Interesting concept, but the slow turns makes it difficult to want to keep playing, especially as the difficulty increases. I understand the reasoning behind making them move one at a time, but the game would flow a lot more smoothly if they all moved at once.
Oops, will fix ASAP. Thank you!
If they stopped spawning then that's definitely a bug, it's meant to be an infinite high score game with infinitely increasing difficulty.
I got stuck for a bit, thinking that there was some mechanic to maybe get items past doors to use on later plates, when I had actually just happened to have not seen the shield. Game was a bit dark, especially when all the items you need are on the floor, and you can't look down. Would have liked a bit more "puzzle" other than just collecting enough items to get to the exit. Atmosphere was very solid though, the wind and torch sounds were very effectively used.
Music and aesthetic is on point. The tutorial was a great addition. Would have been nice if corpses became incorporeal. If you're going to let the player shoot while holding a corpse, it'd help if your bullets weren't blocked by shooting upwards. On harder difficulties it can become like a bit of a bullet hell, which doesn't mesh well with the large player hitbox, combined with the main black body of the player blending into the background making it difficult to tell if a bullet will actually hit you or not. Core gameplay concept is solid and movement and shooting feels pretty good!
Fun concept, it creates a good hectic atmosphere trying to make connections. A couple things I noticed: it's a bit difficult to detect when moods change (and therefore connections become unstable), and new unconnected people die too quickly -- often they'd die before I ever addressed them because I was finishing up somewhere else. I don't think forcing the player to immediately switch focus whenever someone shows up feels good gameplay wise.
Starts a bit slow but ramps up quick! The sin wave saws are more frustrating than anything, especially with the digital controls on keyboard -- that's where I tapped out. I enjoyed the aesthetic, however.
Cute concept, I'm sure with a little polish it could be very promising. Not sure it evokes "unstable" for me, though.
I think my favorite concept was the level-wide objective of drawing the giant circle.
Cute concept! It's visually confusing that the platform stays still and the world rotates. It makes it difficult to tell how the platform is tilting.
