Re: Why I like the last 2 games--dual challenge levels

I'm hoping the GDC will pull out a much simpler game in 2018.
This is the major problem IMO. Honestly, after over a year, I've finally come up with an explanation of stronghold. "We crossed over various obstacles to put balls in a goal." That being said, this hardly highlights how awesome changeable defenses were. This year, the best I can come up with is "you can either shoot wiffle balls in a goal, or have people lift score gears to activate 'rotors' for points."


In the GDCs defense, the whole 'assist' aspect of 2014 is a bit hard to explain. You leave out a lot of detail by just saying "you put exercise balls in a goal"
