We were excited to see that people were excited to try our game and were lining up for a chance to play. In addition, we observed that players enjoyed the game and had an average playtime around 15-20 minutes, even without majority of the game content implemented. They highly enjoyed bouncing around in the world with the current mechanics.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">One of the most valuable feedback we gained was that<\/span><strong style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; text-align: var(--text-align);\"> player had the instinct that basic tricks fuels up double jump bar, and then advanced tricks would add points.\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align);\">This perfectly solves our previous issue of logically integrating tricks into gameplay, and we immediately decided to adopt this feature.
