Hi! I liked it! sadly I guess my experience was a bit spoiled. I checked the info before hand because in the beginning honestly, I didn't know what to do. I tried to use the mouse, and then the arrow keys and nothing happened, so I just thought maybe I could find some controller information in the info section. I'm not a hard core gamer so it took me a while to realize that I had to use aswd to move. At some point I even thought that the whole point of the game is that you cannot even move hahaha. So yeah maybe just a controller box in the beginning would be amazing, and the text from the info section should just appear when you finish the game.
Other than that well done!
That's true there's no control-information anywhere. :D
This is where we see game literacy and the downside of being so used to that WASD is where you immediately go when you try to move.
I should probably atleast accomodate arrowkeys if I intend to keep it with no tutorial. Perhaps it being difficult to move actually does feed into the message behind the experience :D
Thanks for playing!
That's true 😊 I think more control options would be great!
Thanks for doing QA for me :D
This accomplished exactly what it set out to do, the way you laid it out in the info section! Great work :]
Thanks! You're my first playtester so I'm glad it had the desired effect :D
