For example, every time I finish to fix one item, looks like that the player is stuck and I can change from one place to the other easily. Also, the I got stuck with the collision of the doors and some of the walls in between.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Galactic Chimp","author_uid":"1190913","time":"2020-04-22T18:19:24Z","epoch":1587579564,"modified":1587579564,"text":"Thanks for the feedback :) I think the control problem is caused by me using a box collider instead of a capsule collider :\/ but thanks for bringing it to my attention.

It felt like I was failing because the movement was too slow rather than because I hadn't mastered the controls yet, it made me lose motivation to keep trying to get better. Perhaps a greater time limit for earlier levels to let you get the hang of it a bit more at the start would make it more fun.\n\nAlso would love some audio to go with this - it would quickly be very atmospheric and cool! Great effort for a compo game though, very well done :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Undead Aubergine","author_uid":"1203495","time":"2020-04-22T18:24:04Z","epoch":1587579844,"modified":1587579844,"text":"I like the minimalistic art, had to replay many times!

And the game in this form is actually really tense, I like that a lot. It is a bit frustrating to get stuck on every wall, but I actually think removing that might make the game a bit too easy.

As others have mentioned, the controls were difficult - especially when the character \"snagged\" on a wall - and I think that the game would be more compelling if the player felt more in control, so that their failure to match the timer felt more as a result of their tangible actions than \"oh, my hitbox hit the wall and I stopped. :(\". I liked the first server level particularly - it had a nice puzzle element to it in figuring out the fastest path, and I think that combination of puzzle + speed is what could make this game really fun. \n\nOne major suggestion: there is, far as I can tell, no way to restart a level except for letting the timer run out. It didn't feel great to realize that you weren't fast enough at the start, then have to twiddle your thumbs for a minute.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"n8___","author_uid":"1002540","time":"2020-04-27T00:30:07Z","epoch":1587947407,"modified":1587947407,"text":"Very nice looking.
