Collecting Feedback for Block Annihilator is fun!


Firsts things first, i received some feedback on Block Annihilator and i am generally satisfied with it. 

There were a few guys that were dismissive, there were some people that where really constructive. And there were people just telling me to bug off :) 
And i am thankful to all of them! And I would like to receive more feedback in larger volume.

So the two main points that i took from 2 weeks of my game being out there in the wild are:

  1. You do not price Block Annihilator 15$ !!!!
  2. Block Annihilator needs new features to stand out.

Now i already taken action on the first point and set Block Annihilator to be Pay What You Want As i said in my previous devlog.
I am earning enough on my day job so money is not my primary motivation for making games. 
Money is not even primary motivation for me on my day job.

My motivation here is to get people to play and have fun.  And if I can monetize the fun i am having playing and developing games, great, and if not also great. 

And on the topic of making Block Annihilator stand out i have multiple new ideas of my own and some ideas that people gave me on along the way.

So some of possible improvements  i got out of the i collected so far are:

  • The options screen needs to play music in order to be able to actually balance the volume levels. (LOL i actually forgot to do this)
  • The game feels a bit monotonous in the beginning.
  • Useful power-ups are too "useful" and should be timed .
  • Bricks could move down the screen to create more urgency.
  • Bricks  could fight back.
  • Initial ball speed is to low.
  • A multiplayer vs and coop would be cool, now i must think about this this sounds like fun but a bit way to complicated for my skills at the moment.

Also a really funny thing happened.  

I asked on the Instagram what does this look like to you as i just randomly added blocks to this level and one of my flowers answered instantly:

"Looks to me like someone serving two trays of cold ones 🍺😊🍺" 

And it struck me then, yeah, that is it! It does look like couple of cold ones!

And to end this digression so my next steps will be:

  1. Collecting more feedback
  2. Sorting out feedback
  3. Implementing new stuff!
