Grabbing items can be a real struggle at first and the controls are fairly complicated at a glance and even after a few runs they can be a bit awkward to get used to. Also regarding the gameplay, I can appreciate the approach of learning by dying and getting a higher score through that but the game's learning curve isn't particularly steep (which can be a good thing) so once you get used to it you end up waiting for death at the top for at least a good minute. Maybe if that part could be sped up or you were forced to interact more closely with the snail this could be mitigated. The game as a whole however was pretty good and I think it needs to be repeated but the graphics\/art style are particularly charming and unique. I think this is one of the games I spent more time playing so yeah... nicely done, really captivating game.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":812295,"author_name":"Melik Cagan Oduncuoglu","author_uid":"melik-cagan-oduncuoglu","epoch":1649363980,"text":"@evgeniya-zapolnova yes there are cats in the bedroom, and fun fact those cats are illustration of our cats! :cat:  Thank you for your comment :v: ","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":812311,"author_name":"Melik Cagan Oduncuoglu","author_uid":"melik-cagan-oduncuoglu","epoch":1649364115,"text":"@pwnzer Thank you very much for your feedback it means a lot! :heart: The learning curve and other mechanics are below the expectations because simply, we didn't know how to make it better because its our first game :sweat_smile: but yes you are totally right about those factors.
