The controls are just not compatible with my butter fingers. I have to move towards the piece of furniture, then press J\/K\/L, correct? But if I want to check another part of the furniture, I have to disengage from it? Because sometimes I didn't find anything on a bed, for example, only to get 2 parts from it just by mashing buttons.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>On the other hand, the frantic pace, the music and the retro graphics kept me trying.

The mechanic of searching 'under' 'in' and 'on top' things is limited by the fact that I could just mash the keyboard and get everything by hugging the edge of the room in a few seconds tops. I get the impression that this was a short, sweet game made for effect and I think it does that well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Concept-wise, panic-based games that get you pumped are great. I hope you keep up with these ideas and refine them into fun and more fleshed-out games in the future."},{"author_name":"pixelgriffin","author_uid":"55244","time":"Aug 24, 2015 @ 11:31pm","epoch":1440458760,"text":"Good fun!

You find these parts by walking into the bedroom features and pressing to check under, inside or on the feature. Once you think you are ready, you go down the bottom of the screen through the door to head to the show.\r\n\r\nControls:\r\nWASD or Arrow Keys - Move around scene\r\nZ\/J - Check underneath places in your room\r\nX\/K - Check inside places in your room\r\nC\/L - Check on top of places in your room\r\n\r\nI have also updated the build to include fixes that should make the game a bit more approachable, since I'm posting this before the #LDJAM deadline it should be fine.\r\n\r\n- You should now be able to check stuff while adjacent to objects. Previously you were only able to check stuff while walking into it.\r\n- No input delay after checking objects. Text will still show for a period of time to provide info.\r\n- Able to skip cutscenes and instructions.\r\n- XInput Gamepad Support. Use Left Analog Stick or D-Pad to Move and A\/B\/Y to Check Under\/In\/On objects.","title":"Late for the Show"}
