Interesting concept, but I think the controls, at least to make the characters go in and out of the stage, weren't the best ones for the game, as when we have 5 characters going in and out, it can be tricky trying to slide then in a good position to do the switch. The sound effects were a good choice, tho (I know that in theory it shouldn't be the director's job, but it fits perfectly in the theme of the game). I'd also recommend adding some sort of "cast list" before the level so the players can identify quicker which person is making the opposite character. Hope you can expand and improve on the concept, because, as far as I can remember, there aren't many games about theatre :)

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, we are very aware of the shuffling problem and the general lack of technical polish; unfortunately, we just didn’t have the time to do everything we wanted to do.
Adding a cast list is a neat idea! We’d just have to find some way to combine it with the current gameplay loop.
