Quite hard to take in hand but absolutely amazing ! I like this game !
I don't have my pc to test it but it looks pretty good and also the trailer is good idea maybe I should do it for GMTK Game Jam 2025,keep going!!
Interesting idea! Didn't get the mechanics at first, but on the second playthrough I figured out what the weight numbers above the scale meant. Once I understood, I completely ignored the text and focused only on the scale. Might be nice to somehow integrate the text and weights together. Presentation is great though, absolutely love the 'You got served' voice line!
Yeah this was incredibly creative. Why can't I have ideas this good 😂 love the "scale = balancing scales" takes on the theme, and this was certainly the funniest I've played so far.
I would love to see the scales be made more prominent - I understand why they are where they are, but I found myself focusing on the problem queue text rather than the scales, when I wasn't reading the problems!
The problems themselves worked really well as random generation. There's a bit of jank, but that only adds to the experience! Plus, the push/pull between having to read the problems and respond to them quickly enough creates some really interesting gameplay - I did not think I'd be playing a game that tested me on my reading speed ;)
Great job, loved it. I didn't mention the framing yet, which is arguably the best part of the game - being assigned as the judge of all things via email is excellent!
Bursting into laughter playing this. Some of the stuff is too funny. I like that the game doesn't take itself too seriously. Stuff I found the funniest: The reject buttons "not rendering"
In all of the tomfoolery, there were some really cool design ideas. The problems piling up and creating tension, and the the object action subject being randomised (assuming thats what was happening).
I think that emulated the "JUDGE OF ALL THINGS" title very effectively.
Things that could use some improvement: Maybe some visualization to go with the text, to explain the magnitude and the actions faster? Could also use some pronounced indication of the problem list piling up.. maybe a stack of papers, or a line a people standing outside.
Cheers!
Very funny! Wait, are words random?
Yes they are!
Love the pixel art background and the music. The theme is really interesting! I liked the silly prompts that you had to preside over but stopped paying attention to them when it seemed like the scales were the only thing that mattered. Maybe I don't fully understand how it works but just alternating between guilty and not guilty got me quite far.
Would love to see a bigger game out of this. Kinda reminds me of a galactic Papers Please
Lovely art and music! Excellent framing device and setting for a larger game.
