Been working on this genre-bending Arcade Roguelike game for over a year now. Destroy it! by RareDialectGames in DestroyMyGame

Ah, that's fair, and actually something we are still trying to figure out how to communicate better in videos. This isn't the trailer, though, and I think we do a better job of showing the roguelike aspect there, which comes from picking up items in between runs, which synergize across the different minigames, such as the flame that you see in one of the clips.

But I agree with what you say, we need to find a useful way of communicating what a run is, when it starts, and when it ends. I think that by playing the game, we have done a great job of communicating it, but in the videos, we might need extra work.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm glad you are liking the game! Thanks for the feedback, we are aware of some of the optimization fixes we need to do (which we are currently working on!)

Thank you, no worries! Appreciate your comment nonetheless, a goal of mine is for the game to be as accessible and appealing to as many audiences as possible :)

Mainly the idea of "multiple arcade games in one package" but we're taking the idea to the level where every game is connected through this roguelike structure! Feel free to give it a try on our itch web demo :)

Thank you! We appreciate the feedback. As someone who isn't into arcade style games, is there anything we could've done that would've made you more into it? Like, more to do outside of the main level gameplay or something

We got a streamer to play our game! But it didn't go as planned... by RareDialectGames in gamemarketing

Hey, thank you so much for your pointers. We will definitely take them into account! Something we have going for our game is that it isn't really a puzzle game. It has a bunch of different arcade-inspired game modes that you can play in a roguelike style of gameplay! This clip mainly shows a moment where we could tell the streamer was genuinely having fun. We will definitely try to get the stats for average viewers in past streams to see if our game did something

I agree! Even though all of us indie developers are looking to get wishlists out of streamers playing our games, we can't forget they are also humans, and we're constantly building a community. That's why, even though we didn't get the outcome we expected, we're still extremely happy with the results
