The whole spinning thing, while novel, makes no sense. I have no idea why I'm spinning - the trigger to the spin and the spin doesn't make sense. How I stop the spinning also makes no sense. as "cool" as the spinning is, it felt shoehorned. It does nothing but hamper my memory of where the heck I was going.\r\r2. Navigation. I have no idea where I'm going - if there was any way of navigation I missed it. Add the spinning to that and you felt like you're perpetually - exactly - going in circles.\r\r3. Agency - the two previous points make me feel like I have no control over the game and my actions. I don't know where I'm going, I don't know how to "get better" besides going slower. Which just produces a really slow and frustrating maze.\r\rSo if you can address the above concerns, the core mechanics can actually work. I feel like the player needs to be given more to work with (some kind of direction to go), and I feel there needs to be more reason for the spinning or something about the spinning that makes sense, or is controllable.\r\rSorry if the above sounds harsh, but I really liked your game and I'd love to see it improve :)\r\rCheers!"},{"author_name":"Teesquared","author_uid":"35091","time":"May 16, 2014 @ 3:36am","epoch":1400211060,"text":"Interesting take on a maze game and nice visuals.

I chose a top-down view to a ball and decided it looks too plain; so Blund was born and put atop the ball to give a sense of comical relief snd direction. Blunderer's main mechanic was born through a box collider error, I set up WASD and hit a wall without adjusting a few constraints on the rigid body and the player and camera would spin like crazy, this \"glitchy-rigidbody-physics- spinning!\" was quickly made from a bug into a feature because it reminded me if Sega's Sonic 1's bonus levels that made me cry and laugh as a child. \r\n\r\nThis is my first Ludum Dare entry; was very insightful and fun, I'll make sure to attend another one in the future.\r\n","title":"Blunderer"}
