I want to start by saying that I like really the art and the music. The maps end up very cluttered with all the trails which makes it hard to decipher them. I wasn't able to kill a single thing, but you've said there's no combat yet. The missiles seem really weird to me at least. I would have liked a little of an explanation of exactly what is and isn't in the game yet. I was left very confused as to how much of the game I had actually experienced. I don't know how you die, and don't understand how it incorporates Persistence into it because of that. I enjoyed what parts of the game i could access but I definitely feel you should have focused on a game loop that is clearly explained on your game's page before anything else.

That was a distinctly strange experience. It was quite interesting trying to decipher the controls and make things happen, and it was pretty rewarding when I got things working. The strange music and art actually added to the experience a bit, whether or not it was intentional, it all added the the "alienness" of the experience. That said sometimes it seemed like things didn't actually work, like the missiles didn't seem to actually do anything, although maybe I was misinterpreting what I saw. That took away from the feeling of discovery when I deciphered the controls since I put effort into figuring it out then they didn't work the way I expected, but that may just be due to the game being in progress. I noticed the page says it's about half done so definitely keep working on it, I think it'll be super cool once you get it all working!

Hi! I don't know if you made a mistake submitting this - the deadline is actually end of March (we're not the 7DRL). I don't know if you can retract your submission, but you can definitely keep uploading newer versions until then.
