Content doesn't fit on screen, loads 50% of the time.
How much time do I have to wait for it to start? And why is it not centered on the screen but yes on one of the corners and not full screen?
A rather interesting little game!
I felt like the ending was a bit weak, especially since you can pick up <HYMN> long before Mission Complete. I personally would've liked some more background on the choice behind the names, since it was rather neat to see the first time around!
Thanks for the feedback ; )
Most "nouns" picked serve the target experience. I too agree that the finale can be designed differently! Well, maybe later, to see if I can find that quilting-point for the storylines.
