​

Qualities
​

  • The tutorial was quite great, as the player need to learn 4 forms. I am happy that we implemented a quite progressive tutorial (a bit slow nonetheless)

  • When the players enters the flow of gameplay, it is satisfying switching forms to adapt to the situation

  • The UI to show what can kill the player in each forms is working great

​

​

Defaults
​

  • Too much difficult. The skill needed is increasingly too much and ask too short timing and reactions. The game can be quite frustrating for some players

  • Some parts in the LD are too difficult to read well and can lead to confusion

  • The motion controls can be a bit hard, not tuned well
