It also disappeared faster than I finished reading it, maybe instead there should be an [OK] button that hides in? This way it wouldn't depend on the player's reading speed at all.\n\nThe main hammer bashing mechanic is fun but a bit tedious. I didn't fully understand how it affects the students: it definitely pushes them physically, but it also seems to alter their behavior so that they move towards the school instead of just walking around?\n\nThe hammer explosion effect is cool but a bit too long to my taste - the smoke prevents the player from seeing the students, which was a bit frustrating at times.\n\nSometimes the \"the goal is reached\" text appeared before I've moved all the students, like maybe 2 or 3 were still not in school. Not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior, but in any case it would be nice to see the goal progress indicated somewhere (maybe just a text \"Goal: 17\/30\").","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":936197,"author_name":"ciderpunk","author_uid":"ciderpunk","epoch":1682939687,"text":"Thanks @lisyarus for your feedback!\nthe hammer just applies an impulse to all objects within a radius, the kids carry on wondering in the direction they're blasted or deflected, but they are kind of funnelled to the exit by the level design, the first level is ridiculously easy so it'll win automatically if you leave it... if only i had more time!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":946573,"author_name":"kierogi","author_uid":"kierogi","epoch":1683036412,"text":"This was a lot of fun.

Also maybe as a sort of multiplayer party game might work too. As it stands, there isn't really any challenge, no time limit or anything, so the fun is somewhat limited to me. Also the main character feels too slow to move to me and I would like more options of how my hammer is going to effect them, like a charge level perhaps as someone else said, or more aiming the force in a specific way or something. Also some sound would be nice of course. So sort of interesting, perhaps with some potential, but for me not so much fun right now.
