Please give feedback on my first video game, a short Chernobyl-inspired piece

Hi everybody!

I want to thank Ben & Rick for creating an awesome Unity 2D course! I had never done a graphical game before in my life, but after watching just ~35% of the course I got brave enough to take part in GMTK 2020 game jam, and even have created & submitted a game before the daunting 48 hours deadline!

I think the most useful takeaway from the course was not just Unity tips & tricks, but the idea to design the game before coding and focus on core gameplay first— without that, I’d never release anything in time!

Please find the game here https://dkorduban.itch.io/supercritical , it’s a short (~3.5 min) experience about life of Soviet nuclear reactor operator. I would be extremely thankful if you rate it here https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/694930, if you can.

Big thanks to Ben, Rick, and all the community again! You are truly inspiring!
P.S. Fellow GMTK 2020 jammers, please share your games as well :slight_smile:

Taking into consideration the fact that it is your first experience in game development, I must say that it is not bad at all, it is pretty good actually. Are you still working in this domain? I mean, do have some other, newer projects that you are working on? I would actually like to see something new from you, to se how you are developing in this domain. I guess the 2D games have to be only the beginning. I hope you won’t give up, and reach the level of creating games that we will be looking to buy on different sites, just like https://www.cdkeysforgames.com/games/steam-games/destiny-2-beyond-light/, and many others.
