The puzzles were satisfying when I knew how it worked and the minimal aspect was visually powerful. It felt like a puzzle box! Presentation overall is great.
I was also confused by level 1 (clicking+dragging)-- I see you addressed this in the comments, but adding a one-time notice in-game for level 1 or just mentioning it on the itch web page.
Thanks for playing the game ^^
True, since the game jam rating period have ended, updating the game/web page is allowed
but I haven't had time to do that since kinda busy with other things
I'll try to update it later ^^
I like the idea here, but the lack of visual indication that you're being blocked rather than just "nothing is happening" makes the "Opposition" level really hard to figure out.
Thanks for playing the game ^^
I see, yeah probably I need to think of how to represent the visual cue maybe together with audio cue too
Thanks for the input XD
Love it! It's not so clear to me at first but then it clicked. The different mechanics are interesting and I was able to finish the game. Good job on the submission!
Thanks for playing and completing the game XD
I'll try to think about it to make it more intuitive to play the game ^^
I like the game!
The music and the pixel art is really good as well.
Just a bit confused with how you play but i got it but then got stuck in the fourth level.
overall this is a good game!
Thanks for playing the game ^^
level 4, I think it's the threat level right?
but yeah the overall user experience on this game is not really intuitive I think
so need to rethink how to present/control it
thanks for the input XD
Nice game and pixel art.
It was a little hard to understand the game rules.
Thanks for playing the game ^^
Yep, I think I need to rethink how to make the game more intuitive to play
Thanks for the input XD
Really enjoyed the audio work, the simplicity, and the overall vibe on this. I was a little confused on what to do when the enemy showed up, but I understand what you are going for. Congrats on the finished game!
thanks for the inputs and playing the game XD
It's an interesting concept, although, despite managing to escape the dungeon, I still don't quite know what I was doing...
Thanks for playing the game ^^
Yeah I think there's still many things to do to make the game more intuitive and easier to understand
Thanks for the input ^^
I got stuck where I had to choose a player or a door.
Thanks for playing the game ^^
To play the game, you need to click and drag from player to other's node like a door
to progress the node, you need to press the advance button.
and later on, there's enemy that will block the progress so you need to outnumber the connection to the node
of you are stuck somewhere, you can press the restart button
That's basically how to play the game for now
and I think some modifications are needed to make it more intuitive too
I had a hard time figuring out how the “web mechanic” worked. When I finally got it, though, it was fun.
I love the atmosphere, both the visuals and sounds are spot on!
Thanks for playing the game ^^
I'm really glad you liked it XD
great mood, music and art
Cool idea and art!
Thanks for the input and playing the game ^^
Hope you liked the game XD
I really love the mood music, it set the whole feels for me as I played. The music tone did add to the mystery of "what on earth am I supposed to do here?" but in a game puzzle way... so it's appropriate.
At first I had the impression that nothing was happening, until I decided to experiment with the other buttons on the lower part of the screen. Then I figured the issue I had... my laptop's screen was too small to see everything, so I was probably missing out on some visual cue or clue.
Congrats on the game's release!
Thanks for playing the game ^^
I see, probably advance button is not intuitive, and I have not yet considered the screen size too
Probably need to consider the screen resolution
Thanks for the input ^^
The game has inspiring graphics, but I didn't get past the start screen, nothing was happening.
I'm sorry that happened :'
Are you playing it on browser? Does the buttons not working?
Some of my friends also had problems with the buttons on browser version.
Yep, It's on browser version
I see
yeah I think the browser version is quite buggy :'
probably it's better to play it with .love file extension instead
I like the concept, but I was really confused on what was going on. I got stuck at the 3rd for 4th level (opposition), and could not figure out what I was supposed to do. Pressing the advance key sometimes caused the timer to go down, and sometimes it didn't. I felt like more direction was needed. I really enjoyed the potential and concept tho.
Thanks for playing the game ^^
I see, maybe adding indicator if it's tie (same amount of lines between player's and enemies') is needed
I'll consider that ^^
Thanks for the input XD
Got to the exit, this is SUCH an interesting concept, a topological dungeon crawler.. very interesting game, really cool music and artstyle!
I think letting the player mess around and figure out how things work was good.. I'd really like to see more of this idea >:3
Thanks for playing the game ^^
I'm glad you liked the game XD
I also hope there's a chance to develop it further later XD
Thanks for your input ^^
Fun twist on the dungeon crawler genre, I didn't find the exit yet. :D A short tutorial would really help make the game more accessible.
Thanks for playing the game ^^
I'm sorry if the game is hard to understand :'
I think I'll add tutorial after the game jam
Thanks for the input XD
This game has some interesting concepts and i found it pretty fun, i just wish there was a way for the player to know more about how those systems work i got lost too many times.
Thanks for playing the game ^^
Yep, I think I'll add tutorial for the game later
Thanks for the input XD
Everyone posting "it was great once I figured out how to play"
Can someone explain how to play? In browser I can't click on anything in the player/door first screen.
Thanks for trying!
Are you able to drag with the mouse? Gameplay is mainly dragging to connect from controllable nodes to get to the door. If not, what browser are you using?
Got it, just couldn't see the blue lines due to my set-up. Completed it, very nice!
Thanks for playing the game ^^
I hope you liked it XD
by the way, I didn't realized that some colors are hard to see.
Is it a monitor setup thing?
Probably need to rethink the color scheme for the game later
Thanks for the input ^^
No, it's just that my study has very bright natural light! I don't think you need to worry about it affecting others.
Fun concept, and wonderful art choices! It was a bit confusing and would've liked to be guided more (at least at the beginning), since some actions were not completely intuitive for me.
Regardless, it feels like a unique game that fits the theme perfectly! Congrats on the submission! :)
Thanks for playing the game ^^
yeah maybe it's a bit confusing because there's no to little explanation on playing the game.
will consider about it ^^
and thanks again for the inputs XD
the concept is really cool, although i coudn't immediately figure out how to play it. The music sets the mood perfectly!
Thanks for playing the game XD
I see, seems like need to consider a plan to make it easier to explain the game
Thanks for the input ^^
