The message at the end was cute, but playing this was infuriating. :(

It took me like 20 tries just to get past the first panel, because it was buzz with failure every time I got to the door after picking up the key. It took forever to realize the buzz was from the timer, because it always buzzed once I was already at the door, like the door was the wrong goal.

Then once I realized it's time-based, another 20 tries to do the second panel in a short enough time. The third panel was easy, though.

So something seems to be miscalibrated. (Macbook Air M1 on Chrome, and it's not like I've got a slow key repeat configured or anything.) I get that it's trying to force you to take the shortest distance, but playing this made me incredibly angry because it felt like it was unwinnable. And when I finally did succeed on the first and second panels, it felt random -- maybe it gave me extra time or something? It's not like I got any "better" at it.



Huh, I didn't have sound enabled (or didn't get any buzzing) and all doors were readily unlocked on my first attempt.

Have you tried upgrading your M1 processor to an AMD Ryzen? /s (sarcastic, but with love)


The first panel where you literally only have to go backward then forward?

There was a ton of time for me. Either something odd with your computer, or developer's timing algorithm doesn't work the same on all machines.


I'm going to guess the timing algorithm has something wonky. Because no, not enough time to go backwards then forwards.


I assume you meant to reply to the same person I replied to.


I struggled with the second one, but I assumed it was just because I have low DEX
