Cute game! Would love more depth and subtelty in how to adjust the radio, maybe a bigger grace period, or some other kind of way to make it feel more fair but also interesting.
Take a look at Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop, it may inspire :)
Fun little game. The granny has a nice style too her. Seemed like there were times when I'd use the slider and it wouldn't find the correct frequency until I tried a couple times.
The full screen button at the lower right corner overlays on top of the end of the slider, making it impossible to click to set the slider button there, or if I slide the slider button all the way there, then I can't drag it to a different position without triggering the full-screen. When in full screen, the right side of the game got cropped off.
Like the other commented, there were times I clicked through the whole slider and still could not find the station.
Is the game about clicking through the slider fast enough plus with some luck to find that secret position before time's up?
Ah thanks for pointing it out, I will fix that issue.
As to answer your question, I didn't really think the details of the mechanics while making the game so I don't really know that myself ＼(@_@)/
Fun concept, the grandma is a good asset!
It took me a couple of trys to realise I need to RELEASE the mouse for the slider to take effect. This feels a little unintuitive as sliding/turning a radio dial irl has immediate effects. It was also quite challenging given how fast you lose health and how the frequency changes felt random. I also wasn't sure whether there'd be a win state, or whether it's just a "survive as long as you can" kinda experience.
Please give my game a go if you get the opportunity :)
Nice little slider game.
It felt like there were a few times where I tried to check the whole slider, and it still did not satisfy the grandma.
