Hello everyone,
I just wanted to ask what everyone thinks, I played a game called pandaland yesterday/today. It was a full release game. It's just on the short side, being 7 minutes to play. I found a warp, and a death glitch that shorten that time even further. My intention was to highlight a cute little indie game I found,
My run was rejected for the reason of "Not accepting short flash based games at this time.
I was hoping to show the game off, a glitchess/non-exploit run would still be 5 minutes. Should I explain my case to someone? Should one be more careful about the games chosen? What's too short if glitches and warps are involved? What do you all think?
Here is the run in question:
I'm not mad at the decision, I just want to hear opinions and suggestions. Feel like I wasted some time trying to find every glitch/exploit I could in the game.
Eh I don't know anything about this game! (It could be a good game)
But when I watch the run and try to find the game this is my opinion. It kind of looks like a short web browser game. I can't really find the game either, only downloading from some shady websites. I can't find it on Steam or other popular platforms.
So, I can see why an admin would reject it at (first) sight.
It seems the game site was closed a few years back.
Apparently you the download file is hosted on the creators website; http://www.svantedanielsson.se/pandaland.html
Where to go from here?
Run the game until you’re happy with it? Try to build a community around it? Create your own LB for the game in a google doc?
There’s countless places you can take this game from here. Not every game will get an LB on this site, and just having the game on the site won’t make it all that much more visible either.
Just run the game, upload your PBs to YouTube and have fun.
I originally tried to find interesting foreign indie game on my computer. I don't think I have the time to do all that, those are all good points!
What is the general consensus is for how long a game should be, what are some things that could cause a game to get declined?
My bonk.io 3 win speedrun got rejected because it 'wasn't notable'. However, at any given time in the game, there are over 1500 people playing. And might I add, agar, slither, and splix are all on the site.
And DBcade, I don't know because I added Meteor 60 Seconds! and the current WR for the most popular category is 49 seconds and some. I think there's a fourteen second run of one category.
