What do the yellow arrows do? They seem the same as the white ones.

Thank you for trying my little concept jam game :)

Yellow are actually mashable arrows. Every time you press them you take 1 second off the timer, and you can press them as much as you want!

The narrator was hinting at it : "Through dedication and intense repetition you will find the secret..."


There’s the risk of clicking that button too much and failing a check though, felt like a cool little risk/reward mechanic to add the game.

I like how at first I thought I could just spam the arrows to cheese it but that turned out to be a fake solution, I really like the message!

Thank you, yeah all it does is set you back a ton (time-wise). You rarely can brute force solutions in life.

And also even if you went through a level and mapped all arrows out, you can’t really input them all at once in the beginning… 

The skip “gray” arrows have a random direction + you can only ever act against your closest visible obstacle, the one in the present.

 So even if you’re sure of the direction to take, life always seems to find a way to present you with the unexpected… 

And you can only ever deal with those if you’re fully committed to the present :)

My god! That's awesome work in 9hrs. Learnings took me 4:23. Not proud to say it. Yellow are really tough. Also, so many variation of the same idea with such limited time. Great imagination!

Thank you so much :) Yellow are actually mashable arrows. Everytime you press them you take 1 second off the timer :)

Happy you had some good fun :) It was tough in 9hrs to have it done and I have a few ideas on how to add even more stuff so good things to come hopefully.
