Same issue I'm having. A red error pops up and says my "zip code failed validation".

There are no errors in the console, aside from "slow network detected" warnings.

I suspect it may be related to different zip code standards? We have 6 digit zip codes here, usually with a space or dash. If this is an issue on stripe's side, that's a big problem, but I've purchased through other sites with stripe.

Most of the feedback I've received was regarding the visible areas, it definitely needs the most improvement. I think it should have a lot more persistence so that it doesn't feel just like blind jumping around. You'll still be jumping blind, but with knowledge of where the level actually is. It'd be a bit weird after all if a bat used echolocation and forgot where everything was after a second.

The level's layout was cobbled together in the last couple of hours. I wanted to create a level where it highlighted the idea of using sound to find your way through, but of course I knew the layout of the level. In the future I think I'll need to ask someone to work their way through the level for me. A couple of my friends pointed out that if you could shoot the sound in multiple directions it would allow you to get a much better idea of what was going on.

The jump arc / movement in general is something that I need to address. One big issue with it is how if  you hit the side of a wall it will cut the jump short, which I noticed causes players to miss a jump that they otherwise should have had the height to make, which is very unsatisfying.

As for the windows of visibility, I will be tweaking some of the variables involved such as the duration and speed of the sound wave. Honestly I had intended to have the waves last a bit longer and fade out slowly, but that seems to require a shader which I am not yet familiar with. Spent a couple of hours trying to create a shader but I think I need to learn them from the ground up to understand why mine didn't work and how to make it work.
