Viewing post in Game dev Game - A game, An app jam comments

The preview image got me thinking that it'll be some hardcore platformer like Super Meat Boy... but got disappointed (as no other screenshots were presented on a page). This game has 3 levels, and each of them is equally confusing (at least for me). Player's actions are very limited. So even in music level, it doesn't really feel like you're creating something yours, there's no fun factor in it. And, unfortunately, didn't get to the boss part, that level was quitting point for me. Also some background music would be nice. The game is not bad, but could be better!

I'm sorry if its confusing.. normally i keep a lot of instruction, which bore the player, because i'm worried about this... Look like i cant find the right balance.

I saw your stream. You couldn't get to the final part because you didn't attempt all the levels. You attempted drawing, but after that, you reloaded the tab. So, actually, you only attempted music and programming.

An easy way to get past the programming level, is by putting a shield on the laser beacon, blocking the laser completely, and then creating platforms to reach the end. I was trying to challenge the player

This is the first time i tried to make a game, which is not really a game. Somewhere between a game and an app. I was trying something new, so sry if your disappointed with the results

Thanks for the feedback, and cool game(i saw your game)!
