Hello! Welcome to Feedback Quest 7! My name's Hythrain and I'm one of the hosts and one of the streamers for this event! This feedback is being written live as I stream your game! If you're interested in seeing my live reaction, let me know and I can send you a link to the VOD once it's posted to YouTube!
So my normal approach for any game in these events is simple: I get the game, make sure it's not a virus, then play it with as little information on how to play as possible. This way, I can judge how intuitively someone can figure out the game. Only if it's obvious that I need to read more will I do so. I note this so you can get a sense where some of these feedback comes from. In addition, I want to note that feedback and rating are different; don't use this feedback to gauge what I'll rate, nor should you view my rating as entirely indicative of my feedback.
This is quite the interesting puzzle game. I had a lot of fun trying to solve the puzzles, even when I got stuck on the second area. I think a few quality of life improvements would help things out.1. Add some music to make it not so empty.
2. Instead of needing to click a button to retry, why not rig some keyboard keys into the controls? Maybe R resets the level at any time, while E returns you to the menu?
3. A hint system would also be useful for when players get stuck. Since the moves the player can do is pretty limited, it may be possible to different hints based on the progress the player has made. That way, if a player gets stuck and they just want to finish a level, they can do a hint check and try and figure it out. As for how hints could work, that's up to you.
That's all I got for now. I hope for more!
