I feel like I might be shunned a bit for this opinion on the noodles
I find the noodles to be a mixed bag. It is a smart use for a game piece and ties into the game well. So it does add (some) depth to the game.
Unfortunately the amount of work put into dealing with noodles on the field =/= the sense of "accomplishment" from doing so.
Its like when you wad up a paper and throw it into the recycling from across the office, feels good didn't take much effort. The exact opposite is true this year you put a bunch of time and effort into doing something that isn't fun.
The noodles were great on paper they add a lot of depth to the game but it didn't make the game more fun.
I would have liked to see the noodles used as a bit of end game. At the end of the match whoever had less unprocessed litter gets bonus points. At the same time open it up so that noodles can be tossed between the two sides by robots. In addition to that adding more options on how you can score the litter would make litter relevant in this game and worth thinking about aside from have a flat surface on the side of your robot that can push litter around.
Dunno...
Either way I want the GDC to take lessons from this and adapt to new games, not have new games adapt in ways to mimic this years game.
