Thanks for your feedback.  I've been updating it some since the rating began and it will be updated at Itch when the rating period is over.  <P> can be pressed to re(P)lay the current level or press <BackSpace> can be used to totally restart.

In later levels, Blue balls move a platform one direction, and Green balls move platforms in the other.  Also Green walls are destroyed only by green balls, blue walls are destroyed only by blue balls.

In an updated version that I have already updated, there are numerous Keys and Doors (walls) that only open (break) if you have that particular key.

Thanks for your comments, I've actually added more to the game and published these changes outside of Itch because the rating period is still on going, but once rating is over, I'll update itch with the latest version.  

I've added a light/dark maze level where you kind of use a flashlight to see.  Also added Keys that you obtain and then only with these keys are you able to destroy (open) key type doors.   These keys that you find are carried into future levels so with better level design a real 'quest' can be created.   I've included a few more JSON samples and hope that someone will consider making their own levels but of course doing that in pure JSON is quite a challenge.  By the way in the latest version at the following link, if you open Development tools and observe the console logs you'll see the JSON that is used to make the level as well as your x,y,z position while you play.  You can copy that object in the console display and edit in notepad.  Then you can use this to paste into the game for your own level/modified levels.  That alone is the bare bones needed to consider making your own JSON level.   ( during game play, you press  < , > (comma key) ) to give you a prompt that allows you to paste your own JSON.  By default there is an example JSON code in the prompt so if you copy that and paste into a notepad editor you'll see what it has and also be able to add/edit it as needed.  http://lostwords.org/risk/levels.html

Here's a slightly updated version that I alternatively published while the Game Jam is still getting ratings.

And here are some interesting JSON levels experiments to get lost in.

And of course, the direction I'm heading is along these lines:

thanks for your comments. Because the rating period is on going, I've published my latest revision to

http://lostwords.org/risk

Once ratings are done, I will update the version posted at Itch.io.

I love that you tried most if not all of the levels, and hearing you refer to them by name was an extra smile!  thanks

I am continuing to build a better tutorial level that is about exploring a level to learn the basics.  It will be posted when rating ends.  Thanks for your comment, I understand what you mean.

I guess the puzzle aspect is working! ( In the tutorial you are meant to mess around! )  Actually, you just need to shoot the big black target wall, then shoot the flour inside.  That gives you the inventory you need.  After that, find the Cookie (last biscuit) and shoot it to solve the level.

Level 2 is easy too, but level 1 is pretty hard as well as the rest.  Try again, good luck, enjoy

I've modified the game slightly and temporarily published the revision here while the rating period at Itch is on-going.

Feel free to try the new tutorial there, still not the best, but an alternative to try.  Also updated some game mechanics.  I also provide a few more JSON example levels, playing around at http://lostwords.org/risk/levels.html

Thanks for your feedback.

Once the rating period is over, I plan to upload an updated version with improved levels and a proper tutorial. The tutorial will walk players through the core concepts, the different block types, and the actions that shape later levels. For example, moving platforms will react differently depending on whether they’re hit with a Blue bullet or a Green one.

Thanks for your comments. I think the mechanics are somewhat similar to the original Quake game, which I used to love. In fact, the very first game I ever wrote was back in 1987! ( Murder Motel )  So I very much understand what you mean when you say 90's!

As I was developing this project, many of the concepts felt second nature to me. However, after submitting it, I realized I should have had a playtester beforehand—especially to address the “what are you supposed to do?” aspect.

Thanks, I'll continue to improve it in my spare time.  Mostly looking forward to possibly others making their own 'puzzle' levels by simply using JSON to inject the info needed for what is where, etc.  Ideally with a community of level designers, this could be a game like "Portal" which was quite successful on Steam.  thanks again.

Thanks for your feedback. While building the game, I frantically added features, and the level design ended up reflecting that. I included the risk scales beneath the levels to help indicate difficulty, but it would probably be better not to number them at all and instead give each level a meaningful name—especially since they can be played in any order and aren’t dependent on completing previous levels. I’ll address these concerns in an update, which I’ll be working on once the rating period ends and before the next game jam begins. Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts!
