As an aside does anyone else find their landing page really poorly designed ?. It scrolls up instead of down and shows a bunch of static screenshots where I wasn't entirely certain where the playable character was. it was all quite confusing until I finally landed on the explanation video which should have been the first thing they showed.

- avarun 9y agoYeah, that landing page is not doing the game any favors. I closed the tab halfway through scrolling up the page.
- quadrature 9y agoI was about to do the same. I think this and their playability issues could have been caught very early on with simple A/B testing.
- soneca 9y agoFor a simple AB testing they would need thousands of unique visitors and players for just one test. Just not possible for an indie game I believe
- ivanbakel 9y agoI couldn't understand what you meant until I saw the scripts the browser was blocking. That does sound like a very unintuitive experience, even if it does fit the game's aesthetic. I can't even think of a language system that reads upwards.
- pan69 9y agoTotally agree. I think the upward scrolling plays into a theme of the game itself: "JOURNEY UPWARD TO THE SUMMIT". But yeah, not very intuitive. It also takes a long time before you get to the video. I was just about the give up scrolling and thinking to myself, just show me a video when the video was there. Then I stopped watching the video half way through because it all looks a bit the same. I really like the graphics style, but like others have said. It needs contrast to differentiate between playable and non-playable elements. It all seems to blend into one right now.
