Small, simply but perfectly polished! I love this little game!
Really nice take un unstable! Maybe it would've been nice if the difficulty ramped up a little more slowly (or maybe I'm really bad at it :sweat_smile:).
Just a basic tutorial would have done wonders! It's confusie like hell, but otherwise a great game.
The idea isn't bad per se, but it feels as if there should be more to it. Like putting up a barrier against a flood and hoping you don't get an earthquake. Or stronger houses for the earthquakes etc. There would still be destruction inevitably but the thing is, when you don't make a decision (e.g. barrier vs stronger house) when you get a flood/earthquake it doesn't feel as impactful, just a bit annoying. In other words: when you can make decisions to guard against an incoming disaster and make the right/wrong choice it feels better than just undergoing it without being able to do anything, even if on average the outcome would be the same. You've said that you've had to cut corners, but of course I don't know what you would have done with more time, maybe these are things you already realise. Either way it's certainly is an idea with potential.
"PrecariousPowers_OSX is damaged and cannot be opened." I've tried downloading again. After that I forced it to run via terminal but it was indeed damaged (see image). It's a shame because it really looks like a nice game. Schermafbeelding 2021-10-11 om 22.55.07.png
It's so difficult to take off, am I doing something wrong or is it really that painfully slow? Also I press the three keys in short succession (but keeping them all three down at the same time) since pressing them all three simultaneously as it tells me todo does... nothing :/
I hate losing butt it's also funny :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:.
Checkpoints.... pleaase! And like others have said the platforms aren't visually distinct enough. That said it's a lovely game with descent controls and a great mood. Love it.
