Thoth (PC) - Second 5 Minutes of Gamplay (MOVE FAST BY NOT SHOOTING)

Revisiting after my first attempt --    • Thoth (PC) - Level #49 - First 8 Minu...   -- after learning you move fast by not shooting. Knowing the controls, I anticipated I would enjoy the game (a lot), but was wrong. To defend the game and my point of view, I am game designer with my own style and strict "empower the player" philosophy to make the player kick ass. The game design in Thoth emphasizes the player's weakness. Some might say it is because the game is difficult, and there is a connection, however difficulty does not need to come from player weakness. This idea is often confused by game designers and game reviewers. In our Xona Games titles, the difficulty arises from enemy difficulty or level difficulty while never letting up on giving the player ultimate control. They can always kick ass, no matter how hard the game gets. In conclusion, Thoth is a unique game, just a different style than I want which means nothing. It has strong ratings in Steam, so if this is your thing, pick it up and let me know!
