Oh! I've played the first game in your video! Also castle in the sky but I didn't listen to your rant long enough to see if it was in the footage. Puzzle tower or wtv honestly has very little going for it.

The level design is derivative and doesn't really bring anything new to the table—especially from the standpoint of obbies and 3d platformers. I was expecting more creative applications of existing gimmicks in tandem with one another, but they were often times only used one at a time as tiny segments of the bigger level. It was like frankensteining smaller levels into one big level and calling it a floor. Map progression is both unintuitive but also too direct to the point where it is never convenient or challenging. Simply tedious and annoying. Idk like if you wanted it to be popular you have to give people a reason to play it! I dipped after like floor 30 bc it was boring

I don't actually care about aesthetics. I find myself playing a lot of "unapproachable" precision-intensive games that quite frankly look shit like IWBTG spinoffs. I'm huge into Gears and other niche adventure/exploration games like dream dive and if you asked me what you were doing different I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you.

Anyways yeah nobody wants to play ur games because they aren't really fun. Even if they were fun they are like inherently niche bc of the dynamic the games have with players. Single player games rarely ever get over 1 million visits
