In the game you grow to a very large size, and once you reach those sizes jumping\u00a0becomes very slow and heavy because of your scale and the fact that gravity is constant. So it was a design choice to make the gravity seem very high at the beginning. And that just instantly puts people off. Admittedly I never got round to putting the very large scale puzzles into the game, so I could have got away with having less extreme gravity at the beginning. Live and learn.<\/p>\n <p>The other problem people have is saying that you can&#8217;t get past the second &#8216;goblet&#8217;. This is really a bummer because the jump\u00a0is meant to be solved a specific way, and because people can&#8217;t work it out, they&#8217;re saying the game is broken.<\/p>\n <p><span style=\"color: #333399\">TL;DR\u00a0The game is too fast and appears broken when it isn&#8217;t which is putting people off playing, and I would really like some feedback, good or bad from someone who&#8217;s persevered past the second obstacle.<\/span><\/p>\n <p>Thanks!<\/p>\n <h1 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/ludum-dare-34\/?action=preview&amp;uid=65664\">PLAY<\/a><\/h1>","time":"December 18th, 2015 8:31 am","title":"Game is not broken, would really love for someone to try and complete it."}
