I really struggled with this one. I think the lack of feedback made it really difficult to know if what I was doing was right or wrong. For some reason, I couldn't increase stability no matter what I did. Maybe I was doing something wrong? In general, the game felt very out of control, partly because of the targeting system, and partly because of the speed and momentum of the particles vs the dragging force. It just felt like a struggle from the beginning. I appreciate the commitment to making a terminal game, but I didn't really enjoy my time with it.\n\nThanks for the game, best of luck with future dev!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":762954,"author_name":"DAk001","author_uid":"dak001","epoch":1634145306,"text":"@adamcyounis yes. my game is hard to play, but if there weren't these mechanics ('E' to collapse, losing stability if everything wasn't balanced) game wouldn't be so interactive and fun to play.
