You really hit the 'exploration' theme on the mark

MY GOD. The man's head on the baby's body...

MY GOD.

Strange ... very strange.

It's interesting how you have a very simple platformer, but still can grab our attention

THis was trippy... I wonder if you can "beat" the game, or does it end when you get to a dead end it shows the dead end text?

matrin

Interesting experience, but It didn't really attract me.

kickstep

Oooh yes! A very strange game indeed! I love these sort of things! Some sort of weird ambient sound would put the cherry on top.

Game of the day.

Fantastic idea Risko, and I like your basic execution (color everywhere, clashing, seeping, text, pixeled images...). Made me think of Sanitarium (one of my favorite games), just because of the theme, even though its a completely different execution. I don't know if there's much to add here... as someone mentioned, some trippy music might be nice. I felt a bit stuck after I transformed into the "small person" and wasn't able to jump as high anymore, but I suppose that's all part of the point... in fact, now that I think about it, more transformations and interactions might make the game more engrossing, and add a bit more depth. Overall, great weekend game.

i get a psychadelic feeling with this one. nice!

uh, i became a kiddo.

nitram_cero

Wow, this is awesome. Congratulations.

entar

Bizarre, but interesting. I liked the "OR NOT" part :P

mathias

Nice use of the theme. I explored different pathways and eventually got to "my son" and the dead end text, I guess that was it? I felt that I didn't have much choises to do gameplay wise.

I liked the platforming, it caused you to really look at what was around. I didn't feel like the experience was.. immersive enough to keep me playing to get to the goal. There was something here, but I wasn't grabbed by it.

I have no idea what just happened, and that's the way it should probably stay.

I managed to get stuck as the exploding-head on adult body somewhere around the left side of the level, I think near the place you turn into a baby. I fell down a hole and then at the bottom there was a one-tile high gap I couldn't get through.

foggysheep

Hmm :D .. the changing faces/bodies/terrain-texts keeps it interesting, and the odd terrain is cool. I like entries which stick out :).. I ended up with the manbody + a changing mashed face of some kind. Was there an "ending"?

sinoth

A bizarre experience. Great job :) The game is begging for some atmospheric music.

doches

A visual mindfuck just begging for some surrealist ambient music!
