Viewing post in The four and a half minute curse jam comments

+ Brilliant fun
+ Split screen gameplay is a great mechanic
+ The risk vs reward on collecting the cursed bottles feels exactly right
+ The overall polish is REALLY good (apart from the green screen issue at the start)
+ Loved the "snake" mechanic too

- Initial green screen "bug" may put some people off
- The music became a bit repetitive
- Maybe a short tutorial might help players understand the bottle throw mechanic (though I realised pretty quickly...)

...Just went to play the game for a second time and got totally stuck on the green screen... no amount of pressing Enter would let me through, which is a real shame as its one of the few games in the jam that I wanted to play for a second time!

Thanks for your kind words and the great review. About the green screen I am very annoyed. Actually there would be the main menu and a little tutorial. In all other builds of the game you can see that, only the WebGL version doesn't show it. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to solve the problem during the jam.

If you want to play the fixed version again, you can do that here: https://roockie-games.itch.io/the-four-and-a-half-minute-curse-download

I totally will, when there's a Linux version available! ;)
