And then the countdown sequence started, and all sorts of doubt went through my mind. &quot;I'm definitely not qualified for this, I was just following on screen instructions... I'VE ONLY DONE THIS IN VR TRAINING LET ME OUT&quot;. Then everything is okay because the launch ended up going alright, confidence restored.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think the main thing that did end up taking away from my enjoyment was how direct and controlled the whole experience was. The only part that I truly felt like I had direct control over was the pitch, everything else I turned on or off because of the plainly obvious instructions. There wasn't any experimentation, I never really felt like I learned how to do anything or that I had to learn in the first place. The game led me with a carrot at the end of a stick the whole time, and even if I wanted to try to flip some other buttons on\/off I couldn't. I can't, say, turn the engine off mid-flight like an idiot, or turn the radio off and pretend I'm going AWOL. It's just not allowed and that really breaks me from the experience. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Another bit of criticism was how the game ends (both when you succeed or fail). If you try to crash, you get this really sudden and static &quot;game over&quot; screen. It was just way too sudden, and a quick fade to black\/white with a crash sound would have probably gone a long way to help with the consistency of the rest of the game. Actually even just a slow fade to black as you enter the fail state would have been a pretty effective transition by itself (then fade the game over screen in).\r<br\/>The &quot;win&quot; screen was pretty much the same, a smoother transition would have gone a long way to help reinforce the mood of the rest of the game. Of course, I understand that stuff didn't make it because of time constraints. It was just sort of disappointing to leave such an atmospheric experience on a flat note.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, it's a really nice atmospheric experience which is excellent for Ludum Dare. 5 stars in graphics, audio and mood. But it sort of drops the ball a bit as an engaging interactive experience, so that aspect would need to be addressed more if you continue work on this."},{"author_name":"martial_cantarel_games","author_uid":"47216","time":"Dec 26, 2014 @ 1:08am","epoch":1419555780,"text":")))))"},{"author_name":"feiss","author_uid":"8733","time":"Dec 26, 2014 @ 11:13am","epoch":1419592080,"text":"Hoqjed: thank you so much for sharing your ideas and feelings.
