As feedback: I would have liked to be able to use WASD for movement, as it feels more modern, especially since the mouse could handle looking around. Switching over to the arrow keys felt a bit awkward.
Also, it was sometimes quite hard to hit the exact spot where the wave gets accepted. A bit more leniency there might make the gameplay feel more satisfying.
Other than that, its a really great project for such a short time. I am always impressed by what can be created using just primitives!
Many great touches all around. Nice to tinker with the waves to some relaxing music. Unfortunately the company didn't appreciate my relaxed approach and promptly fired me for not delivering fast enough. I struggled with my third wave, which was really wide, lots of back and forth between the dials.
Felt good to control. I guess if you didn't have the mouse look for the camera, you could've made the mouse turn the dials in a tactile way, but this works too. I do wish they turned faster.
Nice and simple game but with a lot of polish to make it feel great, cool stuff!
