I really enjoyed most of my playthrough. The art style is very charming and the music does a great job at setting the scene. I also really loved the password puzzles. They struck a great balance between amount of information and critical thinking. The story also had me intrigued. However towards the end (or what I believe to be so due to not finishing) I stopped playing due to the final puzzle. It was really fun at first, but towards the end of it (when almost the whole screen except for 2 rows/columns gets filled in red) I got annoyed. I attempted it 14 times but there wasn’t enough time to figure out what the open lane was. And since it’s randomly chosen, I couldn’t memorize it either. The camera is so zoomed in that even standing in the middle won’t let you see all of the sides and find the safe area. This soured the experience. Just giving a bit more view to the player could remedy this. Overall, great game, but the shutdown sequence ruins it for me.
Or idk, maybe i just need to get good :P
My PB is 3:45 with a score of 12772, try to beat it! 😈😈
