Great narrative framing, really enjoyed the writing. The transition from static puzzle game to gun golf was an… interesting juxtaposition. I think Gun Golf could be a good mini-game on it’s own if you had more control over the gun itself, but then maybe wouldn’t fit the narrative quite so well.
I like the story and the narration a lot, really worked well and had me hooked through the entire thing. I will say that I found the first two gameplay segments a bit confusing, and the third was mildly infuriating because my mouse kepts moving ever so slightly and completely throwing off my aim. I believe the deadzones could be set a bit better with the gun aiming. Still enjoyable, I had a nice time with it!
I like how the entrepreneurs story is one of repeated attempts, failures, and eventual success!.. Only to be met with dismay. I found some of the minigames fun, but I had difficulty aiming when making small adjustments. Slowly moving my mouse to the right would cause the camera to drift a little to the left, not sure if that's an issue on my side but regardless, still a fun experience!
This is cool, very Stanley's Parable, I wish i could sprint but i understand why I can't LOL
I liked the atmosphere and the jokes about said atmosphere. Well written and well done!
Loved the narration, immaculate humerous walking simulator vibes a la Stanley Parable. The whole game feels like an allegory for coming up with a game idea for a game jam, haha. Overall I enjoyed it.
I did get confused at both of the first two levels though: I had to read the description to understand you need to go back to proceed at the first level, and I walked straight into the scoring area for the 2nd level (but refreshes so I can attempt the puzzle).
yeah i wish i had a bit more time and energy towards the end there to make some of these points way more clear and less confusing! Glad you like the narration!
I really liked the idea of the last room with the gun on the countdown but unfortunately it lagged and stuttered quite a bit! Also I guess I have a strong expectation that hitting "shift" will make me move faster because I was surprised to crouch several times lol! I appreciated the extensive settings menu available, but it would have been nice to be able to adjust it mid-game when I had a better sense for how the mouse moved, etc. Unique take on the theme!
oh you could adjust it mid game, I should have written that large that P/Pause/Controller Start brings up a pause-screen with the settings available! Thanks for the feedback though!
Voice acting adds such charm to this game, and the vibes are on point. I wish I was a little smarter to solve the 2nd puzzle, I wanted to see what would happen if I did! I loved this game, good job!
A very cool idea of the game, also I love how the read stuff is almost studio quality clean. Sadly, the game crashes on my pc at some points because it's very weak. But I will still rate this what I saw, and I loved it :)
for my future optimization attempts, which rooms did you get to play? Count-down clock? Sports-Counting? Gun Golfing?
