The core mechanics were really simple yet they worked really well, and the movement was spot on. It was very fluid and easy to control. The graphics as well worked really well, they were so simple yet at the same time they told you all the information you needed to know in the game area. The lack of sound was slightly dissapointing, and I feel even some music could work really well in this game. And it may be slightly obvious from my comments above, but some instructions would clear up some of the more confusing areas. I also found that when unloading into the van, sometimes it didn't unload, the counter would come up but nothing would happen. I am however sounding slightly negative, but I really had fun with this, and I would honestly really enjoy seeing a post-compo version being made.\n\nP.S. In Gamemaker a lot of people often prefer using a zip file rather than an installer for LudumDare, it's just easier for the reviewers","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"MarjorieP","author_uid":"1055230","time":"2017-12-10T00:40:18Z","epoch":1512866418,"modified":1512866418,"text":"got an error when i started the game and tried to interact: \n\n___________________________________________\n############################################################################################\nFATAL ERROR in\naction number 1\nof Keyboard Event for D-key Key\nfor object obj_player:\n\nMoving to next room after the last room.\nat gml_Object_obj_player_Keyboard_68\n############################################################################################\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Shephard Joseph","author_uid":"1051504","time":"2017-12-10T01:28:22Z","epoch":1512869302,"modified":1512869302,"text":"@marjoriep Sorry to hear that. When I played around with the 1st release of the game I noticed I forgot to remove the D key from being used to skip to next room for debugging(ironic, i know). It saddly didn't work, crashed the game and i got the same error as you.\n\nControles are arrow keys + space bar to use + c for slower walk.\n\nThanks for giving the game a go and leaving some feedback.

Thanks for giving it another shot. I appreciate you taking time to write up so much advice and having that much patience to come back for another go.\n\nWhen it comes to sound and general explanation of the mechanics to the player, they ended up gettting pushed to the side to actually finish. I was creating the installer minutes before the deadline. I nearly cried when 15mns from the end i noticed deleted one of levels. Thank god for back ups ! \n\nThanks for the tip for the folder. I can see how having to install, play and then uninstall a game on your computer could really put people off . I guess this is the kind of noob mistake i have to learn from - -'.\n\nAnyway thanks again !
