The graphics and the music add to the mood. Whenever I ran into multiple dead ends in a row though, it felt like I lost due to random chance (and I think I actually did).

Most of the time I could head straight up for a bit and get far enough away to just silence the music completely (which I do want to point out was a nice touch). It's good to get a head start, especially since The Void can catch up to you extremely quickly, but games where you don't get one get really difficult really quickly. My first run was one where I started on a branch that only went *down*, which was just absolutely horrendous. Luckily the games are short and the music is an absolute banger, which made me try again.\n\nOther than that, the game's great. Like I said: the music's a genuine banger, the graphics are simple but good and the game felt responsive. The extra occult rooms (the \"Space\" ones) were a nice touch to keep you on your toes, as was the fact that making any mistake increased The Void's pace too. This makes it feel like it's your own fault for losing. Or it would do that if you weren't getting messed over by the RNG.\n\nAll in all, it's a great game, and you did an amazing job taking into account it's a Ludum Dare.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"phaze0","author_uid":"1001429","time":"2018-04-29T18:05:12Z","epoch":1525025112,"modified":1525025112,"text":"Quite a fun mix of genres, though far too often I get a start that doesn't let me advance more than three tiles up.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"boats","author_uid":"1011368","time":"2018-04-30T01:53:01Z","epoch":1525053181,"modified":1525053181,"text":"@Snowy Incredibly constructive comment, thank you!
