I got stuck right at the start because I didn't know what I was doing. The E key didn't seem to be working, and I didn't know about the R button. \"Harvest a crop of memory\" was strange wording. I think simply \"Harvest a memory\" would have been better wording. But even after I figured that out and watch the tutorial on this page, I still couldn't seem to figure it out.\n\nI think you throw too much at the player at once. All in the first level, you have to figure out:\n\n\t- The controls\n\t- What your goal is\n\t- What all the cryptic names are referring to.\n\t- How to get the roof to fall. (I still don't know what caused that. It just happened after a while.)\n\t- Timing (since you have a moving object in the level.)\n\t- Switches that activate when you place stuff on them.\n\t- Whatever else, because I still couldn't continue even after enclosing all three things in the shape.\n\nI wish I could have figured it out, because it looks really nice, graphically and had a great mood.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":905552,"author_name":"svemir","author_uid":"svemir","epoch":1673342373,"text":"I also got stuck on this, not sure about the roof clue.
