the cap on mana makes it very hard to ever look away and slow down like you seem to want the player to do. It's a hard task to fight against ones mind and becomes harder with every barrier requiring a hurdle. If you want a player like me to slow down having a system that requires me to focus in order to not "miss out" feels wrong.
Hi Triglycerides, thank you for taking your time and giving feedback :) I’m happy that people actually try the game and write something about it! If you’re at the mana cap, you don’t miss anything. You still gather Mana but with a slower pace (10% of you current mana per second).
If you have any recommendations or suggestions let me know.
