Despite multiple attempts I can't quite figure out how to succeed here. The feedback between success and error isn't super clear, and I'm not entirely sure what the correct methodology is for the QTEs.

I did find a few endings along the way, which is a cool feature, and the concept is interesting.

Nice work!

@fireslash thank you for your efforts. Feedback of first QTE(blue one) is that you caught/didn't catch the tube and, in error case, you are seeing that a film of photocam is spending and nothing happens. Feedback of second is that you are seeing like fingers are breaking in error case and you grab a parachute in success.

@verttixpertti the point is that you need to make a flash by photocam and then to click on qte. After that you need to click on second qte at the its time, while a hand is grabbing a tube.

The falling was well done and the dialog in the beginning was amusing with the different options. At least for me the difficulty was a bit too high and I was unable to win despite multiple attempts. I would've tried more times but not having a option to restart the game other than to refresh the entire page added too much waiting for me to try until I succeeded :(. A fun little game

The beginning really caught my attention — the door opening sequence felt intriguing! After that, it got a bit confusing, but I can see a lot of creative potential here. It’s a solid start and a good project for learning and experimenting. Keep going, you're on the right track!

I liked the concept but I also couldn't beat it. I found myself burning through my resources fast, then being in free fall till I splat. It was way faster to just close and restart the game. Good start!

Cool concept, like the choices. The falling effect looks really good.

However:
- `Uncaught RuntimeError: out of memory` -> restart
- `Uncaught RuntimeError: null function or function signature mismatch` -> restart
- randomly spam click the "catch" button(s) -> win
- `ERROR: Parameter "data.tree" is null. at: get_tree (scene/main/node.h:485)` -> restart

I have tried multiple times to play this game and I am confused. For some reason there is a "catch" button on the screen that I think shouldn't be there. When you click it multiple times, it makes sounds and the camera starts rotating in random places. Then there is some random sprite on the screen and you either loose or win. I'm not sure what determines which outcome you get.

But when you ignore it, you receive some dialogue and a camera. When right clicking there is a flash that does nothing, except it moves the catch button. Then when I click it, it creates another one that is fully depleted and disappears before I can click it. The camera shifts to the hand, a pipe and a fire particle. What is going on.

I've seen comments that the web version is broken, but I think that is referring to the ldjam page not working. I tried downloading the windows version, but itch.io prompted me that it has been marked as dangerous or suspicious. I considered just skipping this game, but if the web version was broken, then it should have been removed.

I'm not sure what to say. The game is either confusing, broken or the page is setup incorrectly. I am happy to go back and change my rating if there will be a different explanation or something will get fixed

Cool idea and dark humor :) played only html but i felt like even when wins were game over and game froze few times :') Some idea for enhancement would be to make the handbars fits with the QTE position and see them a little bit long/from afar ? Good job!

@dock-frankenstein thank you for such detailed feedback.

First of all, "catch" button in the start is a bug, and for now idk its reason.

How i've understood, u didn't know what u need to do in the game. So, sequence of events is the next: u make a flash with photocam, which is highlighting a tube and with "catch" qte's button u can grab it, then, on the tube, u have to be hurry to click on 2nd qte, if u don't - u need to try again/if u do - you'll collect a parachute and win.

About web ver. on ldjam's page. I thought it could be a problem with the jdjam's page and left it in a case - maybe it will be fixed in future.

About win ver. I've solved issue u described. Idk why, but if you download directly from ldjam's page the file it become marked as dangerous. So now, in my regret, only way is downloading from itch.

P.S. Have made some changes and for now virustotal is showing, that it is total safe.![werfdesfwer.PNG](///raw/0f9/06/z/6c554.png)

Nice one, found 3 different ways to die :D Nice models, and I think I broke some fingers for some reason?

I also had the Godot lag issues this jam, may I ask which version of the engine you used?

@chuckiee thank you for feedback. I used the 4.4 ver.

Heads up, I went to download on itch.io and got this: ![firefox_wzcCgxDZYU.png](///raw/9b4/46/z/6c604.png)
Might be worth contacting someone about removing the scam warning.

Nice Game. I tried to play it in the Browser and when I want to retry, it crashes at some point right after you get the "helping hand" ;)
I totally get what you wanted to show and really like the crazy idea.
