I really liked the game story, but the back and forth you have to do in order to experience it is very annoying, i wish the player was a bit faster... (And the text, too)
Also, the puzzles aren't the best: you have to memorize pretty much everthing you see, in order to find the solution, because if you don't it's more back and forth... Some sort of "hint system" it would have been great... (Maybe talking to the wise man after you completed the first puzzle??)
And let's not talk about that equation: i spent 2+ hours of (hand made) calculation and trial and error, only to find out later that the "letter" that i need in order to resolve was... well, i don't want to spoil the solution to the other people that will play this game (I've already given a BIG hint, for that matter...), but i'll say that i've tried every possible letter that there is... at some poin i even tought that you had done the calculation wrong.... now, my brain is tired... 🥵
Since you've shared yor ratings, i wanted to try to do the same, i usually don't do that because i don't really like doing that, but for this time i will make an exception:
- Game Design 3/5: Overall a well around designed experience...
- Fun 2/5: Like i said, gameplay too slow, and too much back and forth made the experiece quite annoying
- Innovation 3/5: A guy travels back in time to save the world. not very innovative (thematically and not)... It's not 2/5 only because of the cool story
- Theme 4/5: It fits, but it dosen't stand out enough to recive a 5 star rating
- Graphics 4/5: i personally don't like the aestethic of the game (it feels like it made some collision junky), but i certainly see the appeal of the art style...
- Audio 2/5: There are some sfx in the game, but other than that...
PS. I'm sure you already know that, but you know that leaving out a category it's like not voting for that category, and not like giving it a 0/5, right?? (I'm referring to your vote of my game: I'm writing it here because i feel like is more appropriate to write it here)
