The fact that the player does not have a 2D map to have an idea of where they are headed might be confusing. The player might spend hours trying to figure out where the chest is to open it and they might be doing circles for hours. That is why I decided to give some sort of feedback to the player every time they are somewhat headed in the right direction – inspired by the game of hot and cold we used to play as kids.
I designed a 2D simple happy face emoji on illustrator and added it as an appearing/disappearing particle effect in the experience depending on the direction the player is teleporting to.
