[Announcement] MakeCode Arcade Sports Jam!

Reviewing some submissions!

Duck house: Pyramid

I think its fun, but i didn’t exactly understand it. Idk what to do with the score or the items and whatnot. Maybe once it releases on the forum with instructions. The art is definitely nice.

Not-final rating: Unrated

Tungball

Do i really need to elaborate?

Final rating: 1/10

Tidal Games

Nice little timing and/or button mashing challenges. If i had to nitpick, the art between charcters and the minigames is very inconsistent.

Final raing: 7/10

Hyper Speed

The fast pace is quite fun, but the controls do take a while to get used to. I still have only won the first track.

If i had to design different controls, i’d make it so A and B turn you based on their direction relative to eachother (so B turns you left and A turns you right) and steering would be done by the D-pad in a way that matches your current direction.

Of course, i haven’t tested this so i can’t say its better or worse than the controls ingame.

Final rating: 8/10

Yeah, the controls are definatly the weakest part of the game. I decided on WASD with Q and E because that worked the best with local multiplayer as is.

A four-way tie would be ridiculous (but mad funny), and i haven’t played it yet. A review is underway!

Please note: I haven’t submitted the finished product, only a demo, and while it may look horribly unfinshed, Pixel Pistons is being brought to another level, another day…
