Yeah same, I should definitely add a few more, it was a bit of an oversight on my part, some of the puzzles are very difficult, so I will definitely add more if i get to the next round :)

Glad to revisit this game, and on stream so you can see I’m not a total idiot when I have the right keyboard! Ha. Loved the updates and left feedback during my play through. Great work.

Great game, following the clues was fun, the audio additions were great improvements to round 1. 

Developer

Thanks!

I'm so sad you didn't add music for the important tutorial :(

Developer(+1)

Haha I should have, but I added it somewhere else, I'm sad no one else spotted the remix lol

Submitted(+1)

Very nice added audio, sounds and music! I like the setup you have going: following along with the notes as they lead to the next, but would love to see another layer added to the puzzle.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks! And I agree about another layer of puzzle, do you mean more steps to finding the password, or more complex puzzles?

Submitted

I could see both! Although I was moreso referring to either more complex or a different kind of puzzle. Maybe something building off of how you have bold letters signifying one thing, you could then have italicized letters mean something else, just as a quick example.

After failing to escape in round 1 I was determined make it out this time. Grabbed a pen, a notepad started to follow the clues. After spending way too long analyzing each note very carefully, I typed in the password and escaped on my first try. I actually got really excited that I escaped. 

The audio for each of the notes really helped to set the mood and added to the game feel. I would still love to see some art that fit the game to add to the feeling of being trapped in a phone. It was fun to explore all of the notes, they were really well thought out. Fantastic upgrade to your round 1 game.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you managed to escape this time, and I'm super glad about the fact it was really exciting to escape, that was exactly what I was going for, trying to make a sense of satisfaction for cracking the puzzle!

I will definitely update the art if I get through to Round 3, I just ran out of time this round unfortunately.  I'm glad you think it has improved as well!

Really cool idea.  Love seeing unique stuff like this!

Developer

Thank you! Glad you like the concept!

Cool concept, hopping around the different notes, digging deeper and deeper! A quality polish you could do is maybe fade the volume of the different note audios to a lower level after a few seconds, some are quite intense to keep listening to while reading the notes. I like that you could come across the notes with hidden meanings in any order, it's only when you follow them the right way that you can be sure you've solved it :)

Developer

Thank you so much for your feedback, and I’m glad you enjoyed it! I totally agree about the audio thing, I was hoping to implement something like that, tbh I just ran out of time and didn’t really know how to do that, but I will do some research and figure out a solution. Thanks again :)

Developer

Developer

Not bad! All the little notes are relatable af! And cute! Wish there was a bit more going on however this is a job well done.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I agree, I wanted to add some more gameplay but ended up running out of time lol
