Thank you for your constructive criticism and feedback. This is the first time we've ever done anything like this, so hearing from so many people is great and it really does help us out! It seems unanimous that the intro text is too long\/not skipable; we totally agree, and since we're going to keep working on this after the jam, we'll definitely add in skippableness once scoring as over (though it's minor, I feel like adding the feature before play+rate is done with might influence scoring and go beyond LD rules). We have, however, made the following changes that should still be in complience with the jam: @lagrume-masque , we've gone in and made it so you cannot get stuck in the store text (thanks for catching this bug! :^) ; @calzep , the executable should run in linux as well as mac and windows since its a Unity build, though, we see that we didn't initially mark it as such on itch.io. This is changed now and we encourage you to give the game a shot if you're still interested!\n\nAgain, thank you all for your feedback! It's all very encouraging and helpful! :^) ","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"triplefox","author_uid":"1108401","time":"2019-05-01T06:03:46Z","epoch":1556690626,"modified":1556690626,"text":"I had to go back and figure out what the shoot button was after losing the first playthrough to not knowing controls. After that it was easy because all I did was hold down shoot and spin in place. Some ideas:\n\n1. Give me some destinations to move to(e.g. collectables), and then spawn new waves on a timer so that I get intercepted.\n2. Give the enemies some movement patterns other than \"berserker run at me\".\n\nThe story has plenty of writing(good effort) but the writing feels flat(effort wasted), because each scene plays linearly and is focused on concrete justifications(business language) and not a feeling of anticipation for \"what will happen after that, and why\"(storytelling), like something that will be revealed and how additional themes in the work might interact with the main \"your life is currency\" one. When the twist comes, it's surprising but doesn't communicate a lot since we never build much of an investment in the characters or world.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Cubicode","author_uid":"1147033","time":"2019-05-01T06:09:32Z","epoch":1556690972,"modified":1556690972,"text":"As already mentioned, the intro is quite long, and I had some troubles to read some texts before they changed.\n\nAlso, I think it would be great to have a restart button.
