Great! I went looking for "something missing" for quite a bit, but picking up the rune and dropping it again made the game progress. All in all, a game with a very nice feel.
The first playthrough lasted until the very first spike appeared and hit me - every game has a learning curve, right? ;) After that, I just wanted to beat the score in one of the screenshots, and I lasted over a minute getting 85k or so.
What a great sound design to go with the "feel" of the game. Sure, the music and effects are not initially made by you, but tying it together like that takes skill. I'm a sucker for these very concise, but very polished, games. This is definitely one of the better ones.
I agree with you 100%, that I scaled the point system incorrectly. As it is, you get more points per mini-game stage completed the larger your initial isolation range is - and I should've scaled it with time. There's no real incentive to risk points right now. The nudging is finicky, and it doesn't help with the cursor flickering in the web build. You only have 3 nudges for each mini-game, which is not well communicated.
Thank you so much for the great feedback. This is exactly why I love joinging these competitions. People really care :)
Thank you for trying it out! "I think the game was broken for me, I never got any thoughts" - I'm sure there's a clever joke I could make, but I'll refrain ;). Did you press E to think, solved steps of the puzzle and then clicked the collect button? I have not had any issues regarding that, and I've playtested it maybe 500 times. Regardless, thank you so much for the kind words!
Thank you a bunch for giving it a good try! "Seems like not every round is winnable" - yeah, that's exactly it. Sometimes the random events simply make you lose, or the first event takes away the teleporter. With more time I probably could've given the player more agency.
Haha, I can definitely see how that could be a game! It gets really tricky when the protagonist begins pushing the balloons around in their sleep while you try and remember, lol.
Thank you so much! Noted, the abilities were probably rushed a bit - at least in terms of visual clarity. The encouragement from you alone helps me recover ;)
I'm feeling horrible - but your kind words help! ;) Ya, I didn't exactly know how to relay the fact, that the character couldn't be controlled. Also, thanks for the feedback regarding using the abilities. This is definitely a learning experience.
Amazing, thanks alot! The "fish" coming off the magnet was an intended feature - the glitchy string just amplifies it, haha. Especially during the Film Noir theme you gotta be REALLY careful. Thanks again!
