The Ultimate Playtesting Experience

[stable sparrow]

I've been sending my level a few times in #pro-feedback to get people to playtest but since this is a puzzle level that I'm constantly updating and building upon I just decided to make a post about it so I can always just ask here for more playtesting when needed.

As of this post, I just finished the third room and I just need someone to play the whole level and actually try to figure out the puzzles instead of brute forcing them and then just telling me if there's anything to improve in terms of gameplay and/or ideas for puzzles and also hunting bugs and exploits because I'm sure there will be many...

Just played through it.
Room 1
Good introduction to the buttons.
A bit confusing otherwise.
The condition for the ending is unclear.

Room 2
Good introduction to the projectile thingies
Ending is also quite cool

Room 3
Part one is somewhat buggy, but at least the correct solution works.
Also can be a bit hard to move around the area.
The green box at the top (that rotates gameplay) is confusing
Budget Spider orbs
Second part is actually really fun.
The red orbs in the second part have a somewhat unintuitive timing

Also version 50 is the highest I've ever seen

its pretty difficult trying to get the movement in the third room since it is the cube... do you think itll be better if i just try to make the player transform into a ball there

I wanted to make this fully cube but ig it would be quite limiting

[stable sparrow]

some of my levels are like version 130

i update my levels until they get finished

[hardy solstice]

Switching to ball would work for fixing the movement issues, but the existing movement helps make the level feel more like a puzzle (since thats what you are going for)

[stable sparrow]

yea but many people find it annoying which ruins the enjoyment of the puzzle anyway so

When I continue the level after finishing my main project I'll revamp that part
