Feedback Highlights

Some of the most valuable feedback we received from our playtesters pertained to our UI. Specifically, the old UI was too small, didn’t scale well, and was difficult to easily interpret and understand. To address these problems, we overhauled the UI to better keep track of the player’s cool downs, health, and item collection status. In addition to the UI, one thing we heard many players mention was the lack of interactivity with the environment and aliens. To address these problems, we added a stun mechanic for the aliens, and implemented new ways to damage them. On the environmental interactivity side of things, we improved our suite of destructible and movable objects to better differentiate the tools that make each character unique and useful for different situations. 

Going Forward

Throughout the course of our next sprint, we plan on implementing a more consistent art style, fine tuning our controls, and refining our enemy and player mechanics to improve the game’s immersion for our next development build. Finally, to add more enemy variety and challenge, we are considering adding a larger boss alien to chase the player around on their quest to fix the escape pod and circumvent their doom.
