PyWeek - Anate Team - feedback

Congratulations to have built something in a week!

Looks rather unfinished.

Got this exception:

Ok. The game works. But looks very unfinished. Not sure whats going on. But thank you.

There is no fairy city.... this is what I wished for...
More technique for killing the spiders would be great and also a HP bar maybe. Right now I just spam attack and I don't know what I am doing, how I am doing, and where I am. But one day I hope to see this fairy city.

You had a good start to a game here: I was really looking forward to seeing a fairy city, but was pretty cool killing some spiders anyway :) ... I never really knew how much health I had at any time or when the spiders were actually in range to bite me. I kept getting a crash (line 96/97 in game.py when the distance between the player ans spider becomes zero): quick fix was to skip the vector normalisation steps if the relative vector is zero.

There's not much to this game, as far as I could find. Just chopping trees and killing spiders.

I did run into a bug. There needs to be an exception if one of the vectors (presumably direction of a characters) is equal to zero. This only happened once and I played through a couple times.

Traceback:
File "/home/user/Downloads/Journey to fairy city/game.py", line 96, in update
dirvect.normalize()
ValueError: Can't normalize Vector of length Zero

its a good start, there just needs to be more.

Good game, I manage to cut the whole forest but the game crash.

The game had impressive code quality and the spider enemies were effectively creepy. The artwork was also good, but unfortunately, the game lacked depth beyond simply chopping down trees and fighting spiders. Additionally, I encountered a frequent error message that read: "ValueError: Can't normalize Vector of length Zero". Despite these issues, the game was still somewhat enjoyable and I look forward to version 1.0.

Game is unfinished according to the author but the design is cute and sounds like it could be a really neat game if it was finished =)

I'm still not sure how to kill spiders (or if I was killing them and just couldn't tell) but I did have fun eating them and crashing the game a few times, haha.

Even though you had more planned, I wish there could have been a win screen if you cleared the forest or killed (ate) all the spiders or whatever the objective could have been for this little bit of game.

The game only loosely ties into the theme through the story description. I did like the og story though.

I'd say this is about average overall, but definitely feels like an incomplete game to me (which it is). Unfortunate but that is the truth :(

I wasn't sure whether I was killing the spiders or not. They kinda just disappeared but it seemed like I was getting hit by them still.

Once the forest is cleared, as mentioned in the description, there wasn't anywhere to go or any special reward, which didn't make it a very fun game.

I also had to continue twice which led to the crash mentioned in the description.

Didn't really tie in to the theme except via the game description here.

while running around and spam clicking all the trees was slightly fun, this doesn't fit the theme too well. I also ran into crashes occasionally.
