Thank you so much for taking the time to play it and let me know how it was!
Yeah, the beginning levels have been refined quite a bit to make sure that players can get the hang of what's happening since it's all rather foreign. I'm glad you were able to get a good way into the game!
Very glad you think the sound and visuals are sufficiently well constructed lol, that's probably the hardest part for me to get right, I was experimenting a bunch with shaders for this game.
Yeah, the arcade mode is definitely for players after they have more or less gotten the hang of the game. I see the arcade mode as the "real game" in a sense and that the campaign is like a giant tutorial for it. It takes a bit of time to get used to, but its really satisfying when you get to the point that you can consistently improvise your chains.
