But I can absoutley understand that this feels kind of useless (I also questionned this for a long time during development). \n\n@arachnid56 \nThanks - but in regards of level design the fantastic job was mainly done by Synty ^^ - I just reused their assets here. I'm happy that you like the audio. While this is also not from me the game on intention is really sparse.\nBut you are right - I should have added arrow-keys.\n\n@taeghen \nYes, the trees block a lot of sight. I also thought about removing them or working on the camera - but I decided to keep it how it is because it helps building up the feeling of \"being lost. And actually it shouldn't be that much of an issue because there is no spawning point below trees. \nIn regards of your second point: thats not intentional (Because I reused an existing map) - but I was hoping for that. But in order to mitigate this effect the game will provide you an indicator showing you the direction (but hides once you are close enough). \nBut I can understand that those trees can build up a feeling of \"the game is unfair\". Because as a Player you have to expect that might one day a box spawns below a tree which would be terrible. And in case if you couldn't find the box then you could assume it was hidden below a tree (even if it wasn't - but there is no way for you to check). Haven't thought about that - but I should have. So thanks for pointing this out. Will keep that in mind for future games.

Well the purpose is to surive (may MediKit was also not the best wording - actually I always thought about changing it). But in the end it doesn't save the game from feeling repetive after some days.
