i had to stop at the mayor, sorry :( i got stuck and i couldnt figure out what i was doing wrongā¦ thatās not to say i dislike this game, i genuinely got stuck for like 30 minutes and i have so many games to play i figured itd be best to go to the next and maybe come back later!
that said this is a really interesting and different puzzle game from the other kinds, its fun stacking up gears together and making a path to the core, and the narrative really helps too! its exciting to get new clients and see what theyāre about, it gives the game a nice bit of extra depth. iām a big fan of when games are diegetic and thereās an extra reason for doing what we are doing. dialogue mid-level was a nice surprise, too! i havenāt even mentioned the art and the music which are both FANTASTIC, but the other commenters beat me to it!
criticismā¦ i think the tutorial being outside of the game is a little rough. i do like how you introduced mechanics slowly. i kept coming back to the tutorial to check what the new mechanic did this time. but i think it couldve been done in a way thats a bit more natural, like explaining during the level. having the tutorial image be a ācheatsheetā button in-game could be nice, too! also, some of the puzzles were a little tough to figure out what exactly you needed to do. the other one i got stuck in was the couples one with the person on love, but eventually i found out that for some reason my previous attempts didnāt count, so when i redid it and pressed the button it suddenly worked. it mightve been a glitch? speaking of bugs, i somehow managed to put a piece outside of the screen! its not an issue though because we can restart the level no problem if that happens!
TL;DR an improved tutorial in-game and clearer goals would do this game wonders!
by the way, howād you manage to do the custom fullscreen button?? thatās so cool, i didnāt know you could do that!
