Hi everyone, my name is Zero.
I made this post because I'm looking for people willing to play a game that I'm currently producing with my team.
We're still developing and refining the game, and right now we really need feedback from people outside our team. We want to understand what we can improve, what is already working and should stay, what feels confusing or frustrating, and most importantly, if the game is actually fun to play.
This is the first game we've ever produced together as a team, so I would really appreciate it if some of you could give us a hand by playing our Alpha and telling us what you honestly think.
I'm not looking for compliments or anything like that. If you don't like something, if something feels boring, confusing, frustrating or just bad, please tell me. That's exactly the kind of feedback we need right now.
The game is called Wash-It, Orc!
It's a 2D time-management game where you play as an orc working in a fantasy kitchen. Your job is to wash and clean the dishes before the end of your shift.
You have to grab the dishes, use different cleaning tools in the right order, manage the pile of dirty dishes and try to clean as many as you can before time runs out.
The problem is that some of those dishes aren't actually dishes.
Some of them are mimics, and they'll attack you if you're not careful.
The game is still in Alpha, so there are definitely things that are unfinished, things we're still balancing and probably bugs that we haven't found yet.
What I would really like to know after you play is:
Was it easy to understand what you were supposed to do?
Were the controls easy to understand and use?
Did the tutorial explain the game well enough?
Was cleaning the dishes fun or did it become repetitive?
Was there anything that confused or frustrated you?
Did you find any bugs?
Did you feel like playing another round after finishing?
What would you personally change or improve?
You don't need to answer all of these questions either. Even if you play for a few minutes and stop because something bothered you, I would still really like to know why.
You can play the Alpha here:

The current build is for Windows.
You can leave your feedback here in the comments, send me a DM on Reddit, or leave a comment directly on the itch.io page.
Thanks to anyone who decides to give it a try. We still have a lot to improve, so having people outside the team actually play it and tell us what they think would help us a lot.
