Steering was somewhat bothersome, some tiny inclination of the sphere's current heading could help a lot. All the time I felt that pressing the boost should propel the character forward even without any steering input.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Aesthetics were superb as was the sound design, and the little bit of story was incredibly evoking. It's a real shame there isn't more of this game..."},{"author_name":"WERT Studio","author_uid":"55091","time":"Sep 13, 2016 @ 2:06pm","epoch":1473775260,"text":"Sorry i dont know what to do ?!

For an exploration-type game, tank controls should be avoided when they're not justified.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sounds and visuals fit nicely, and gave all the necessary information. Gave the game the right mood.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The puzzle was interesting, though the mirror things turning as they were lit up could quickly become annoying if the game was much longer.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'd be curious to see more out of this. Solid game overall. Good job!"},{"author_name":"petitpois","author_uid":"49538","time":"Sep 17, 2016 @ 11:15pm","epoch":1474153800,"text":"It's nice to see someone else doing 3D for first time and keeping it simple. great entry"},{"author_name":"mar3k","author_uid":"42219","time":"Sep 18, 2016 @ 1:28pm","epoch":1474204980,"text":"great atmosphere, but the controls are bit painful"},{"author_name":"amras0000","author_uid":"47448","time":"Sep 18, 2016 @ 11:18pm","epoch":1474240380,"text":"The game's obviously beautiful. Great color choices, very soothing aesthetic, loved the tail on the white sphere. The sound design adds to the atmosphere and charm.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The controls were a bit troublesome for the sole reason I had no idea which way I was facing unless I was moving. And since I could get stuck on terrain moving to check my direction wasn't always an option. The reverse did help things slightly, but I'd have liked a small arrow pointing frontwards.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The first time I played through the game, either something glitched or I solved the puzzle accidentally and got the final beam stuck to me. Since the beam then rotated the rest of the mirrors, I got really frustrated trying to solve the puzzle while the beam kept screwing up my positioning.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I restarted the game and played through it to realize the puzzle'd already been solved.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And I realize it's LD, and the experience was enjoyable as-is, but I feel like the short length of the game harmed it for me. A slightly more complex puzzle where I'd had to get to grips with the mechanics \/before\/ I solve it, or a short intro sequence to make me understand what the beam's doing, would've helped a ton.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Very nice game regardless."}],"images":["ld36\/4101-dd986cb76703bd67cc9e92d908c7a1cb.jpg","ld36\/4101-89f1cb0be8f586f9e8ce66dfe16c4921.jpg","ld36\/4101-5fa5810f2b8c92eea63308d125b6be40.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/83j7qpcchdzuvee\/valnad.zip?dl=0","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"789","g_author":"4101","g_event":"LD36","g_eventkey":"35","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"768","g_title":"V&aring;lnad","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"8","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/4101-shot0-1472515450.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/4101-shot1-1472515450.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/570486\/4101-shot2-1472515450.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"This game is, for me, an experimental game.
