Restricted Recall

Link:

Game Description:
Restricted Recall is a puzzle platformer made for Experimental Gameplay Project’s theme for April – Repeat. The game centers around the concept of repeating a set of three given commands in a loop to solve puzzles and get to the exit in each level. Only the spacebar is required for play.

Just looking for some feedback:
  • Which level do you feel like giving up on?
  • Do you feel like there's too much planning?
  • Should it be easier?
  • If you beat the game, how long did you take?
  • Other comments?

Thanks in advance!!

Regards,
XM

The last time I played, I just said that it moved too fast and it seemed like trial and error in getting the correct button rhythm. Also, I suppose that the levels aren't incredibly clear in what you have to do, since you only have 3 actions and cannot choose which ones to use. I suppose its more of an exercise in planning before playing, which I don't think I bothered to try.

Hey Falmil,

Thanks for the feedback!  I added a few more levels in between to ease the difficulty curve, dunno whether that helps.  It is, however, a puzzle game, so the planning and deciphering portion is inevitable - at least to my understanding.

Did you finish the game?  How long did you take?
Or did you give up halfway, and at which level?

I made it to level 9. It wasn't too hard, if I put more time into it I could have done it. The controls took a bit to get used to, but that was concept of the game and once you get the hang of it it's fine.

The only thing that I would think involves a little too much planning are the spikes that go up and down which make it kind of guesswork to know when they actually come up. Cool game.
