I seemed to lose points and get different sounds at times, and I wasn't sure why. It seemed like maybe some shapes were pulsing a little? If so, I think it was not obvious enough. I also felt like the pacing was a little slow. Unfortunately this game didn't do it for me, but it's definitely a game and I commend you for the accomplishment with so little time.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":673157,"author_name":"Anuke","author_uid":"anuke","epoch":1619709591,"text":"- Some music could have been nice; the game felt a bit quiet and empty.\n- It wasn't immediately obvious which drill bits corresponded to which shapes; I died a few times before I figured it out.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":673208,"author_name":"Yamzho","author_uid":"yamzho","epoch":1619710189,"text":"This is a pretty good game, I love the concept.
