Best Games of October Review! (with video feedback for devs)

Posted by FutureCopLGF - November 6th, 2020



Every month I see to review all of the games that were nominated as the Best of that month, which you can view in the link above!


As a game developer myself, I know how difficult it can be when you are starting out and how tricky it can be to tell how your game will be received by users. After all, you know how your game is meant to be played, and you can't just wipe that from your memory when you're building and testing it!


Therefore, I record myself playing all of the games for the first time for 10-15 minutes and try to voice how I'm feeling when I'm playing it, so that developers can see how a user might experience their game for the first time, especially for things like tutorials. I also try to provide some advice as well, but it might not always be the best: what I'm really hoping is that developers can draw their own conclusions on what might need work from how I stumble through their game.

MY PERSONAL ARBITRARILY-RANKED TOP 10 GAMES OF OCTOBER


My top 10 was (in sort-of ranked order and based on my own criteria which is some weird sense of 'memorability' for me personally and totally subject to genres I like though I try not to be too bias blah blah blah):












With some honorable mentions to:





Cheers to all the game devs this month: even if you weren't listed above, I still love playing all of the games made (and hopefully, my bumbling can help make even better ones)!

Thanks for the video!

Cool new stuff!

thanks for the review

Thanks for playing through my game! The controls are definitely a mixed bag as I was experimenting with more puzzle like movement while having smooth controls (aligns to the grid and can only make 2 tile turns). For that last part, the puzzle-y part was to actually go straight first and loop around the other way, but the controls are frustrating enough to get in the way of the puzzle-y parts. I'll probably be updating the game with an actual polish pass at some point in the future to address much of the frustrations - thanks again!

I felt really silly when I went back and did the maze: dunno why it didn't occur to me to go down and loop to the right so it'd put me on the right track. Once I did that, bam, got the trophy! That's the issue when trying to do feedback at the same time as playing: clearly I lose a few brain cells, haha!

@aeveis @FuturecopLGF This took a while but the game has had a polish pass I've put out. Thanks again!
