Im 21s :D


It was really fun and rewarding despite being short. 

Can't say I liked it but I can't say I hated it. I'm pretty neutral since I spent most of my time confused. I assumed Red letters meant Don't Touch, Green meant Good to Go and White meant ... ? Turns out they were just positioning which can be seen by your literal position. Not sure what I think about that since it's similar to a shooting game (certain arrows/arrow combos shoot certain directions) but the letters kept flickering around even when your relative position hasn't changed.

I believe I liked the basic premise but not the execution.

I LOVE The Gameplay Concept ITs Really Good and well made,

1:25s :-;

1:31s :)

Super creative gameplay while being easy to understand. Nice artwork too.

The only problem I had was that I accidentaly hit R while trying to do a second run and it reset me to the top lol

Really nice submission!

1 minute and 40 seconds? it definitely did not feel like that much time passed! Also, what do the colors (on the letters) mean?

Developer

The timer might be wrong, it was kind of a late minute addition :)

The letters should conform to your fingers on the keyboard ( QWEF for the left hand, JIOP for the right hand ), and correspond to 8 tentacles, one every 30 degrees in a 240 degree arc pointed down, the right letters are "Right below you" and the green ones are to the sides and up, at maximum coverage. The entire system is very clunky, and should have worked differently, but that's all i got in 3 hours :)

Pretty cool game other than having R to restart lol I accidentally pressed it so many times.

Thank you for playing and the great feedback! The key restart binding could be improved for sure - or viewed as an extra challenge! :D
