The graphics are simple, but I like the top-down 2.5d approach, and the rewind animation that occurs on death is a really cool touch that makes death feel less punishing \/ final.\nThe level design is pretty good, and I felt myself learning something on each round -- although it did feel a little frustrating later on when I'd have to spend about a minute doing what I'd just done in order to learn the next thing. If expanding the game, I'd suggest breaking it into smaller chunks earlier on so that the player gets a bit more easy progression at the start before getting thrown into the deep end.\nThe sound was minimal but appropriately so, it kept the focus and atmosphere tense.\nNice work! :)","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"StellarBearGames","author_uid":"1218983","time":"2020-10-09T20:13:07Z","epoch":1602274387,"modified":1602274387,"text":"Wow! 8 rescued with 0:41:51 remaining!

I think you balanced the game pretty well, giving what it seems a small amount time at the beginning, but in the end you learn and can make a plan to make it all work, and it's not like every second matters so you are allowed to make some little mistakes.\n\nI liked a lot that the experience here is not based on points or levels, but on the knowledge itself, learning the game and its rules one by one. At first, you are disoriented and manage to try just a few things, later on you discover more and more about the game, the map and so on and it makes for an immersive experience.\n\nVisually may not be the best, but how you handle the camera and the light really help the atmosphere.\nI think that controls could be improved to move a bit easily and not get stuck so often, also the use of the tools was a bit awkward, I would make it so that you just use the one needed if you have it without having to select it, also I would make so that if you click an item it auto replace the once you have.\nThat said, going mad trying to press r to put down the item, select the proper one, gave a feeling of stress and made me feel like I was him trying to find grasp the item while sweating (like in the films where they have to find the right key from the bunch in a hurry), so maybe, even though some improvement could be made, it should stay as it is! It's hard to tell.\nI also liked the rewind animation, it's cool, like the chamber with the weird thing flying resembling the project failure, very atmospheric.\n\nThe level design, just wow, you manage to unfold it piece by piece, I felt so immersive, it felt so real and made my knowledge of it even more worthy. Trying to find the best course was a pleasure. You also made it so that there are multiple ways of doing things. I just used mine but I guess others are available (for example, the red card behind all those piles of mud, I'm not sure how helpful can it be but who knows, maybe for some else was the way to go!).\n\nAt first, I didn't understand the tools were consumable and thought I dropped them somewhere, maybe that could be a little more clear?\nThe log also is very useful at the beginning, but maybe a pop up sort of list would have been better. Having to open the log window is a bit of a turn down, especially since you don't need it anymore later on I think it does not add that much to the tension of the game. If you want to keep it anyway, at least reset it between plays, I just closed and reopened the game to achieve that.\nThe map, though helpful, could be removed to add to the feeling of being lost and to the pleasure of discovering how big the place is by yourself, instead of having it spoiled from the beginning.\n\nI wish I could say more about what I think about this, but maybe it's better to stop here (for my brain too lol). Amazing experience, I really loved it!\nI'll close with this beautiful screenshot of the game of one of my sadly FAILED attempts =) I guess he didn't want me to be safe ahah\n\n![147.png](\/\/\/raw\/517\/6\/z\/3a27c.png)\n\n\nMan you MUST play and rate more games!
