Hello,

So I have played your game for about 15min and my main feedback is about game speed. I think it feels very slow once the player has understood what they have to do. When the bunnies are at work and the job queue is stable, there is not much to do while waiting for the ressources to stack and be able to build the rocket. Same during the first night, after the rat is defeated you have to wait 5 seconds for the night to finish, but nothing happen, so this is a bit frustrating.
Maybe a "increase time speed" button could help with this, or some additionnal actions to do during the day (maybe that's already on your todo list).

Regarding the story, it's not really detailled in game, I had to scroll down on your page to get the full context, you should push it a bit more in-game since you have worked quite a bit on it.

For the gameplay :

• A tutorial with a set of actions to do could help set the village up. It took me a few minutes to figure out that you have to fill a global job queue, but I was trying to individually click on the bunnies to assign them to actions, which is not possible. This workflow should be made clearer when starting the game.
• I think we have 3 bunnies when starting, but they are not visible in the scene, I saw only 1 (didn't see the counter at the top of the UI), so I crafted 2 at first, ending with way more bunnies than needed and 4 died at first night :D That goes with my previous point, understanding what to do at the beginning should be made clearer.
• I am not sure which way you are going for the genre, but I think it would be nice to have some additionnal buildings, or research process, in the process to build the rocket. Right now it feels a bit too "easy" to build the rocket by only gathering wook, stones and carrots.

I liked most of the visuals and the UI, only the ground feels a bit flat to me.

Keep going!

• I like the story and the graphic style.
• The controls are not always self-explanatory at first glance, but you soon figure out how everything works.
• On my first night, 3 out of 4 rabbits starved to death, maybe you could tell sleepy players like me earlier that I need carrots. That’s where I would like to see the hint.
• I like a speed function in games like this.
• The rabbits always run to the tower / fire to fill up the tower and fire without any materials and then back to the house, so they might realize earlier that they have nothing with them.
• After I send a bunny to collect, the building is automatically deselected; this is impractical if I want to send several bunnies.
• I zoom into the map more often by scrolling up the jobs.

Perhaps you would like to take a look at my prototype? Roll, jump and shoot. Beginners need feedback and tips.

Hey sorry I took so long. I love the game! I don't have much feedback and mostly agree with the other poster. The game overall feels pretty good to play. Some nitpicks I have:

A tutorial would be very helpful to get accustomed to how the game expects the user to handle it.

The top left UI elements were not lined up in my window. I can screenshot if you need.

Pacing could be a little faster or maybe a speed up button like the other commenter suggested.

I understood the story but was mainly drawn to the gameplay and aesthetic.

Can't wait to see more!

Hi there,

I hope this message finds you well. I love the idea of exchanging playtests and was intrigued by your game "Bunny Bunker." 🐰🚀 It sounds like a delightful and engaging concept, and I'd love to provide feedback on the core loop and other aspects you mentioned.

We are currently developing an online multiplayer game, and as you might know, testing multiplayer features can be quite challenging because you need to find people to play the game with. If you have a hard time finding someone to playtest with, we would love to schedule a session where we can both be online at the same time. Please note that this does not require any form of call or direct communication; we just need to make sure there is someone online when you are playtesting the game. However, if you prefer, we are also open to doing a call on Discord during the session. 🕹️

We find that recording playtest sessions can provide valuable insights. We plan to record our own playtest session and include detailed playtest notes. We encourage you to do the same, though providing just playtest notes is also welcome if recording is not feasible for you. 📹📝

Please let us know your availability, and we can coordinate a time that works for both of us. We look forward to playing "Bunny Bunker" and providing detailed feedback on the story, gameplay, and any other comments. Your feedback on our game will be immensely valuable to us as well. 🎮
