A lot of people are/will be frustrated at the lack of clarity, but I think this format has A LOT of potential, I personally feels like it needs to be slightly more, erm, "incremental" (lol), in the sense of making sure that only one new functionality unlocks at a time to make sure the user is able to feel what it does. The little pictorial tutorial in the bottom right goes a long way but it's not the only possible solution. I definitely liked it and I personally would like to encourage you to ignore the "hurr durr i need explanation" crowd and keep exploring this direction, even if some people might complain!
EDIT: just found the little tooltips (they weren't there 24 hours ago, right?), that helps but I feel like more "show don't tell" would be more interesting? Not sure, but do keep going!
Oh yeah I got that I am not controlling Tim directly! That's the thing, I push buttons but I can't see anything happen on the screen at all - the selector appears to not be moving, battery doesn't recharge, things don't upgrade/mine... maybe they are and I just don't know how. I guess what I'm saying is, some kind of visual feedback to what's happening is nice - even just a box blinking red if I am not allowed to perform an action, I guess? Dunno!
NEVERMIND! Something was wrong, I reloaded the game today and suddenly I was able to see the blinking cursor moving around as I push arrow keys!
