Thank you :)

in the 3x3 grid of rooms you can't get the top middle heart or the top right heart.

Mantis1 responds:

It was intentional, I'm sorry that wasn't clear :)

[Seven Days in Purgatory]

I enjoyed sending millennials to hell.

Disliked not being able to upgrade or at least cosmeticify anything with my money.

Also I wasn't a huge fan of how you'd introduce new rules but not say if they took precedence over other rules. Papers Please never made this mistake.

kypello responds:

There was supposed to be an item shop for buying random decorative items for your desk. I only had 2 weeks to make the game and ran out of time, so that had to be cut unfortunately, so money is pointless.

Rules don't "take precedence" over each other. Let them in only if EVERYTHING is good.

Thanks for playing my game!

hate the interface quite a bit. constantly having to right click when i shouldn't. if an arrow for navigation is right there on the screen. it should work regardless of what "tool" i have selected"

honestly the hand and the move tool could be merged and there are ZERO instances in the game where that would break anything.

and you don't need an eye tool either. you need to rethink your UI completely here. it becomes incredibly tedious and annoying.

i really liked the art style. but there needed to be more ambient noise than just a howling wind.

response to author:

i don't care that you can use WASD also. that is STILL tedious. the point is you shouldn't need to cycle through these things. they should be context sensitive. how did you miss my point entirely?

Nirag responds:

Thank you for the feedback!
The right-clicking is just a secondary method of cycling through interactions. The main method is by using the keyboard shortcuts A+S+D, as explained at the beginning.

response:
I got your point quite clearly. I was just answering to the first point of your feedback, the one regarding the right-clicking. Regarding the other points, I understood what you said, and I thanked you about the feedback. I'll keep that into consideration for my next game!

incoherent design.

fuel flies down rapidly even with all but last upgrade in it. don't know what the last upgrade does for it. i just know that i was so disappointed in how NOT empowering the fuel upgrades were that i lost any incentive to play.

but i will go play motherload. cuz this reminded me of the genre. and motherload actually knew how to do it properly.

Template88 responds:

Contrary to what you may think, the fuel upgrades are balanced out to match the depth of the game. You'll find it difficult/impossible to beat the game without upgrading. The fuel levels are pretty significantly spaced, so if you didnt feel a difference, perhaps it was because you were running out of money staying up near the surface? I think you prefer a slower paced version of digging game to this, the fuel runs out faster in this game because the game is much shorter than motherload 8V.

[Night Strike Infiltrators]

top notch. investigation initiated into anyone who rated below 3

Wolod responds:

Well, what can I say? Thanks :)

[Nymphiad]

underrated imo. i've submitted a report to investigate people who rated it low.

Wolod responds:

Thanks for your support.

[Gragyriss, Captor of Princesses]

I was excited when I saw this here with a Jan 20 upload date....

and yet you added nothing. Really a huge disappointment. You already got my high score on kong. Adding zero is what you get.

edit: alright I'll update to a 3.5 because it actually is a sick game. but damnit i hope that sequel doesn't take too long!

SnowRoadGames responds:

We are working on the sequel, okay?

[Mnémora: The Lenses of Galimán]

so just want to give you my limited experience:

at first i was compelled for sure.

third medallion i missed the jump for it and couldn't backtrack because the jump back up was too high. so it was a one-attempt type deal. that is when i was done.

nevermind. i finished it and it was good. but you need to fix that backtracking problem.

DavidMarchand responds:

Thank you for the feedback! We never really intended for the levels to be fully backtrackable, but you’re right that it might be better to never block backtracking right after failing a medallion jump. If it’s any consolation, you can retry any level from the Main menu, and the Extras menu tells you which levels you’re missing medallions from (and, medallions are saved right after you grab them, so no need to finish any level after you beat the game once). Just don’t expect anything fancy to happen if you 100% the game. It just shows you concept art from the movie and the game.

[Ultimo Games 2019 Gifts]

got all the medals but the last one.

UltimoGames responds:

look in other screens, you will find it!
