Nice! But brutal time limits :)
Also, being able to follow letters I've just clicked and click them again is a little odd
Nice! You don't see word puzzle games like this too much. I think your take on it is really cool and fun. With a little more work this could be a really addicting mobile game.
As others have mentioned, the timer is a little harsh. I think the game might play better if it was one level, where the letters are replaced as you use them and the matrix grows with time. Finding an instance of CTRL could add extra time to the timer!
Additionally (and obviously this isn't something I'd expect in a jam haha) if you do update this, a dark theme would be really useful I think.
Thanks for the kind words! Currently the matrix grows as soon as you find the number of CTRL's required for the level. Are you suggesting that it should just grow every time a CTRL sequence is found seamlessly? That might be interesting to try! Regarding the dark theme: Do you mean the background is too light or the overall theme is too light? I will experiment with more color schemes when I update this, for sure.
Every time a CTRL would be cool to see too! But I was thinking that no matter what OR when all instances of CTRL are found the matrix could grow or something like that.
And for my eyes I think the overall theme was a little light. It's probably more than OK for most people but I personally struggle with really bright themes and know quite a few others do too.
Good luck in the jam!
It was a fun little puzzle game. My only complain is with the time to find the letters, when the matrix gets too big I needed a little bit of extra time to find the next ctrl. Maybe putting some time rewards if you find the letters in xs amount of time could be good.
Thanks! Time bonus for finding the letters is a great idea.
Nice little spotting game. The time was a little short as other people have mentioned. I would also suggest the music to get more intense when you're low on time to really get the player panicking.
Thanks! I think I should have named the game Out of Time! Lol. I really should not have made it so difficult and I blame my own developer bias for it. The music suggestion is a neat idea. TBH, I just added the music at the very last hour of submission so it's a wonder it's there in the first place. Ha ha.
I have to agree with the people who need more time ^^
It is a creative and fun concept of the theme.
Good eye-training
Fun to play! A little more time per level would be nice.
Very nice idea, fits super well on the theme! My only feedback is to increase a lit bit of the time (I was having fun but the game ends up too fast). Amazing work, very well polished!
