It's a real brain-teaser! I wasn't able to get past the third reversal. I'd love to see a youtube video of the gameplay. Great graphics, just wish there were sound. Clever idea randomizing the keys the way you did. That must have taken a lot of planning and effort.

Detailed Review

[ + + + - - ] :: ENJOYMENT

It wasn't my cuppa, but I've seen that other people had fun with it! I wish that there were an on-screen keyboard layout to help my fingers guess where the right buttons were. That probably would have helped me a lot!

[ + + + + -] :: CREATIVITY

Clever idea to randomize the keys! I felt like there could have been some more depth to the game, but it was a very solid concept which I think has plenty of room for growth!

[ + + + - - ] :: PRESENTATION

Really wished there were music and sound (was there? I've been having audio issues. Let me know if I missed it). Still, you did an amazing job with the graphics and animations! I would generally give 2 stars for the partial presentation, but I give it 3 for good visuals.

This is the type of comment I'm looking for in game jams.

First of all, thanks for your honest input! I appreciate the time you spend playing the game and leaving a meaningful review. I'm glad you enjoyed the visuals and the concept.

As I said to others, we had the usual game jam issues and the project is severely unpolished. The game has no sound at all and the character controller leaves a lot to be desired, but the clock was ticking.

I really wanted to add a UI displaying the current configuration, I think it's quite anti-player and unfair not only to ask the player to play Twister on their keyboard but also to memorize the current key bindings. Even if the intention was to make a rage game, the lack of polish made the game harder than intended.
