There were a lot of comments about controls not being clear, but when you open the game it says on the bottom in yellow letters how to play; can you elaborate on what isn't clear about those instructions. Also in description it says `Border around the key will be created on the side in which the arrow is pointing.` With regards to resetting sorry time ran out before i could add that.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"posho","author_uid":"1111823","time":"2018-08-16T01:44:41Z","epoch":1534383881,"modified":1534384104,"text":"I love that the game feels and sounds like an old DOS game. At first I got very confused until I payed extra attention to the screen, and to my surprise, the map IS  keyboard!\n\nThis is a really interesting concept and it is unlike anything I've seen before so I believe some fleshing out could probably lead to something really cool.\n\nIf I had anything to suggest you to improve is to give an indication on the map about where the keys would be. Most of the time I ended up trying to calculate which key was related to the wall I wanted to create, but with a fast ball moving around it becomes kind of hard.\n\nOverall this is a great concept and I would tell you to improve on it. Congrats!\n\nHere's a small gift:\n\n![Animate_2018-08-15_20-43-11.png](\/\/\/raw\/fc4\/b1\/z\/19ea5.png)\n\n**[Edit]** Hey, by the way... I saw you rated my game before I had the chance to edit the page. I would appreciate it if you went back to it and gave it a proper review if possible.
