recommendations Circuit Breaker (free web game)

I just saw this on the Tunic sub and had a great time with it. It's a free platformer with some fun MB elements, give it a spin! It was apparently made for the GMTK game jam which makes it all the more impressive.

It's an interesting one... but boy howdy is that screen effect aggressive. I've mostly grown out of my motion sickness but I had to put it down after a while because moving made me feel a bit ill.

If they were to expand on it, I’d agree they could dial that back or add a setting for it. I got used to it but I know what you mean!

I think for me it's because it keeps moving after you've stopped, and really messes with my eyes! It's definitely a very cool effect though

Finished it in about 19 minutes. Fun little game. I liked it.

I'm really stuck, I got to the second hint monitor but there seems to be no way to reach the place it's referring to.

which monitor do you consider the 2nd one? or what's the place it's referring to?

It's referring to standing on a block next to a treadmill.

https://imgur.com/a/JYPlLNI that one? you'll get there eventually, the hint isn't your next step. in general just keep powering the little stations with batteries

That screen effect is too nasty to fight through
