I like that the level seems pretty straight-forward and simple, but it's still challenging to get anything more than 400 points. Or it was for me. 
The only thing I didn't like was the forced cutscenes in the beginning. It was fine and unnoticeable the first time around, but after hitting "Replay Level" a bunch of times, it became somewhat annoying to not be able to just run right back over to the wheel, because I'd have to Circle out of the cutscenes. Nothing huge though. |
Actually, you're in 3rd place now - grasp got 3,000+ points - but that's the guy who played Puzzle Wheels countless times to get the highscore - dude's an animal!
I tried my luck again - only got 2,000+ points - not sure how I got that 6,000+ - what luck that I had that run when trying to set the highscore!
As for the cutscenes - that seems to be the main issue from feedback I've received. I would love it if the cutscenes could be disabled. . .
Someone suggested making them optional - as in letting the player go left if they wanted instructions - problem is, I know nobody would check it out. I had to make it cutscenes to ensure people at least got a chance to read the directions - and didn't go get killed 2 seconds in by grabbing a RED rod and giving the level a bad rating.
But I know what you mean - I played my level a hundred times and for some reason, hitting that circle (even though it takes a half second) gets annoying.
I'm glad that you didn't find the gameplay confusing. Thanks for checking it out.
(Btw, did the level start to change - lights begin to turn on and off, strobe lights and music changes, etc.? - wondering how far you got into the effects since the longer you live, the more that changes.)
