Interesting gameplay and artwork, but I found it hard to move around

Interesting idea. While the movement was forward focused, I could deal with that if I knew where to go. But I was having trouble orienting anything as the letters and world I found bled into each other enough I couldn't really see if a object was the letter I wanted without stopping and looking. This lead me to just running to each glowing spot and hoping it was the right one.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! The goal for the gameplay loop was to use the longer earlier rounds to memorize what landmarks letters are near (some clusters spell words, etc.), so that in latter rounds the stress comes from trying to remembering where they are and orient based on the landmarks, not the actual letters. I think I could have explained that more explicitly.

really cool visuals and atmosphere. moving around was wonky though.

This was a fun concept, though wish the movement would have slightly more polish, but overall, this was nice

Developer

Thanks! I intentionally made it so you can easily lose forward momentum and ASD are super slow. I wanted to promote always running forward as you try to orient yourself.  But it could definitely use a lot more polish.
