P.I.S.

30분의 짧은 플레이타임이라고 써있긴 했지만 그래픽이 마음에 들어 구매한 게임이예요 정말 게임 시작하고 보이는 메뉴 조차도 글자없이 아름다운 음악과 그래픽이 전부이지만 그걸로 충분! 텍스트가 없어 무엇을 해야할지 어떻게 퍼즐을 풀어야할지 모르는 이들을 위한 힌트도 있고요 스샷을 찍으면 모든게 스포일러가 될 것 같아 찍지 않았지만 아트 정말 예뻐요! 추천!

The illustrations were very pretty but I felt like the lack of hotspots made the game a bit of a slog. I would highly recommend adding two 'quality of life' features, maybe making the pointer (wings) move a little when you hover over something interactive (both backgrounds and UI elements), as well as adding a glow to items when you hover them over those interactive spots. Now, sure it makes the game 'easier', but in my experience, whenever you have a chill puzzle game, having proper visual feedback is much better for pacing and overall enjoyment of the game. It took me around 35 minutes to finish, according to the store page there are multiple endings but I am not sure exactly what triggers them, or if the last panel I got was one of the endings (perhaps something to do with the mail?). On that note, make sure the screenshot (f12 by default) works within your games, it makes it more likely that your game will get noticed when people share them in the community. There is a hint system if you click on the 'Bell' multiple times which basically tells you how to beat the game if you are stuck, which is fine, but if you had good hotspots and visual feedback, you would not even need it. The game is easy, it's just unclear what you can and cannot click on. Otherwise just a pretty little puzzle game, it still feels like the dev has not figured out the perfect formula yet, but the backgrounds were very nice and it has those steampunk vibes to it. [h1] Pros: [/h1] (+) The backgrounds and coloring were very good, I believe original OST as well? (+) There supposed to be multiple endings, I only got one though (is it based on the mail number?) (+) Has a built-in hint system if you need it [h1] Feedback: [/h1] [u] Hotspots/Visual feedback: [/u] - with these games it's always a good idea to at least add some visual indicator when you hover over something, you can make the wings different color or make them flop up and down perhaps. If you worry about it making the game easier, you design the puzzles harder, but you keep the visual feedback on the mouse pointer, just makes the game feel good to play - also, when you hover items over something you can place them on, give them like a glow aura. On that note, the game needed more sound effects for interactions with the environment [u] Other: [/u] - add achievements for every ending perhaps - make sure F12 screenshot is working in the game [b] Overall Thoughts: 6/10 [/b] I thought the game looked very pretty and it had a curious world to explore, but I felt like it would be a much better experience if you had that visual feedback for hovering, it just makes a better game when you have it. If the main focus of your game is just chill puzzles and aesthetics, it's a good idea to make sure it flows very well and you don't have to needlessly click on everything -- food for thought. But $2 game or something, 35 minutes, so it's fine for the price. [code]Niche, obscure and underrated games: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/31294838-Hidden-Gem-Discovery/ [/code]
