Thank you so much for your very kind comments! I really appreciate it.
I'm going to try to ease up the Story Mode experience a bit. I’ll figure out a way to better explain the mechanics in the first episode while also reducing the difficulty for that specific level.
It looks like you played for quite a while! Between the Challenge Mode rounds and the other content, did you play for about an hour and a half? I’m glad you enjoyed it, and a score of 29,700 is actually very good for a first-timer! I’m assuming you reached level 20 in the Challenge Mode?
Regarding the backgrounds: the town plaza is by far my least favorite too, haha! I’d like to replace that one eventually, either before or after the full release. Thank you for the detailed feedback on the visuals; I’ll definitely take those notes into account.
Tbh i think the biggest problem right now might be catching people at the beginning...
I am definitely aware of this. There is an initial "threshold" for new players that can be tough, but once it finally "clicks," people really start to love the game. I’m thinking of ways to make that introduction more pleasant. I also understand the game might not be for everyone.
By the way, you can also play the game casually in windowed mode like this (see attached pic). I intended for it to be a chill experience, similar to Minesweeper like you mentioned.
Thanks again! I hope to see you at the next DD!
