I can only get a few bombs planted. I think the experience I am having would work great after I've accelerated through couple tens of seconds of gameplay and would be the pinnacle moment, but this way I can only get a few (defined by HoMaM as 1-4) bombs to blow corridors before my untimely perish...\n\nThe graphics looks very nice, the sounds are quite good except for the audible loop repeat, and the idea is splendid, however it is all undermined by tough\/unbalanced difficulty.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":662700,"author_name":"Bamallama","author_uid":"bamallama","epoch":1619621030,"text":"Atmosphere of the game is really unique, and I love the concept!

The difficulty is also increased by our inability to synchronize the beats well (which is super important in a rhythm game), and also by our inability to communicate controls better to players.\n\nThe audible music looping is part of our synchronization problem. We will look into it, but probably won't post a fix, I feel like that defeats the purpose of setting a deadline during LDJAMs.\n\nThanks for your feedback! :slight_smile: \n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":682737,"author_name":"Sprotex","author_uid":"sprotex","epoch":1619857284,"text":"@bamallama Thanks for your kind words about the idea and concept!\n\nTL;DR: the game needs to be run in 1920x1080 resolution in fullscreen, there is a button in the corner of the game window that makes it run in fullscreen. \n\nThe resolution thing isn't pointed out very clearly, it is only on the itch.io page of the game, I'll add the same description to the game here on ldjam.com. The thing is: I screwed up resolution settings of the game and couldn't afford to remake it in time. UI\/UX is something that I struggle with every jam and almost never plan it ahead.\n\nDownloadable version is something to consider. If more people want it, I'll consider adding it.\n\nThe presentation\/explanation is something we had in mind, there should've been a tutorial level, but we didn't write it down so it got forgotten.\n\nThank you for your feedback! :slight_smile: ","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":682766,"author_name":"Sprotex","author_uid":"sprotex","epoch":1619857785,"text":"@sigill That's OK, I feel the game is difficult and doesn't explain itself very clearly too. I'll summarize here:\n\nThe arrows appear when you plant a bomb, and stay there until you make 2 mistakes. You have to press the colored arrow just as it reaches the top line of the arrows. This charges the bomb, both in explosion radius and in timer duration.\n\nThe markers on the bottom are to show the beat tempo. If you press each input just as the markers overlap on the empty marker on the bottom left, then the input is \"on beat\". There is an audio confirmation beep if you move \"on beat\" and also there are some upgrades for doing that in succession. It is also the update tick for the enemies, if you move \"off beat\", the enemies will move faster than you.\n\nThe point is to find the exit of the level and get to the deepest level. Currently, there is a cap around 600 levels, but I think no-one will play this game for that long. :smile: \n\nIf you try the game again, please let me know. Also please let me know if there is anything that needs to be explained about the game, I'm happy to answer questions about the game. :slight_smile: ","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":682781,"author_name":"Sprotex","author_uid":"sprotex","epoch":1619858102,"text":"@nabo369 I'm curious if that death was unavoidable by game design, or if just the bomb exploded faster than you expected...? :slight_smile: \n\nOther than that, thank you very much for your kind words!
