Unfortunately, I suffer from epileptic seizures so I was not able to participate in this game aside from just the beginning few moments. But seemed like it woulda been fun to jump around in that world! The controls seemed good, just from my small sampling!
The art style is realy cool and the sounds fit to that. I wish that the controls where able to compute a diagonal movement. :)
I am sorry but I do not really understand what I am suppose to do in this game. But I really like the music. I am not a super fan of the visual style, not because it is super bad, but especially the blinking is way too intense. Overall an okay jam game.
It's really fun to run around and parkour around and feels good, especially with the sounds, but the visuals just make it impossible to play. Only 20 seconds in I was constantly closing my eyes so I wouldn't have to deal with the graphics. Good job, just cool it with the effects and post processing. The game would honestly be so much better if they were just singe colour boxes. I should also mention I'm not even epileptic or anything.
I am really unsure of what my goal is in this game. Some tip at the beginning would be nice! The light and color work, in conjunction with the music, creates a truly unique and quite psychedelic experience. Impressive work for a jam game! Not my cup of tea, but I bet it has its audience.
Really cool graphics. Overall feel reminds of old school PS1 games for some reason. Guess they were funky sometimes.
A pretty fun game with nice graphics, although i got headache while playing it.
I love the visual style here, but I can totally see why the epilepsy warning is necessary. This is really impressive, and I love the blender game engine here. I will say that the game is pretty hard, the busy visuals make it hard to make out the next cartridge location, and the timer is very short. If there was some visual effect to help guide you to the cartridges it would still be challenging but more doable I think. I also love the effect for the speed boost, the styilization feels like it is part of a much bigger professional game, great work!
A quick disclaimer: fetch-quests are my biggest pet peeves of mine. This game clearly isn't meant for me.
The presentation stands out in a good way, and the controls feels *wicked*. The thrill of just traveling around at high speeds is fantastic, and is easily what I enjoyed the most in the game. I was disappointed, then, to see the level focused on collecting things rather than parkour or racing experiences. Given the strong speed-running potential, the current level doesn't do a good job of, in my opinion, justifying the super-satisfying controls of the game.
As it is, I thought the collectibles were hard to make out from the flashy background, making the task of finding them tedious and frustrating. The lack of any guides or markers on where to find the next closest (or really, just any) collectible also didn't help in this regard. I also felt the timer was quite cruel, as I never really felt I had enough time (and distinct land marks or minimap) to map out the optimal route of collecting everything. Still, the polish on the game is really quite impressive. I just thought the objective clashed with the general feel of the game.

I played this game on stream with @Omiya-Games.
This game reminds of Refunct. It is a 3D platformer about fast movement and routing through a map to collect items in a time limit. I am impressed by procedural textures. They are also a bit much, even for those of us who are not epileptic.
While I don't generally play these kinds of games, I have before, and a lot of people could have a lot of fun with this.
The music good is good and appropriate.
Even so I have to return to the visual design. It's not just that it is so busy, it's that the game fails to communicate the location of the collectable items.
Finally I have concerns about the level design, I'm not sure it encourages flow in the movement of the player.
Well you sure weren't kidding with the seizure warning...
This one is very interesting. The movement is quite nice, the dash is super satisfying to pull off and the soundtrack really makes the game way more intense.
However, as stated before, the visuals are just too much. I got a headache a few minutes in and the entire screen is just very chaotic in general. I was also unable to find any collectibles because everything else on the screen is so noisy. I could see this as a super nice platformer though if you just tone down the flashy effects.
Why? What for? What have I done worng?

5 stars on graphics from me dude! You totally deserve it!
absolutely stellar in the looks department. it didn't seem to run too well for me though
I don't really understand the objective in the game, as I was only able to collect the LD diskettes, yet the remaining time didn't change after pickup. I also have to criticize the lag on restart (some UI to mention that the level is loading would be nice), and thanks to the lack of mentioning controls, I almost didn't notice the Shift key :) But of course, from a graphical standpoint, the design is very unique and has a great combination of a minimalistic design with some neat animations and lighting effects. It surely leaves a larger lasting impression than many other average-looking games :)
honestly, great entry for a blender engine game ; I've never seen someone use it, even more now since lastest version killed it and promoted godot instead
unique game with neat plateform movement and feedback
well done !
