From Omi Oh My AI

However I did find a few bugs. Most of them were graphics but one did affect my ability to solve the puzzles. I emailed you (Xuan) about it. These could be a bit frustrating but I still enjoyed the gameplay very much, it flowed very well. Thank you for inviting me to playtest!

I enjoyed the puzzles getting a bit harder, even though it meant I got to see less of the potential puzzles. The bug with the dog questions being wrong is still popping up though. I can trial and error through for now. I like it when the puzzles go from being specifically dogs to any animal (#23), it catches you out.

This works very well, I tried it a few times and turned my laptop off and then back on to be sure. Once again I liked all of the first puzzles, aside from where I saw the bug I mentioned to you before. The visual puzzles are still my favourite (especially the first 5).

Unfortunately this new update broke the save file so I had to go back to the beginning again. Omi is very cute on the side with the new dialogue however it got a bit annoying when Omi repeated a lot of the same facts to me. I think Omi doesn’t need to talk that often if you don’t have enough facts to fill the time. But the facts were interesting so I felt smart solving the puzzles and learning information.

I think I’d like the text a little bit bigger for them though. The updated photos work really well for the image puzzles as well! Thanks for the wiki links as well. Obviously a bug fix would be better but having the workarounds definitely makes it easier to play. And I didn’t realise how weird AI are until I read those bug reports, either!
