Thanks for the response. Regarding the download file, just wanted to make you aware that there was an html file available for download on the game's page. I figured that might have been accidental. It's no biggie, though
Placing some dialogue would definitely help with the first segment! It's not immediately clear to the player that both consoles will act differently. I tried activating it again with what you said and it still doesn't seem to work.
I kept pressing down while like this (I'm on the left) and I tried moving myself and the hostage around while pressing the down key and I couldn't seem to activate it.
I'm using Google Chrome on Windows 11 if that helps.
EDIT: I finally got the console to work, but it doesn't seem to work consistently. I kept having to re-position the player and hostage around quite a bit before the button actually activates it. I'm not sure why.
