Yeah this game is sick, i got past the pink door and then had to put the game down the robot is lowkey scary very good work its hard to make something scary and the robot jumpscare and him going towards the spark was that
I really like the visuals and the vibe, the sound design is great as well. The rhythm game mechanic is a very cool idea but in practice I think the difficulty curve is far too sharp. Maybe I'm just a chud but I spent like 5 minutes trying to open the pink door and couldn't do it. Cool concept though!
The atmosphere you created with the combination of sound effects and the lighting combined was insanely good! I think the game does need to teach you a bit more in terms of the mechanics (if you hadn't read the description). It was unclear to me that you could jump until I got stuck near the beginning. Great concept and very intriguing story.
very nice athmospher, a little hard to understand at first tho, i was jjust in the first room with 2 fuse and a flashing door and really didnt understand what was going on, but in the end i was able to do 2 doors before that well the 3rd one idk what was up with it but i could never end the sequence even when i could swear i did it right, like it would just reset with 2 beats to do but still very nice
There is a tricky part at the end of the pink door sequence (3rd door). There are three quick notes right before it loops again. I'm sure if you follow the diamond light cue, you'll be able to open it and meet the robot.
Thanks for playing!
Atmosphere is incredible, and yea light timing mechanics are interesting. I agree with the comment below about light duration too haha, game is pretty dark.
This is a pretty cool, I like the atmosphere and the graphics of the game a lot. I will say the door opening mechanic is a bit rough, I don't know if my timings are off or if the game is just way too restrict, but other than that this is a cool game.
Interesting game, I wasn’t quite sure what to do at first. I found that I can take and insert fuses where ever there was some light, and eventually music started playing, but I wasn’t sure what to do after that.
One suggestion would be to make the sparks last longer, as by default there is basically no visibility (on my screen). The sparks only light things up for less than a second, which encourages me to spam click (which kind of hurts), and as you say could be bad for photo sensitivity.
Interesting idea overall!
Hi! Thank you for your comment. Once the music starts, you need to use the lighter to tap out the rhythm of the song. Match the beat and the door will open. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to playtest much, so there are rough moments like this.
Also thanks for the suggestion about the light duration. Thanks for playing!
