I definitely think games don't necessarily have to be "fun" to be good and even a painful experience can be great in the right context. Still, I had trouble with this one.. the walking was just too slow for me.
That said, I did have moments where I thought "It's just over this dune" and then realizing I still had much further to go and also moments where I got lost even before the sand storm really kicked in, which is a neat thing to make your players experience.
And the sand storm was really cool, I really liked how quickly frames of reference disappeared. Oh and the music was great!
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Looks really interesting and very atmospheric. The sound was broken in the web build and at one point I alt+tabbed and the mouse capture went all weird so all I could do was stare at the sand!
Thanks! Yeah for me on firefox the sound stutters a lot :( It was a bit better on chromium
I liked the atmosphere, music is fitting. The storm shader is terrifying =)
Walking is a bit slow, making the uneventful walk too long.
Still I liked it enough to finish the game, good job !
Thanks for making it to the end!!
i liked the ambience! and the sand terrain stuff looked p cool
Thanks for playing! 😊
The mac build doesn't work for me
Oh no :/ Is it throwing an error?
Not really, it just closes before spawning a window. This is the second entry that does it for me with https://chrisbiscardi.itch.io/wash-cycle
The linux build doesn't work for me :(
Aw shucks :( does it throw a specific error?
not really it panics multiple times
log if you would like: https://hastebin.skyra.pw/hiwiqihoji.rust
I also tried wine and proton and that also didn't work
Cool concept, I really liked the music and atmosphere, but I was kinda confused on what to do
Thanks for playing! I do wish we'd had the time to make the goal a bit clearer
