How did you interpret the theme?
There are times when the character is under mental pressure, so you are supposed to click quickly in those parts.

Cool story, however, the sound at the beginning of the game breaks my ears Q.Q

The text can sometimes be hard to see with white text only(since your background is also black and white), you can add some black outline to the text. To help avoid the white text blending into the white stuff on your image.

Or, better, you can add some speech bubbles or background to make this more game-like!

Go under pressure and win your treasure!

Thanks, I did not realize the sound was that loud, and I also didn't think about text accessibility. Thanks for telling me. I wasn't thinking about updating this game, but perhaps I could at least do what you mentioned.

I really liked the idea, but while fast clicking I couldn't read as fast so I don't know, what's happened.. will you tell me, please?)

Submitted

Keep calm (even if you don't feel like it)

Quantum LinuxDeveloper1 year ago

Did you click fast through the whole thing because you don't have to do that.

chiotógachSubmitted1 year ago

No, I fast clicked where geometrical figures were. If I slowclicked I was stuck in a loop of pictures, so only fastclicking helped..

Was I supposed to do that?

Quantum LinuxDeveloper1 year ago

The only times you were supposed to click quickly were when it says click quickly which always occur after Euclido is in the hallway, and he hears movement.

chiotógachSubmitted1 year ago

I'll try again, thanks)

Quantum LinuxDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

You're welcome. If it doesn't work then I could tell you the story related things.

chiotógachSubmitted1 year ago

oh, such a sweet story!) got me some old school doctor who vibes)

but it's really hard to click fast only for short amount of time/ I though when it's said to click fast, I have to click fast for at least 1-2 seconds, so I got to skip all the story telling part because of that

This time I've managed to stop it to click fast as fast as I can *:D but still I always skiped couple of frames because of that speed. maybe, if there were some arbitrary number of clicks I should click fast, it would be easier to control the game)

Quantum LinuxDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks for playing again however many times you did (if it was annoying let me know perhaps I could have just given the story). I didn't think of that type of control method or that possible problem. I don't know if I'll work on this too much, but if I did maybe I should make bigger changes to those parts.

Interesting idea. It's a little boring and kind of feels like a presentation slide show, but it's still really cool! Good job! I also like the weird shapes

Thanks, it makes sense why you get that vibe of a presentation slide show, and if a person is looking for some kind of engaging gameplay, they may not find it here.

Alex SantosSubmitted1 year ago

Interesting concept and story, very captivating! I'd just recommend different actions other than clicking fast for quick time events, it's not very accessible (some people might not be able to) and a different action like clicking a randomly positioned button (or buttons) could be an interesting alternative, other than that, great submission, good work!

Mission Control

Quantum LinuxDeveloper1 year ago (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks, the click fast thing made sense to me for some reasons, and I might have thought it was accessible given the small penalty you get for missing it and other things, but maybe I should do something different though really the whole game may need to be improved.

Great work, little tips for the future tho:

-Avoid a lot of text at once even when it comes to instructions, its not a book but a game.

-Gameplay non-existent, just story-based. (besides that one time you click a fast to progress.) Bit underwhelming in my honest opinion. Not saying story-based games are bad, you just need options and strategy to make them not soo textbook.

Submitted

Quantum LinuxDeveloper1 year ago (1 edit) (+1)

Fair points, I even considered that the gameplay may not be good. The first point is one where I actually prefer to not give instructions at all, since it is better to make gameplay that teaches players and/or similar. I was taking it kind of chill, so this is not my greatest work gameplay wise.

BigEnterButtonSubmitted1 year ago

Nice little short game! The sound were a little too loud though it might just be my headset but overall fun game :)

Submitted

Quantum LinuxDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Thanks, maybe I should consider sound more for the future, but I was taking it more chill here, and I didn't really consider that too much. I played it on my computer and did adjust the volume sometimes since at 100% it might have been too loud.

"Klick through everything fast" and "Here is a lot of text to read" don't mix that well

Loads of Pressure

Quantum LinuxDeveloper1 year ago (3 edits)

I didn't say click through everything fast. If you wanted to do it fast you can, but you can't blame me for having design that doesn't work when my goal wasn't to make a game where you click everything fast.

Agent AmianSubmitted1 year ago

Geomelode? I was thinking donut. Nice short game.

Submitted

Quantum LinuxDeveloper1 year ago(+1)

Thanks, it was supposed to refer to his group of people the Geomelodes, but I can understand the confusion to some extent.
