Hello I have put a game up for beta testing. I would appreciate people telling me how the page looks and how the game plays / feels, bugs found, if the GUI is good in game and in the menus.  Other feedback would be good as well, I do have a google form if people are interested that has all the questions I could think of for the game.

Here is the link to the game

Just tried out your game. Here is some feedback.

I would recommed uploading project as zip file. I think people dislike installers.
There seemed to be some weird lag in menu. (Game was lagging in general)

Beginning was bit confusing . I understood that you are supposed to get out of some kind of dark room based on narrators instruction, but i found it really confusing. You cant really tell what direction you are supposed to be facing. Narrator said "You can feel the wall to left of you". Then i kept pressing up and it just keeps repeating the same line. Is there some kind of infinite space where im going?

I tried again from the beginning and actually found wooden wall this time and got out of the room pretty easily, but during my first play through is was only getting lines about walls. I dont know if it was bugged or something, since it seemed to be very small room :D

I got stuck to the part when wizard killed you. Having to listen same narrations multiple times got bit annoing. Maybe you could make narrations skippable.
Also there seemed to be some weird black stuff on screen.

The  "You can feel the wall to left of you" being repeated was because you where looking at the door out of that room. I am going to have to add info to that line to say the door is there each time. 

The lines are skippable, the helpme.txt that has info on what buttons can be used to do that. The only time something is not skippable is if it has an image as part of the line.

I would like a screenshot of the weird black stuff if possible, I am not sure what it is based on that description.

That small  scribble above character.

Okay, nothing in that screenshot is abnormal. That black thing on the screen is a closed eye, if you get into the level far enough you would see what happens with that.
