I've now played the web version. it was an interesting concept but would have benefitted from clearer UI and a few levels to play through to introduce concepts instead of just throwing everything into the tutorial level. 

Developer

Yea i need Better UI, If i introduce concepts in a level it would be random. As if you die you will be introduced to different and random level.

Cool game. I didn't understand what was happening though. The arrow block went back and forth a bunch of times and then I got taken to a new level, but I wasn't sure if it was a glitch or how the game is supposed to be. Otherwise I love the concept and originality!

Developer

Did you play the tutorial ?, The game mechanic are on there.

Submitted

yes I did the tutorial....

Developer

did you read the text carefully ?. if you didn’t, try to read it carefully.

The game mechanic it's super interesting and leaves many possibilities but I think a big reason players would quit the game is because of the tutorial and the background. The background is really confusing and it even makes the tutorial harder to read. The tutorial is a block of text making it boring to read.

If you fix those two problems you can even make a full game with this mechanic but for now, I would really appreciate it if you would give feedback and rate my game too.

Developer

Yea i know about the tutorial and background, also I’m not that experienced about designing so that why it’s so simple i would try fix it later after the jam. Also about your game, it was an amazing experience.

Not sure if it's the web build, but the game won't let me be in a level for more than 5 sec before shuffling me to another one. Maybe I'm missing something?

I like the moving towards the mouse part from the tutorial, I hoped to see some interesting levels.

Pretty sure your cursor are over the block, which you should not do it. As the tutorial say. Also there are spikes which not that visible ( i forgot to show the spike in the tutorial ) but if you touch the spike u died.

I tried downloading the game and got the same "this is dangerous" message that ImaCupaJoe got. I overrode it and windows security immediately detected a dangerous virus in the downloaded content called "Virus:VBS/Ramnit.gen!A". Thankfully it got caught before it could infect my computer. So, uuuh. I guess this is awkward.

Developer

Sorry i don’t know what happen but would you mind trying my other game and check if the same things happen.

Will not do, I'm still cleaning up the mess left by the last virus. Maybe someone else can try.

Developer

I added the web version.

Submitted

Awesome, I'll try it out soon :)

I cant vote on this because google wont let me download it, it says its dangerous and google wont give me the option to work around it. 

Developer

I can download it. Try another browser, i think it would work.
