For the first mode, the ability of pushing objects and the trailing fire effect, along with the background music can definitely make me feel it is strong and aggressive. The polish is absolutely awesome. The dark skydome and the rock music in the back really makes the game better.

For the second mode, I really like the ability of flying and the leisure music in the back. Also the animation of falling feather is really good. I also like the invisible air block to prevent player falling from the platform.

It’s really good project. It would be even better to add more animations to the avatar itself. Good job man.

Joyful/Nimble:
With the polish, this was also great. The music and colors match perfectly with the mood. I think the interaction needs a bit of work because it really feels like the aggressive/strong one without the polish (except for not being able to knock things down). Maybe a slightly wobbly motion might add to the nimble feel. I also think that you should slowly fall to the ground rather than hover indefinitely.

Overall great work.

For the joyful/nimble feel, once again, I really liked the decision behind forcing your character to do a specific action to convey the feeling. Nimbleness is definitely created via the faster movements and ability to jump, which is really only shown by using its contrast between this feel and the aggressive/strong feel. Without the contrast, the ability to jump/fly alone would not have been enough. The change to a more joyful, mellow background track, a brighter skybox and feathers coming off your character definitely helped convey this game feel well.

I like the approach of angels and devils that allowed you to fashion your characters to be aggressive/strong or joyful/nimble without just using color changes. Some suggestions that I have would be to add some audio clips to the interactions, like when you hit an object or when you’re flying. Other than that, everything else is perfect.

For the demon, my first suggestion would be to increase the impact force on the boxes so they fly out in all directions from you when you hit them, and add a sound effect. This would help considerably with the impact; currently the music and general atmosphere (the fire, appearance, and such) leads up very well to a feeling of strength and aggression, but the force on the boxes doesn’t follow through with this feeling. Being able to do something with space (launching objects, picking them up and then throwing them, maybe?) would also help, as the range of ability seems a little limited.

The angel certainly had the feeling of nimbleness to it given its far greater range of motion and ease of control, but apart from music there wasn’t much to give a feeling of joy. Both of these, I think, could be helped by having the angel’s movement be a little less static; simple flapping motions for the wings and leaning in the direction of flight, for instance. As it stands both of the avatars feel somewhat like pawns on a game board – which comes off as odd given this one flies. Increased game-feel polish could be in the form of the sound of rushing air and wing flaps.

The atmosphere in terms of skybox and textures feels good (the effective color coding of red for things the demon can interact with and blue for the angel stuck out as well-placed), and the music is fitting almost to a fault given the expectations it builds up. The avatars are well-made and obviously portray what they intend to, to the point where it could have been easily understood without so much as a written explanation. This is always a good design feature, in my opinion. The only issue I had in terms of atmosphere is that the ground texture doesn’t change with the avatar, and is grassy throughout (made more obvious by the lack of change in lighting), but in general the use of textures and visual appearance is handled well here. Again, my only major issues were some tuning to interaction and animation. In general, a good project.

I liked the angel scene as well, especially the flying, which I thought was a very nice touch; however, I am having a difficult time finding the scene to be joyful after I remove the polish effects. One thing I think you can do would be to add a small sound effect when the angle flies upwards; I think this will definitely reinforce the joyful feeling of the scene.

Great job!
