The unique control scheme was lots of fun. There's definitely much more to explore mechanically if you were interested in making a full game. The puzzles were a little obtuse. I ended up checking the solutions page for the first two, and accidentally solved the last one. I guessed that some sort of impact was required for the first puzzle, but I guess I didn't hit it hard enough when I tried to ram it the first time, so I disregarded speed as the answer. For the second puzzle, I had basically forgotten that turning my lights on/off was a thing by that point, as there was never actually a reason prior to switch them before, and they just seemed like a quality of life element, not a real gameplay object. I probably would have solved the third puzzle but I bumped a fish towards the window by accident while exploring the room. A happy little accident. 2/3 of this review is complaining but make no mistake, I had a largely positive experience with The Helmscrab. I just wanted to be clear, since you seem to be interested in feedback in other comments. Well Done
holy cow there's so much here. fun gameplay, multiple levels and a lot of great details like the tiny flash when your dash is recharged and the enemy outlines through walls. great work
Thank you very much! We did identify that particular strategy late into the week, so in absence of a finding a clear solution, we just had to let it slide. Consider it the ultimate victory
