"The game is paid, but if someone would like a promo code to try it please let me know below. "

right in the opening post.

I recall an Indie Game Jam many years ago where there were bonus points for no/limited visuals. You understood the assignment!

The author explicitly said to ask for one if needed, why would it be appalling?

Because it's 95 cents. Even with the author offering it, going through the process of requesting, accepting, and entering the code is effort to save 95 cents. It's 95 cents.

Auther says "would like" not "need". You guys are looking to fight a problem that doesn't exist.

Are you referring to the sum total of two comments asking for a promo at the time you posted this?

Hyperbolic top level comments with phrasing like "the number of people" to make it sound large and extreme and calling it "appalling" when the author is offering promo codes in their post and people are subsequently requesting them is the actual bad behavior here.

What's interesting is that I get better results if I close my eyes to focus on feeling the sequence I need to copy and feel the feedback.

The usual : improve a sense by shutting down another?

Anyway, it's fun!

Really cool idea. Novel, I imagine a lot of people would play this. I would suggest a social media campaign with short form videos. Seems like something that has the potential to go viral or at least make a lot of money.
