Saw this featured on the homepage, and thought I'd give it a go. ngl...took way too long for me to get into the game, then, felt very disappointment by what was there once I could actually control the character.
To be fair, this simply isn't for me, and has nothing to do with you as a dev. It feels like something that could have been on the GBC as a fully fledged commercial game back in the day, I can tell you put real work into this.
Perhaps the issue is web player games, I expect to just begin playing right away. Retention is crucial these days, even 5 seconds of spamming buttons trying to interact can lead to click offs. I may try again using the rom on one of my retro handhelds. As then expectations will be in line with design.
Congrats on being featured though! Very cool!
Thank you for you feedback, I appreciate the game style and design won't be to everyone's liking. I want to create a game with atmosphere, story and depth. The consequence of this is that it requires a time investment to get into the story and the game. Again, that might not be for everyone. Thank you for taking the time to play it and leaving your thoughts :)
