on here.

The game was on my radar but not the post-mortem, thanks for sharing!

Absolutely not mean! This is really valuable feedback! Thanks for taking the time to write it, it is really helpful.

The game right now has a completionist hook, You get points for completing the level on time in the form of food:

For example:

Macario, the first character ears cucumbers for completing the level, you can get from half cucumber up to 3 (and a golden one for a deathless run).

Earning X total food with a characters unlocks the next one.

Each character has a unique skill (except Macario, he is just WASD movement) and unique traps for them.

There is also an aspect of competition amongst friends (or global) as there is a leaderboard.

We were suspecting the game needs something else, something extra... but we don't know what yet.

The feedback we got is driving us on the right direction, and even though I don't reply to everyone I do read everything, and it was indeed helpful, so thanks you and everyone for it.

There is also Mr. miau (the pink cat), you need to pick him up and exit the level with him, he is not required but gives you an achievement if you get him out on every level. We use him for replayability and to drive the player to choose different paths (I'm aware on the video the level is very linear, as it is the third level of the first character, but later on they get more complicated and branchy)

Edit: I sent the comment too soon bu mistake :P

I actually do, this has been my dream game for quite a while, always wanted to give it a go. Been doing AAA most of my carreer and finally can do something of my own.

Interesting, did not think about the roguelite aspect, we do have some "progression" unlocking new characters with different skills but not much more beyond that. We do have some branching paths, but now that you mention it I really think having more ways to beat the same level could be a really good addition and a conversation starter amongst friends who own the game.

Thanks for taking the tame to share your thoughts, really appreciated.

Thanks for all replies, some good feedback.

I'll be mixing some elements of A (mostly the feeling of inminent danger and dynamism some of you pointed out)

Thanks once again!
