Reborn----I am the king of APP by LDJam user 319166

[raw]
made by LDJam user 319166 for Ludum Dare 54 (JAM)

This is a solo work of a simple mouse-click game inspired by Q* and **chat, the greatest( shit in fact, they occupy almost the whole space of my phone) app in the world. A cellphone-addicted young man unfortunately died in a car crash. The god of cellphone offers him an option to reborn as a little application which dedicate s to be the king of APP and conquerer the human society.

Due to my noob skill of developement, I have no time to finish my ideas and also fail to present a descent UI for this game. you can follow my update on itch.(there should be something happens when the storage goes around 65%, but it is hard to reach.)I am not sure if you have problem on buttons. It's good on donwload version. There might be some proble with html5. For last thing, thank you for your playing!

Game need to be play in fullscreen. I am always struggling with these screen size problem in unity. I am grateful if you can give any suggestion on this problem.

It works for me even though the UI is slightly cut off at the top and bottom in fullscreen on my 1080p monitor, I assume you used a 1440p+ monitor for development. While the goal of the game is clear, it's not really clear to me what the different attributes affect and what causes which app to go up or down in storage space. Also, the typewriter effect on the text gets a bit annoying after a while, it would have been great if clicking the mouse instantly showed the whole text. This type of game doesn't require Unity either, if you are familiar with web development, this could be done with basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript too, which makes the screen scaling issue you mentioned much easier for example.

Games works fine here.
As you said it lacks a descent UI so we can track the current state of our app and know the risks behind the decisions

@likirus Thank you for your play and suggestion. Actually "the user" in game will install new apps or uninstall an app by a rank of a attribute(the choice of attribute is random) when there is only 45% - 1% storage available. However, due to my bad numeriacal planning, data grows too fast that this stage is skipped easily in most stituation.
And it is only idea in my mind, unity is the only tools i know a bit.. so there is large amount things that I need to learn.

The idea is interesting, but as it has been said I have more issue to know what should I really do and what are the effects of my decisions. I clearly feel that it was hard to show what you had in mind and to make it clear for the player.
What can be a bit hard for a simulation game like this for a Game Jam is that you have to guide the player enough so they aren't lost, and tell them what the parameters mean.
Also light gray text on white back ground make it not really easy to read text

Your web version of game is not working.

"Unable to parse Build/Reborn_IamthekingofAPPs_web.framework.js.br! This can happen if build compression was enabled but web server hosting the content was misconfigured to not serve the file with HTTP Response Header "Content-Encoding: br" present. Check browser Console and Devtools Network tab to debug."

You should set compression to gzip (or even disable it) in unity publishing settings and reupload.

I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing, besides clicking "Go" and choosing a thing. What were the consequences of that?

I got the same error as @flying-dog-fish when using Firefox, but it worked in Chrome

I like the concept. As others said, it would be nice if the info about an app was presented in one place with clearer explanations about their purpose. Sadly never got to see new apps get installed, I was efficient with my space until I overshot and got a game over.

@rossk Thank you gor your playing, you can get infos by clicking setting then clicking "storage" button. And there are some explanatory words under choices which correspond to attributes in "storage". In anyway, I didnt make a good tutorial.

Honestly couldn't tell what was going on, was mostly just clicking around until I lost, it seemed like you're supposed to keep 4 stats balanced by clicking the different options? Seems like a cool base idea for a game, just would have loved some more clear information on what's happening.

fun idea, congrats on finishing a game for the jam, that's a big accomplishment! As already mentioned, a bit more feedback to players on what the stats are doing and affecting, and what trade-offs you are making with each update would go a long way to make it more engaging and enjoyable to play.

I feel like the idea definitely has some potential if you spend some more time on it, but still, good job on what you've achieved in such a short amount of time! Also I don't know if it's only happening to the web version, but I cannot exit the menu once I goes there to turn off the sound.
