Hey, really struggled with this game but I think that's my own personal skill issue, still figured I'd give you a bit of my gameplay experience in case its of any help.
Yeah no It’s definitely not your mistake the game is pretty much impossible to play until you understand what kind of audio cue you need to hear and how to properly move, which ended up being far less intuitive than I thought it would when first making this game.
I had countless others gets stuck on the same thing, never got around to properly fixing it considering the game died down a lot anyway and I mostly moved on, thanks a lot for taking your time to try the game out though.
Thank you! I will update the game to make it a bit more intuitive. Thanks for trying it anyways! <3
To explain it for now, what you actually need to do is look into the tunnels for a sound, you can only hear the noise when looking in the right tunnel, and you need to wait on each tunnel for a little bit to hear it.
Stylistically, this looks absolutely awesome. I particularly like the fading away of the UI elements / tutorial. Also… a curious take on fallling block haha
But in terms of gameplay, maybe I misunderstood something, but I’m stuck in a loop where I frantically try looking towards all 3 tunnels, but the monster arrives anyways, I waste a flare, keep looking at the tunnels while fixing the blocks, the monster arrives again and I die before I can get a 2nd block :(
From your video it seems like I’m doing things correctly (??)
But again, excellent job, very atmospheric. (nice itch.io page btw)
Basically in terms of gameplay you need to switch between the tunnels that aren’t protected by a flare, and listen for if one of them is going to make a sound, you can hear it in the video when I stop and start staring into a tunnel, you need to stay on that tunnel until the sound is fully gone, otherwise it will still attack.
You can also use a flare to your advantage if it becomes difficult to manage all 3 tunnels.
Ohh I see, yeah I was switching between tunnels non stop (including the one with the flare)
Also, I didn’t notice this sound you mention, only when the eyes already show up (Which I thought at first was the thing I had to stare, until I died haha)

The monster was definitely hard to spot, I'm unsure as to what kind of cue I was waiting for, but it'll be a great game fore sure! I enjoyed it

Ahhh, that's what I was missing. Thank you for clarifying that
