The "permadeath" kinda ruins the experience. Couldn't get through the 3. room of 2. level and doing the first two over and over just wasnt fun. Otherwise good game. Congrats on the data recovery and congrats on finishing it. Welcome to the gamedev world.
I’m something of a challenge addict - so it sort of leaks into the projects I make. I can totally understand how the death system works that it can be frustrating, but I made sure to have openings in every level, so it’s about learning where they are and then every level becomes a breeze. I’m glad overall you enjoyed the game :) Thank you for playing !
The game is really good indeed, especially since it's your first. However, it's not just about challenge. It's fine to have to do levels over and over again to find out how they work, but doing every single level over and over again when you die, that's just punishing the player. Even though it seems to be against your principles, I suggest you seriously consider to only redo the level you're on. Or perhaps do a checkpoint every 5 levels.
