I've just uploaded a fix: during a checkpoint your flame is now frozen and the banner tells you to stop and look, the same way reverse scroll tells you its rule up front.

Thanks for playing! Really glad the scam with 1.2M upvotes landed. "Popularity as camouflage" was exactly the idea, and the soup podcast is one of my favorites too.

On the checkpoint: yes, the drain is meant to keep running, but at a quarter of the normal rate. The idea is that you stop scrolling and hunt for the stars, and the stars follow the posts they're on. You've made a fair point, though: the banner never actually says "stop and look". It only says scrolling won't help, so chasing stars while you scroll is a natural thing to try, and it ends up testing your aim instead of your judgment. Reverse scroll tells you its rule up front, and the checkpoint should too. Thanks for spelling that out.

I enjoy the sound design with the slow guitar and wind rustling in the background. I like that the players choice has real consequences. Great game! Only thing id recommend is adding a tutorial in game for new players. 

Thanks! wanted to upload something more so for feedback first and then possibly lengthen the experience before the 1-BIT Jam deadline. Thanks for playing!

Thanks for trying it out! My best is 8:32!

Nice! yeah I don't think I have made it past 5 min myself! 

I definitely have some ideas to make the game more engaging. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the uplifting words! Yeah I had a really fun time making it!

Thanks for the rematch! Glad it checks out.

Thanks again for such a thorough run. Every point checked out, and I've fixed all five: steady scrolling now only keeps the flame at half (good calls fill the rest, and the combo needs judging to climb), the +150 only pays when you actually handle the event, the update banner wraps instead of cutting off, PLAY sits right under the title, and the page jump is gone. It turned out the game grabbing focus was scrolling the page, not the wheel itself. Judging also moved to A / D. If your metronome wants a rematch, it's live now.

Thanks working on updating it at the moment! Loving the feedback I am getting!

Tutorial was easy to understand and gameplay was very fun and interactive! I will be playing this more in the future for sure!

Awesome feedback! Thanks for checking it out!

Thank you so much, this made my night! It's my first comment on this one, so it means a lot. If you have a best score or a favorite post from the feed, I'd love to hear it!
