Can you quickly explain how you fixed your issues? Like you talk about the menu not working in the build, while it works in the editor. This is an interesting problem and people want to know how you fixed it. It's just cool for fellow game devs that might encounter the same. It would be entertaining and educative at the same time. :)

I like how this guy is doing this, Then he is like "shit this is a bit hard" now he is STILL doing it, That is the separation between achieving your goals and not. We all can take a note here and realize the path to success is doing it even when it is hard, I started game dev about two years ago, then I learned code, modeling, animation, texturing, now I am finally able to start using unreal in a meaningful way, it takes a long time to get to that point. lots of respect points!

After 3 hours I am done! It is a good gam though, but let me tell you something: "The hard part about a puzzle is to find the solution, the easy part is to execute it" So if I already know what to do, I should be able to easely do that. In your game I had fun finding the solutions, but it was frustrating to do all these perfect jumps. Fix this, and Im sure people will love your game!

[@mrorange159]

I tried to make a game like this once, but I found that the puzzles I was making were just too basic to be interesting to anyone, it's just the nature of moving multiple players... once you figure out one problem the rest seem to be incredibly easy... so I added things like toggle switches and fans to blow the characters upwards to higher ground but yeah in the end scrapped it. it's very interesting to see you ran in to the same issues I did.

[@Neutronized]

wow, your channel has been growing a lot. Super congrats

[@Jargonloster]

First off, gotta say, you're videos are always top-tier, keep it up! Secondly, level design is an interesting beast. When I made my game, I wanted to make levels that were challenging, but fair. But it's quite difficult to know what a player will find challenging when you're looking at the game through a level designer's lens. You of course will know how to solve the level (or what platforming trick to use), but the player is looking at the game for the first time and may find what you think to be good, fair challenge to be rather frustrating. I can say from experience that when I played your game, I did get frustrated by (the infamous!) level 10, and by the time I got to the levels following it, I was more prone to frustration than optimism. I don't want to ramble on any further, I just think it's an interesting discussion.

[@murtazagawhary2912]

[@lambda6041]

Just like your game, great video! I loved your game, and this video was awesome to learn from as well.

[@1Kapachow1]

Really enjoyed the game! Played it in browser version now, took me over 1 hour to finish the first 12 levels, 3 more to go :) I got vibes (in a good way) of "Total Party Kill" - a game that I bought for my kid who enjoyed the challenge as well. Maybe you should consider making puzzle games your main thing, because if you made this in 3 days, you can create amazing releases - maybe one per month of awesome puzzle games :) I didn't finish the game yet, but I don't consider it "too hard" so far - see how many people bought dark souls, if you haven't, you are welcome to try it (and lose many hours of your life until it you master it).

[@ilarisilander]

I played MindLoop, and I gotta say that you have to make a full release of that game. Holy jebus christ it's good. Takes me back to the days when I played Braid on the Xbox 360 :) such simple design, yet there is a huge potential to just keep making levels giving it that candy crush type of feel where you just have to complete the next level. And please don't make the game easier. The difficulty is perfect. You get more value out of the game if you actually have to think :D or maybe put some easier levels between the super easy and the difficult puzzles. A couple of thoughts for the game. 1. Level 5 and level 6 are the same. 2. I would like to see which level I am currently playing 10/10 from me
