I like the moody atmosphere with the music and the lack of light. At the start when you said to press R I didnt know I was supposed to swing and then press R so I just dropped the rope and fell but then was stuck so I had to reload the page.

The camera also didn't follow me there somehow. I got it correctly on my second trial. It is best to light up your flashlight asap, I guess. Also the pace was a bit slow at times, I would have loved sliding down way faster.\nBut good work, and many thanks for the WebGL build, it's much better with one.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":676113,"author_name":"Pilarius","author_uid":"pilarius","epoch":1619736022,"text":"the game looked promissing from the mood and exploration aspect, sadly it kept bugging out the moment when I left the rope for the first time so I couldnt continue","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":676150,"author_name":"AFlatThrasher","author_uid":"aflatthrasher","epoch":1619736405,"text":"Well that was interesting.  You probably want the reminder that the flashlight exists a little earlier (I left the rope, then was sitting in the dark confused until I remembered the flashlight, only to see the reminder in the next level).

Nice work on that! I think there's so much to explore in game level designs built around that repelling mechanic.
