1. The EXE file triggered a Windows security alert. Maybe check if there's a way to fix it on your next build. It's scary.
2. The game requested to install a deprecated Windows Component (Direct Play) which I didn't install. It probably is something in the engine you're using. Scary number 2.
3. The music is VERY loud and I didn't see a way to adjust the volume. Please consider adding that setting.
4. Pressing crouch down didn't seem to do anything.
5. I didn't see a timer or score counter. Maybe it didn't display because I didn't install that component in point 2?
6. The game would be more fun and challenging if the hooks came down near or on top of the player position after X seconds of not moving. I spent a good while without moving on one side of the screen while the hooks went down on the opposite side.
We re also aware of the problems you have mentioned in the game and here are the response to your following criticisms.
With first and second issue you have mentioned, the problem is in the game engine itself since this game is made with now outdated Gamemaker 8.0. But there won’t be any problem when initiating the program. We recommend you to download additional programs to stably run the game.
Setting features which includes volume control will be introduced in ver 2.0.
With number 4, we decided to abolish the crouch down system since it seemed to be considered meaningless in already thrilling in-game experience. We are sorry for inconvenience.
With timers, we are still in consideration of whether shall we add or not and the score counter is still in development and will be introduced in ver 1.5.
With number 6, we are appreciated with the idea you have suggested. We are currently considering to implement your ideas for upcoming versions.
We will try our best to solve the following problems you have mentioned in upcoming versions, which will be constantly updated until complete final version is released. Thank you for the feedback.
