Gamedev is hard, right? It is! Sometimes everything works, other times nothing at all. I don't think there's a flow state that could go on forever. There will always be contrast. From full on magic to complete failure. Right? 🙃

The survey for my game Demo is a real success. Nice to get encouraging feedback, but the suggestions are also super valuable. I will let it run for another week and then give you more detailed insights.

The sinking platforms in the Demo of Shallow Pond were a challenge for one of my best testers (my daughter, 7 l). so I built two Checkpoint platforms for her.

I've added the actual keyboard controls of the Demo to the controls panel for you all.
Switched "Stomp" to right mouse button just in case you fancy a TouchPad. Moved "Dive Down" to E since it's used more often than interact.

Just a workaround for those of you not having a gamepad while I integrate a proper controls display for keyboard: I added the possibility to jump above the fence. But you will need the Stomp (space + middle mouse button) in any case 🤝

I highly recommend using the gamepad, but it looks like some of you like using the keyboard to play the Demo of Shallow Pond. So I'm currently implementing the control scheme for it.
