The combination of DDR-style button presses with drawing the glyphs works surprisingly well. Using a tablet helps a lot with the drawing, I had a hard time doing it with a mouse.\n\nI did find out that just putting any small line inside the glyph shapes counts as a success, you do not need to draw the whole shape. This made the game a lot easier, but it felt like cheating :smirk:.\n\nI made it to wave 16 that way. does the game have a final wave or is it endless?","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1041710,"author_name":"D0vid","author_uid":"d0vid","epoch":1713263677,"text":"@toc Thanks a lot for your feedback :D We're glad you enjoyed it ! \n\nUnfortunately, we didn't have enough time to try to fix that \"cheat\" :( We had already spent lots of hours to try and make the system work, for the sake of fairness, we hope people will still try to trace the symbols ;) \n\nCongrats on getting to wave 16 though, that's impressive :D \n\nThe game is indeed endless and gets faster every wave after a while.
