I really appreciate you taking the time to play and for the feedback darkfenix, really great points! I think I failed to make the backtracking part of the experience more rewarding and less frustrating since that has been a common pain-point, so I look forward to taking all that feedback and improving that system moving forward!
Thanks again!
No worries, I hear ya! I think the backtracking is fine if you continue development outside the jam. For game jams specifically, I notice we’re all playing so many games that patience tends to wear thin, so even the smallest amount of friction might stop us from continue playing. Of course I’m speaking from my own experience as I’ve made my game too difficult for the jam and people have noted that in the comments. So for future jams I’m easing up on the difficulty, but I think it’s fine to keep the difficulty outside the jam.
