Really interesting game!
I loved the filter, and the overall theme really felt like an ARG!
Some of the puzzles felt a bit needlessly clunky but overall it was a very pleasant experience! Good luck!! :D
Thank you for your feedback! In hindsight maybe some clues were needed to get the player to the end of the puzzles, but we were stuck in thinking how to keep it immersive and difficult whilst still playable and completable. We will think about updating it after the voting period has done for the jam :)
Hey, the game was good, the sounds for death we're quite obnoxious, and the jumping over the bats was a small bit weird to overcome.
Some improvements would be make an end goal, or at least a point system to keep the player interested in beating their high score and keep playing. Make the controls a bit more responsive so jumping over bats isn't harder than sliding under them. And please oh please get rid of the death sound xD
Good game, nicely done, followed the theme well, but the fact that you have to click on the item you want to buy, then on the platforms was a small bit confusing as you didn't exactly word the tutorial intuitively. Even so once I figured this out the game was fairly easy.
To improve you should add a more intuitive tutorial, and a clear indicator for when you will finish (maybe make it even harder) :)
From the start I didn't really understand what I was supposed to do, it was only when I had finished the first level I realised the acronym which made a lot of sense. The controls shouldn't be this way though, I believe you should change it to a default interact button such as enter as you are using the arrow keys.
Other than that the voice acting while good, the accents need a small bit of work and I think maybe you should have stuck to your original accent as this would have made the acting a small bit more convincing and immersive.
Overall, I think this is a good game and with some great map design and control improvements it could be a great game :)
