I'm somewhere around 84%. Nice game, I appreciate the challenge presented. 

The only thing that I stumbled on was the endless pit area. It took me probably a little while to realize the trick there.

Awesome game! I second the desire for some in-game bg music, but it was good fun either way. No other criticism... ran great on an old mobile intel gpu. 27% and then I had to give it a break, but I look forward to another play soon. Thanks

Just lost at about 75%. Really amazed at the look, playing CGA games in dosbox would feel much better with the CRT. Subtle glow is great.

The game is definitely difficult, not always in a good way. Things get frustrating really fast on some areas, while the rest is a breeze. But I do generally appreciate the bullet-hell vibe of some of those bosses. (just not the one with the shrimps! ) Would love to hear some more sound too, but the minimalism is great overall. 

Great stuff!

Just lost the game at 92% but am going to get that last 8%

[mufasajones]

I am really liking your game I think it is fantastic. I am 99% and just trying to find that last little percent and happen to find a part where I can get out of the map and doesn't seem like i am supposed to be there. It is rooms of complete black and there is no specific room names.

[Hempuli‽]

I'm stuck at 99% as well. My assumption is that I need to type in the magic symbil & word at some point, the symbol being ~ and the word being ARC or possibly something beginning with those letters. This is kind of far-fetched, but it's the only solution I can think of since I drew out the map of the game and there really is only one room that could technically exist inside the boundaries of the area. However, how what I suggested is actually done in-game is another question.

You are on the right track. There is another clue that tells you where.

Problem is, I can't find ~ from this keyboard because it doesn't use the american layout. I'm quite sure I know the correct room; it's one with the text "What is the magic work" with an empty, unvisited room next to it.

[rdein]

those screenshots look incredibly charming :O really nice job!

[lukke]

Great game ! so tight. I want more.
thanks a lot Hempuli for bringing the keyboard issue ! didn't had to draw a map on paper since Dungeon Master and was really wondering what I was doing wrong :D

[Vom]

The button that brings up the console on my keyboard is the one top-left of the keyboard under Escape, with ` and ¬ and ¦ on it.

[mokesmoe]

Yeah, since ~ is actually shift+` the ` button should work if you have that.

I just checked out the finnish keyboard and that may be an issue that breaks the puzzle, although not necessarily the game. I would notify the developer. As for the room, you're close, and i don't know how it's mapped out, but there may be a way to enter a room from one that's not adjacent.

[Franklin's Ghost]

99% so almost there, but that last 1% is turning into a pain Such a great game, long time since I was this invested in one and was actually writing stuff down in the hope that it was clues.

[Hempuli‽]

Yeah, this I found out, but with my keyboard layout it appears that I'm unable to finish the game, since the console doesn't accept copypasting nor Alt Gr -based symbols.

Maybe you can get around it with joytokey?

Maybe I'll just change my language settings temporarily. However, I must say that this particular puzzle wasn't very well-thought-out by the developer, since it requires both finding the weird console box that wasn't mentioned previously in any way, while also requiring typing a certain symbol with a specific keyboard layout. Out-of-the-box is fine, but this requires too much knowledge of obscure stuff.

[Ninja Dodo]

Finished it. I didn't make the leap from wave symbol to console button without reading this thread. I think it would've worked better if you'd been asked to choose the symbol inside the game world (by standing under it or something) and then typed the magic word.

[J. Kyle Pittman]

Aw man, I didn't even think about how different keyboard layouts would affect that.  

Out of curiosity, what layout are you using, and which characters are you unable to type into the console?

[ElTipejoLoco]

Edit: 100.00% now.
But somehow I feel like I missed something?

Thoughts (avert your cursor if you wish to stray from spoilers):
About the magic word. (mouse-over to see)
About the CRT monitor look. (mouse-over to see)
About the collectibles. (mouse-over to see)

I don't know about everyone else specifically, but my keyboard-layout related issue (mouse-over to see) is rather silly. Edit: Nevermind that on my end.
