Missed the rating for the jam, but you kept being amazing and supporting the stream so here we are playing your awesome demo, LIVE! Was a really good concept and fun to explore! Can't wait for more of your games!!!

Very fitting game to the theme. Right away the game got my attention.

  • I felt like the tutorial was dragging a bit. I had to walk quite a while before seeing the next instruction. And this is also the case for the whole game.
  • It feels like I'm walking for no purpose. There needs to be a purpose for my walking or otherwise it just won't be fun.
  • The game is also confusing which can be good if done properly. I didn't really know where to go. 
  • A better indication of what is dangerous would be good, The falling letters were unsafe, but later they were safe, which is confusing. A simple color would be enough of an indicator. Also a death effect or delay before being sent back to the last checkpoint so you can know what you died to.
  • I would place checkpoints more frequently. I walked a long distance, died and had to walk all the way back.
  • You need a way to return to your last checkpoint. I got softlocked and pressed R but it send me to the beginning of the level.

This game has great potential. I am curious how it's gonna turn out like if you continue making it.

-The tutorial was made intentionally like that.

  • It feels like I'm walking for no purpose. There needs to be a purpose for my walking or otherwise it just won't be fun.

-In the tutorial or in level 7 too?

  • The game is also confusing which can be good if done properly. I didn't really know where to go. 

-The idea was to always go down thtas how you advanced, im not sure how to answer that one ill need more people to give me feedback on this one for calibration.

  • A better indication of what is dangerous would be good, The falling letters were unsafe, but later they were safe, which is confusing. A simple color would be enough of an indicator. Also a death effect or delay before being sent back to the last checkpoint so you can know what you died to.

-I havent thought of a good way to change it, il think  of ideas for it

  • I would place checkpoints more frequently. I walked a long distance, died and had to walk all the way back

-Totally agree i already made changes in the updated version

  • You need a way to return to your last checkpoint. I got softlocked and pressed R but it send me to the beginning of the level.

-100% agree most players had the same issue, this is being  adresed in the updated version

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback.

-The tutorial was made intentionally like that.

  • Well it's good it's intended, but what is the reason behind it. What do you want the player to feel?

-In the tutorial or in level 7 too?

  • level 7 too, you could just make the distance shorter if there is nothing to do along the way other than walk.

-The idea was to always go down thtas how you advanced, im not sure how to answer that one ill need more people to give me feedback on this one for calibration.

  • I did intuitionally go down, but at times went left when i had to go right and vice versa, thats not a big issue, but what i was confused about was for example the big moving letters that i had to use as an elevator and the bridge where you type I didn't at first realize

-I havent thought of a good way to change it, il think of ideas for it

  • I think if you just make the letters that kill red, it becomes pretty obvious, this is a very common pattern and the player will probably also assume it is dangerous at first.

The opening is such a good hook, I 100% thought something bugged out at first, then the title drop hit and I was like  "ohhh okay this is cool" lol.

The whole letters/words-as-the-world idea is super creative, and the part where you literally type out your own path/bridge is such a cool moment. The black-and-white look and the quiet eerie audio fits the horror mood really well too. Very strange and on theme, in a good way.

Developer(+1)

Yeah everybody thinks its a bug xd.  But for what everyone is saying and you too when the tittle hits its super rewarding so i guess il leave it like that. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at the playthrough again in the future here's the VOD timestamped to your game

i saw it on stream :)

Thanks to you playthrough i updated it so its easier for the player. 

Dificulty was way to high for the horror experience . Thanks alot for the feedback .

Submitted

Very wild. Strange places definitely fits here!

Developer

Thanks for playing! New updates coming soon!

Submitted

FREAKY but in a good way. Like others, I thought the intro was awesome that’s such a cool effect. Also loved how everything was made of words and letters, especially when you typed your own bridge. Overall super cool and unique! (and strange)

Developer

Thanks for playing it. Glad you enjoyed it! 

Submitted

The opening intro was absolutely fucking insane. The visuals are really simple but it works, the audio creates an eerie atmosphere. I loved the part where you literally type out your path. I unfortunately got stuck and soft locked myself in the part as the typed bridge ends, where letters fall into a pit.

Great work though!

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it. That last part of the falling letter might change in the future. Thanks for playing it!

EPIC intro! Was about to report an "infinite falling" bug so that was an extremely pleasant surprise. Very original level design, and I think your audio was excellent, really sets the mood. Gameplay-wise, I felt like I was roaming a bit aimlessly without a good sense of where I should be going or why - but I suppose such is the nature of the mind, or something like that. Well done :)

Developer(+1)

Yeah most people think it's a bug the first time. level 7 was meant to be like that but due to time constraint it isnt as polished.

Thanks for playing it!!

As others have stated, the intro sequence was well done. The game is good, with a lot of creative ideas. I really enjoyed it!

Developer

The last part of the Game has a similar mechanic to yours where letters fall and have their own colition. Thats why i likes your Game too.

Submitted(+1)

Very creative game, I love the concept and the 

I think the game very well created the intended (I think) unsettle and confusion feeling while playing. It really feels like a dream sequence.

there are a few times where I get stuck because of collision and sometimes there distance between respawn points are to long, but nothing a little patch can fix.

Very well done! love it!

Developer

Yeah that last part i ran out of time to fix it. It haunts me xd. Thanks for playing it.

Submitted(+1)

A very creative idea, it fits perfectly with the theme! At first, I didn't realize I was in the intro; some feedback to make that clear would be great. Nice job, guys!

Developer

Thanks Man Apreciate it :)

the intro was fantastic, very cool start to the game, love the black and white and the soft quiet soundtrack!

Developer

Most people think the game is bugged when they first see it xd. Thanks man

I weirdly enjoyed that lmao. 

Developer

Glad you liked it!!

That was super cool! The title drop in the intro scene literally gave me chills what an incredible opening to an incredible game. The vibes are great too. The part where you have to type your own path was super neat and I have no clue how you managed to implement that but it's amazing. Fantastic work!

Developer(+1)

the title came as a bug so i tweked it to be that playing with the fall speed. and the letter bridge is an area 2d triger after that all input turn into text into a label and after that making the colisionmatch the labels size, added a limit and a reset. Thanks for playing it :)

Firstly, that introduction scene is really, really good, I didnt see that coming at all, I thought that was your entire game at first, then it came up LOL. Your level design is actually elite tier too, it flowed nicely and the text focus felt pretty innovative. Despite always feeling slightly lost and bewildered I always seemed to be moving in the right direction, thats a brilliant sign that you have a good understanding of your players. I feel like the artwork could do with a fresh coat of paint here and there, but other than that I enjoyed my time with this, thanks for sharing :) 

Developer

Thanks man. Level design is the part i like the most.

:)

Glad you enjoyed it!

I liked the typing section, the main and only issue is that R resets the game, and many times I tried to type the letter R and reset myself. I think reset should be something like TAB or ESC so that doesn't accidentally happen. Otherwise I found the eerie vibe quite enjoyable. I would love to see what a full version of this game would be like.

Developer

Youre right haven considered that outcome il think of something.

Thanks for playing!!

I really liked your ideas for lvl 7 like the typing characters while you move, and the tetris style section, and that title screen was great. I would say to refine the controls a bit more, and maybe add more sound effects for moving or dying. Great game 

Developer

Thanks for playing. Glad you liked it.
