Hi DietDrMilk,

Thanks for the feedback! 
Regarding the onboarding, I agree that the menu/gameplay issue is frustrating. I thought that I already had a solve in place for this, but it seems like a few players had this same feedback, so there must be something I haven't accounted for yet. The character should not be moveable while still in th menu. This will be fixed for the next build. 

You had a great callout about the starting area. I think from now on I will start the player in the actual level and let them get used to the controls through the tutorial first. (also will fix the "fall through the level" bug)

Regarding reabability, I know I have a lot of work to do here. Still undecided on how to handle the radiation blocks. I've gone back and forth on them throughout development. 

And lastly, for the radiation sucking, I need to make a major decision around the sucking mechanic. Agreed that it's lacking major feedback most of it is placeholder at the moment. (I may even remove it entirely. we'll see)

Thanks again,

Alan

Thanks for the reply!

Readability was also an issue for the blocks you couldn't land on either (ones with an X). Not sure if it was on purpose, a missing upgrade, or something I didn't understand. I just figure the X meant I couldn't stand on it, but at that point I wasn't sure why it was there.

As far as the radiation blocks go, affordances and signifiers go a long way. So if they shared color/appearance to the radiation clouds, the connection may be stronger. You could also have like a sound cue when approaching radiation like the radioactive detector static commonly found in games.  

Thanks! Readability will be a big part of the next build once I take care of some of the jank and collision/collection issues first. Thanks again for your feedback and followup. Hope you'll give the next build a try to see if it plays better!
