I think you could either give the player more to do (like pressing on the exhale or following the chi flow with the mouse) for gameplay, or actually remove the distracting flying part and the bar and focus the player on reacting to sound ques (maybe even urging them to close their eyes and partake in the breathing) which could also indicate when an upgrade is ready, it would also probably be more comfortable to be pressing a button (like space) on the inhale instead of the mouse button.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1124381,"author_name":"Scrawach","author_uid":"scrawach","epoch":1744037670,"text":"Very smooth.
