The zoom is really bad, you don't know where to go so you click randomly on a node and hope the next one will be good. I didn't understand what to do with the red nodes, couldn't go on it to pick up the items.

Really hard to understand at first, I can see how most people would give up before getting the point of this game. It's actually quite engaging once you understand how it works but there are some issues. Mainly the randomness and no indicators where you should go. It would be nice if you had an indicator or if some passages were blocked in the beginning, forcing you to remember where to go later on when time is low (there is a little bit of that with those red zones but after unlocking them, I was just jumping from spot to spot hoping to find something). The pressure to find the path quickly and come back on time was good. I think there's a bug, in the end my score was always showing "....." instead of numbers.
And it needs music. Even if bad, games with no music feel really lifeless.
@taeghen @kasmilus Thank you for your feedback! Soon we add an instruction in our game and all gameplay become more understandable😉
You guys are great! I liked your game: the graphics, the idea, and the mechanics. Everything is playable. And in general, I'm a fan of your games. I liked all the games
Cool
A cool game, but too difficult for me. An interesting way to open the topic.
Красивый арт и очень красивое оформление!
Interesting implementation of the theme.
Cool game, cool idea, addictive for several games)
very intersting idea! pretty unique, I liked it
Shortly there are some lines that go off the screen, it is impossible to tap on them to go further. The following did not immediately understand what to do, but after the third attempt I understood. There is, but what kind of attachment to the native, but in principle, you can still pass the game, I did it in 3 minutes, I understand that this is the best result, it can be better. The sound feedback is very good the music is also not bad
@vladimir689 Thanks for the comment! Yes, our game has certain inconveniences in the level design. We will keep this in mind in our next jams! ^^
@ne-sofa @bladxaund @danielshershnev2game1 @kristina25 @maximpes @kirass @ksts @vladimir689 Thank you guys so much for your feedback. It's really important for us
Would be nice if you could zoom out and plan your route, the tutorial was abit overwhelming to me but cool game :D
Really cool concept, i could see the main mechanics in a puzzle game. As someone who hates reading tho, i just wish the tutorial would be more concise, or even better, integrated into the gameplay. But i know it's hard to implement in a limited time, so it's still pretty cool!
It's a cool and fun game! I just felt it a bit difficult.
Cool game, JUST COOL, HAVE NO WORDS..
Love the visuals and animations. Gameplay looks so smooth
I like the concept, however the nodes seem way too small for the amount of clicking on them you need to do, since the game quickly turns into a precision clicking game. As someone else said, a zoom out option would be nice too.
The game itself looks good but the tutorial made of 11 screens is not a good way of teaching players the rules, even after the tutorial i wasnt sure what to really do, i did it by mistake :D overall i think the game is too complicated or too poorly introduced to the player, besides that the concept and how u did it is cool :)
The Concept is impressive but time limit is too short. But the mood coming from the graphics is great! Good game.
a very interesting and unusual concept, it is immediately clear that people who understand a lot about development worked on the game!
The idea is nice but I found the game to be really confusing due to a lack of indication on where to go. For example, if you pick an access node and slot it into the core, you have no idea which area gets opened or where to go next. Little arrows or an other form of feedback indicating in which direction the shard opened something would help tremendously.
Also I don't understand why the viewport is so small. It's probably to stick more to the theme, however I felt like it had an really detrimental effect on the game and made it much more difficult to apprehend.
The art is on point with the game theme and feels really sci-fiy, which is great !
Cool gameplay and sounds! It's not as common to play as other games and i's great. But I don't feel challenged enough
Cool idea. Gameplay is interesting and makes you to became a speedrunner.
