The Heron and the Fish

Review by Nabio all reviews by Nabio
Overall: 3/5
The game is a bird that needs to eat all fish in a limited time. Contrary to the story's bird, which didn't eat any fish. It reminded me of "feeding frenzy" with a simpler mechanic. Keeping that in mind, this game was also arcade style and current implementation of this game has potential to implement complexer mechanic, or rewards to build on the idea. However at this implementation, there is not much to do, which gets a score of 3 in sense that it can be improved and it managed to implement all the elements, considering the limitted time of the game jam.
Artistical: 2/5
Although it has the fable style and a rainbow colored snail, there doesn't seem that enough is paid attention on other element of the game. Like the bird and fish don't have transparent background. The snail can be (and mostly be skipped), so one rule of the game wont be visible unless you fail the game.
Technical:2/5
The game doesn't invent or try a new mechanic. The current mechanic is simple however can be expanded and worked on.
The chart at the end is also a good implementation of the rules of the game jam. Although not enough time is let for the player to eat fish, to get a meaningful chart result.
Genre: 3/5
The game is arcady and I can see, if developed it can become a good time killing game, that requires skill. If deployed on a mobile device it can be a nice way to kill a few minutes while waiting in a queue.

Overall: 5/5
This game was one of the best games. Considering its simple mechanic, still it was probably the most polished gamein the enteries. The game is fun and addictive enough to become a f2p game.
Artistic 4/5
It both has animals as "characters" and baloon for speech. On the downside it doesn't seem to have a story as in fable style, as in some other entries do have. The graphics are 8 bit, but could be improved a bit.
Technical 5/5
It has the chart, that although difficult to understand at the first glance, however is pretty informative of the progress on the game, so is useful.
Genre 4/5
I felt the game progresses too fast and becomes very difficult too fast. which can be good and bad, but for me added to difficulty. It could retain score, or have a way to get extra lives.
