Hey ParsleyBunny, thanks for checking out Do What They Say! Do you have the latest version of the game? A lot of the problems you have mentioned have been addressed in recent patches (other than the scroll wheel speed, I'll look into that one today) so it may be worth you downloading again and trying it out.
If you don't get around to it, thanks for playing and leaving useful feed back anyway, but if you do try again and the issues are still present, drop me another comment and I'll do another round of balancing!
Thanks again!
Thanks so much for all your hard work, it's difficult to make a game in such a short time and I think you did a really good job.
Last time I was definitely playing the latest build and not the old one. I downloaded it again tonight and tried again and I was able to beat it! The scrolling felt much better. The redacting felt a little better too but maybe that's just in my head?
Something that helped was knowing that if I finish the last redaction in a round, the doors will close by themselves.
Another technique that was useful is using the couch when both doors are open. When you press F it will teleport you to the couch, then press F again to stand up, and it lets you cross the room very quickly.
And thank you for giving it another try! I think what makes it easier/harder randomly is the number of redactions per page. This is randomised and not part of the difficulty spikes, so with some bad luck you may have to do 5 * 6+ redactions in 90 seconds in the final round! Definitely a learning moment for me, don't link difficulty to RNG lightly!
