Although the menu does instruct the player to find blue boxes, there appear to be very few of them, making it extremely difficult for players to not only progress, but also internalize the fact that they're looking for those blue boxes. You could honestly have a high level of difficulty with less confusion by placing some more boxes and reducing the amount of health they give. Still, the atmosphere created by the music and the visuals is quite amazing. The feeling you create with just simple squares as particles is fantastic.

Thank you for the feedback! Didn't get much time to do the balancing. I will probably do an update later with some improvements.

Health decreasing too fast, Other than that - great game. Visuals are amazing!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! About the health decrease, I wanted to create a sense of urgency but probably it is too much.

Good game, nice art. I just think the game would be much more fun if there was a goal to aim at. I'm not sure if there's a way to win it, or if i just have to stay alive for as long as i can.

Developer

Thanks for your comment! The aim of the game is to stay alive as long as possible, no win conditions. But you are right, the gameplay can definitely be improved.
