His own small World

Your game was nice to play ! Not easy enough to finish in one row, but I finally did it ! The idea was great, and I think that it could be even more interesting if you succeed in making an "scalable" design that changes when your panic increases. I didn't notice if answers had different consequences ?

Little observation : I didn't see the "Pills" infos the first times I played, could you try to make it more visible ? I though I had to achieve in one row, without any way to decrease the panic'o meter :P

Nice graphics for an interesting gameplay. I assume that with more time you could do something more enjoyable, but it is good enough. Well done ++

Interesting take on the theme and mental health. A little bit on the nose perhaps.

Great atmosphere. On a Mac, the game seems to crash on the GameOver.

Really interesting take! Probably the most unique game I've played so far this jam. I liked how the 'real' world would grown and shrink.

Wow man, super creative game! I haven't seen a simultaneous parallel game like that before. I paused a lot just to eye the details you put in both worlds, and the changes between them. You put a lot of effort into making that creepy world. 5/5 innovation

Wow, that parallel worlds and the psychosis taking over with each and every interaction you need to have with the world was really quite powerful. The fact that the real world was unintentionally (?) glitching while this happened, I think just added to the experience. In fact that is something you could work with. I lost track of the panic-meter because it was that far out of view and perhaps it would have been nicer to have a line running through the screen for where you'd panic if the dark view took over that far.

The menu was a little confusing, I didn't really understand the duplicate `start games` and second play-through I hoped the `start game` would skip the intro.

In the game, it would probably have been nice to get an indication on exactly when you enter the trigger of each enemy by flashing/pulsating the divider for a brief moment before it actually started to move. It wasn't really clear either how/where you could walk in the world and I guess what I'm saying is that the controls there could have been a little better made.

I didn't mind failing though, because this was a really interesting game. Very well done!

Really interesting idea! Thoroughly enjoyed it!

A very... interesting game, to say the least. I liked seeing two versions of everything, but I was quite confused to how you were supposed to get past the "enemies". Walking up to them and talking would fill up the panicmeter, but also make them go away. Trying to go around seemed to work sometimes, except for the ones that were moving way too fast. I liked the pixel-art though, looked very clean and readable. Overall, interesting but tricky.

Interesting game! Cool to see you take on the theme kind of mentally, I think you worked it out pretty good. If you don't mind, you can check out my game here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/earth-invaders

I really like your idea. You created a very interesting game. It's something different. This is what I love about Ludum Dare.

I like the graphics as well. Really good work!

This was impressive! I enjoyed and appreciated the level of work for the jam. Great job!

Very interesting concept - challenging game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRPh1GNGnP0
