Explanation to Negative Feedback
Mr. Krabs wannabe
We all know that Mr. Claw is a long-lost relative of Mr. Krabs from Spongebob, let’s not kid ourselves. Maybe a little too much alike? Specifically with the name. He’s got a bit more of a chip on his shoulder and hatred in his heart than Mr. Krabs might, and puts us down, which just makes me love working for him, mind you.
Font
You know, I like what they were going for with the font, because it kind of suits the game, but reading it out loud was more difficult than reading normal font.
I’m sure it wouldn’t pose that much of a problem if you’re reading it quietly to yourself in your head, but, I definitely stumbled over the words as I was going through it.
Could have better music
It doesn’t feel like music made for an underwater whale wash. It’s certainly no Working at the Car Wash, which is one of the catchiest working tunes to have been made for a business. It’s not bad, I just found it a bit lacking.
Like Mr. Claw gave us the cheapest soundtrack he could find to depress us even more.
Explanation to Positive Feedback
Sponge tool is a beast
You better believe I upgraded the sponge first, because the amount of area it washes is spectacular, and I hope they don’t diminish it in the full release. I didn’t even care about upgrading my other tool.
Plus the reach on the sponge is great, as long as you’re first close enough to interact with the whale, and then sponge it off.
If you’re too far, the sponge won’t register and that’s a little annoying.
Clean sections at a time
I really like the idea of cleaning sections of something at a time, instead of giving us the entirety of the whale. Then again, since this is the first whale and it’s a demo, perhaps we’re only getting sections here to better understand how to use the tools we have on our person for the job.
It could very well be that this is the only time we’re getting sections of a large object to clean.
But if not, it allows us to not be so overwhelmed when it comes to cleaning something so big.
