"That Game Was Awesome." -Me, 45 seconds ago
I mean, there's a learning curve - a lot of people don't like that, but i'm actually the type of person who enjoys learning as I go on my own. At first, I was using the arrow keys and doing nothing, but the clock wasn't running so I wasn't stressed. I figured out it was WASD pretty quickly, then it took me a minute to figure out the controls for moving maps and for jumping in and out of the map screen (BTW I really like that I can move the map I'm on - seems obvious, but it would be very frustrating to still want to go right and be at the edge of the map, which definitely happened). I really like the interface having a little (1) on the maps that still had keys, and eventually I figured out that the sides had to match PERFECTLY (this was at like 2:30 left, and I'd gotten about 5 or 6 keys at this point). Once I figured that out, it was really FUN to line up little paths and rearrange them.
Of course, the main regret is that it's short. It fits the story, sure, and the story's decent for having so little of it and such low graphic quality (although it is used very well).
If I had a complaint - in one of the rooms the shadowy guy ran at me and past me, and that took me out of the experience. Aren't I chasing that guy? Or if we're both after the heart, I wish that was introduced earlier so I'd know.
Honestly, this is a very well made game. And I really LIKE the music. It's jarring with the strings, and fast-paced with the drum beat, but it's also heartwarming at parts. I mean it's just good chase music.
So thank you. I mean, this was about 4:10 of my life playing the game. I've probably spent more than that on this review. Just goes to show it's a great game - looking forward to more from you, and I'll be sure to check out what else you've done.
