Hey, this was pretty difficult but I really like the idea. It became quite a fun timing puzzle to try and guess when you think it will be safe again.

Its a nice idea but I seemed to be getting some odd input lag. The game would sometimes pick up button presses very late.

This is pretty neat! I like how you have to evaluate if it's worth the risk to keep your eyes closed for longer or not, since - if you keep them closed for a brief time, you know where you are, but if you keep them closed for long, the world situation changed a lot, meaning you might die as soon as you open them.

Nice concept and it was a bit hard. Nice audio, it fits the game.

This was a nice idea! Collision boxes were a bit too big in my opinion, though.

Very cool idea but super hard and a few times I don't know why I died.

whoa, brilliant concept, loved it! wish you had more time to explore the mechanics more. great job overall!

Actually a clever idea. The point is that you have to maneuver around holes, while you can blink 'through' enemies? There's room for interesting strategy there, and I like how you get different waves of enemy types. The monsters are animated well, too. One problem is that since you have only one life, it's very unforgiving...I would have liked an energy meter or something to let the player get used to it. (Also, the game says "move with WASD" but that doesn't work. :P )
