Time Spent: ~4 minutes This game as actually pretty fun to try, but it's incredibly hard. At 10% efficiency, I feel like the ship doesn't move fast enough for me to be able to do anything meaningful. If I don't get lucky in the first two rooms, I don't think I can even win. At 100% efficiency, I won. Then tried 3 realities and won again. Oddly enough, I ran into a weird bug that kept happening. The right portal would still send me to the start. I knew it was the right portal because it had worked a previous time. It would fail one time, but work the next, like nothing went wrong to begin with. It became a bit annoying, especially if it didn't work the first time and I tried a different portal thinking the correct one was wrong. Overall, though, I like it! Maybe have like a "rocket" button that'll let you use some extra oxygen to go faster? Just something that'll help the player if they know the path.

Wow, great job capturing the mood of being stuck & running out of oxygen! I got really scared when the audio started getting intense.

Found it pretty hard (could not get to the end!) but had fun with it. In particular the audio and gfx when running out of oxygen were nice.
I feel like using oxygen as fuel to move faster would make the game a bit more enjoyable but that said I still thoroughly enjoyed this game. Well done!

Thank you for all the feedback! I will definitely use it to improve the game

Game looks really good. Had to tune up ship efficiency to achieve victory. Main gameplay loop is pretty fun.
Separate from the difficulty tuning, the ship movement is a bit slow. Even for a chill floating in space experience I kept wanting a higher top speed.

Pretty fun game! I used F*** quite a lot ^^ But finally I managed to beat it. Nice concept, liked it!
This reminds me of The Lost Woods from Zelda but in space. It's a neat little memory game. Default ship is a little slow, but I like the sound effects. Those provide nice mood. Good job!

Very difficult, but I did it :) Maybe it should be balanced a bit better, and not have 6 or 7 different portals or so.

I enjoyed the art and the sound effects, and I appreciated that fewer portals appeared the closer I got to my home reality. Adding something just beyond it being a memory would be nice though.
Well done!
Nice work, pretty simple concept and not super interesting but challenging and entertaining regardless. Liked the engine sound of the ship a lot too!
