Hi, sorry. Long comment. Minor issues and how this game's pretty rad.

1. Crash before starting level A-16.

-I think it crashed after the menu selection and before the animation with the ship plays.

-I was forced to reset the playdate using the reset switch.

-I'm running version 1.7

-I had been playing the game for the first time until then. The level works fine now that I start the game again and select it.

-I was given a "you need to restart your playdate. Hit A for [something]. Hit B for [something]", but before I could read it, it had switched to this error screen:

game.lua:1515 attempt to index a nil value
        (upvalue 'aBtn')
stack traceback:
    game.lua:1515: in function 'killClearedAbtn'
    CoreLibs/timer.lua:292: in local
        'callEndedCallback'
    CoreLibs/time.lua:334: in field 'updateTimers'
    game.lua:260: in function 'gameUpdate'

2. Issues with the teleporters "matching" single blocks. This issue is resolved if you hit undo and try again. I can't reliably replicate these glitches, but I think it has happened a few times (90% sure it's not me misunderstanding game mechanics. maybe 85%.)

3. Issues with text being stuck on screen when asked to restart a level (I think after a fail state). And, not a glitch, but I don't like that it replays the level name animation over when I undo to the beginning of a level. I just want to spam B to get to the beginning state of a level.

4. When I select a world that I haven't unlocked, it plays the animation of the cross-hair in a way that seems awkward and confusing.

5. I very much enjoy the game. Besides the crash, it runs and looks great! I feel that I am able to make these nitpicks because the rest of the package is so appealing and fun. The puzzles are pretty clever so far and I definitely want to try to clear all 200. The menus are extremely cool.

Thanks for reading my comment. Be well.

Hi Hipster,


thanks for the bug report and positive feedback, there aren't many gaming communities out there where you would get both!

Other people are seeing the random glitches you are seeing too, so it's definitely not you mistaking the game mechanics. I was hoping 1.7 would clear most of them up, but ah well, I guess 1.8 is coming along soon then :-)

Glad you're enjoying it. The game doesn't get really hard until after Zone C, hope you still enjoy it then :-D
