Known Features
- One of the core features present is that our character can enter pipes in order to move through the map.

Known Issues
- Camera sensitivity isn’t tuned.
- Weird camera collision against meshes..
- In the Tutorial level, launching from the fan and spamming E into the pipe will cause the player to be launched out from the otherside.

Playtest Guidance
When playing through the Archives level, were there any moments where you felt lost or confused? Are there jumps too difficult to make? If so, how can we improve upon it? We plan to add lighting which will lead the player in the right direction.
How is the overall feel of the game? Are the controls responsive? Can you get from platform to platform without any issues?
With the mechanics, are there certain aspects of it that felt confusing? Did the tutorial cover them enough to where they were easy enough to understand?
How is the overall feel of the combat within the game? Was it frustrating, enjoyable, or mundane?
With some of the other levels, were there moments where you felt lost or soft locked? If so, can you name them and what you encountered?
