I found it so pleasing it was hard to stop.
You can see how my energy is post-jam due to the lack of feedback lol!
I will list some thoughts:
- I loved and found it so pleasing in the controller vibration and the sounds. It’s so regalious how each instrument has a different sound.
- I found myself half lost about where I was (galaxies-stars-planets-moons) but it also didn’t impact me. I felt I was just exploring, basically. I don’t need to feel like I know exactly where I am. What’s important is just exploring, and that was enough. I didn’t really care much where I was. And I think that’s really cool and interesting.
- I don’t know how to check where I’m at and all those details (name of star, credits, details) without exiting and re-entering the place where I’m at. Is there a button to do that? I guess I should check the manual. But with all the tutorial things, I missed that one haha.
- I did feel the tutorial might have had too many prompts? I wonder if you could try a version with some less prompts? Not outright without them, but fewer? Maybe having the option for the three ways - not tutorial, little tutorial, complete tutorial.
- I loved exploring things in the stars and everything with my controller. I loved it visually and sonically. It’s so weird and mesmerizing. The stars, I think, are beautiful.
- I would like an option to lock the instrument exploration at a specific point, so I can play it and keep it at a specific note while I then explore the other hemisphere. In a mobility way, that I could choose where one would be while I explore the other, if I want to rest my hands from being both exerting this strenght and position in a specific place at the same time.
- It’s so addicting and nice and pleasing, and you are amazing.
Fun: 4 or 5 out of five. Polish: 5 out of 5. Creativity: 5 out of 5.
It’s very experimental and I love the art and heart you put into this.
It’s weird to call it a game in the mainstream sense of the word, and yet, it’s a thing. It’s am experimental life thing that keeps you there, swimming, diving, exploring, I don’t know! It’s so interesting. You are interesting haha. Thank you for making this game!
Edit: Oh I forgot to say I experienced some bugs. The music was distorted a lot of times, and I also did the feat of breaking it a few times, when it stopped playing and I could only hear the screen reader and feel the controller vibration. Hey, at least you have those to fallback to, but yeah, it got me to an interesting experience, when I thought “wow this moon is so interesting. I can barely hear because it’s so bassy and quiet”. Well, turns out I really couldn’t hear it. But it gives me an idea and suggestion for a bassy instrument that I can barely hear. Maybe it’s already there and I just need to find it, but yeah!
Also I also experienced the queieing up on the screen reader, like Jesse said.
That’s all, I think! Congratulations again!
