Game Off 2023

The theme was "Scale", so I decided to take an idea for a dungeon crawler I had and add moments of "Scale" by using a camera to zoom in and out to give the player a sense of scale to their environment.

I also applied a "Scale" to the monsters, where you have large swarms of enemies (Each time you encounter a swarm it should be a big larger then the last) and then topping it off with a physically larger boss monster.

That was really cool! My first run they ran into the boss right away and one of the characters ended up getting stuck in the black space so I died... next run I managed to run into 1 group of little guys before finding the boss. The boss tends to spawn in the first room a lot it seems.

I was a bit confused on which names referred to which hero, I could kind of roughly guess but not 100% and sometimes I wasn't sure if the tanks were taking more damage or if the healer was getting aggro'd

Thanks for the feedback!! 

Yes I noticed the spawning is a bit inconsistent, I think having a bit more structure to the spawning would make it more enjoyable.

I also agree with the names, heroes and health bar, there is definitely some UI work that could be done there to help improve the readability of what is happening.
