They had a nice consistent style to them. The visual thumbnail of the hand drawn fists stuck out enough to make me click it over the games around it. Good tension too making sure not to get caught.\n\nThe highlight of this game had to be the audio design though. Very well done and I loved that everything made a different noise when you hit it.\n\nThe only issue I ran in to was I would instinctively hold ctrl to crouch (though I did appreciate it was a toggle and not a hold) and holding ctrl while hitting most of the WASD keys would cause shortcuts to trigger - in Chrome S would try to save the page, D would bookmark the game, and W would just flat out close the window. I got myself in to trouble a few times this way and had to restart the game. This might just be a me problem but I'm guessing someone else out there probably has that hardwired instinct to hold ctrl while walking around when crouching is necessary.\n\nGreat work still. Really nice game.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1012456,"author_name":"CiaranW","author_uid":"ciaranw","epoch":1696549227,"text":"The game looks really pretty - the 2d fists in the 3d room worked really well. The sound was also very atmospheric and the mood was nice and tense! But I do have to agree that it took a really long time to dig that hole (given the choice I think I would have crawled through it a lot earlier rather than continuing to punch a wall! It would be nice if there were more stages to the game, because I did like the atmosphere of having to listen out past the sound of your punching to tell whether you had to be subtle.
