Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes

Summarise your game!
Anonymous Tip is a 3D platformer where you play as a knife used as a murder weapon. Bring the killer to justice by using awkward & challenging physics based movement to get to the courthouse and turn yourself in with your evidence intact.

Press [TAB] to Pause. Quickly reload your Last Checkpoint while Paused, or at Game Over, by pressing [R].

Hold [WASD] keys to begin rolling, press [SPACEBAR] to Jump, press [SPACEBAR] midair to Launch yourself & Stab into wood. Move the Mouse to control the camera, and aim your Launch.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Instead of playing as a weapon enacting violence you play as a weapon reacting to the violence and bringing the perpetrator to justice.

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
The largest design challenge we found was balancing the lack of control with satisfying platforming gameplay. The game is inspired by “I Am Bread” but we didn’t want to stray too far into ‘Rage Game’ territory. We would really appreciate any feedback about the balance of player movement control and constructive criticism to improve it.

Hi Strawberry, looked forward to giving your game a go. As you've mentioned there are issues on MAC. I hope to retry at my Windows PC later today!

Hey Orange, hope you get a chance to play. It seems to perform best on Windows using Google Chrome.

The sensitivity of the mouse movement is very very low for me. Makes it very hard to aim. Tho i did get the knife stuck in the first piece of wood and got over it. That felt really nice. Perhaps it's the web format that is throwing my mouse off! The graphics are good too! Really nice job!

Thanks for playing! Were you able to adjust the sensitivity at all in the settings menu in the pause screen?

Ahh that helps a lot! Felt much smoother getting over the first two hurdles. But i eventually got stuck in a loop of "Your Evidence Has been washed away" kept popping up after 1 or 2 jumps.

Oh wow weird, was the meter actually empty and/or were you in water? Never saw that one during our playtesting lol

I was going down an alleyway with not much stuff in it and got the screen. then tried to reload check point. then tried to restart level. Something like that...
