The puzzle solving gets a bit boring after some time (did I do something wrong?) and does not feel connected to the theme or the story.

It only feels as though it is lacking in what you're actually supposed to do. It was nice, just not a lot of real gameplay. Anyway, great graphics, loved the style!"},{"author_name":"evilentity","author_uid":"26880","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 1:47pm","epoch":1408974120,"text":"Some tutorial puzzle would be great, have no clue!"},{"author_name":"clofresh","author_uid":"19694","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 1:47pm","epoch":1408974120,"text":"Interesting island ambience, though not sure what the benefit of an fps view for a sudoku game is"},{"author_name":"sthreet","author_uid":"25254","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 9:33pm","epoch":1409002080,"text":"Only change I would suggest would be making the fact that it is four squares more obvious."},{"author_name":"panurge","author_uid":"21166","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 8:47am","epoch":1409042520,"text":"I don't really agree with most of the other comments. I thought this game worked beautifully and it's one of my favourite experiences of this LD so far.\r\rThe little sudoku puzzles were pretty self-explanatory and worked very well to give the game some structure. They were relatively easy to solve but not so easy that they didn't require a bit of thought - perfectly balanced to drive the game along without becoming frustrating.\r\rThe incentive for playing them, of course was the story. This was handled beautifully - mysterious and oddly touching. I only wish I'd had a bit more closure at the end. I finished all the totems but the last message left me expecting more. Did I miss something?\r\rVisuals and music are great. Together with the day\/night cycle they create real ambience.\r\rAltogether, a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Thanks!"},{"author_name":"Franklins Ghost","author_uid":"35424","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 1:42pm","epoch":1409060220,"text":"One of my favourites so far.
