Really enjoyed the idea of the ground rotating beneath me! I think I encountered a bug where I didn't restart properly after I died, I just hung in the air.

I fixed the stuck in the air bug, thanks for letting me know!

Great game, It is amazing how a cry for help from a person, even a stick figure, can give you the urgency to play the game to help him. I liked the idea a lot, depression is a loop people can get stuck in and you are the seratonin that comes to help them break the loop, and to add to that you made the level circular with seamless transitioning between levels which is amazing! The two things I would improve on are snappier controls, it takes to much time to jump and the jump is to long. and you should not respawn to level 1. I got to level 2 twice, died to the same spike and did not want to redo everything again. Anyways, great game I enjoyed it a lot!

Someone put a lot of love into their game. There's just one weird bug: Spacebar while "dying" causes a frozen camera screen. Otherwise I can only say: Good job :thumbsup:

Fun platformer, made it almost to the end of level 2. Agree with @indiequest that the jump time could use a little improvement, but overall good job!

Cool color palette and character style! I like the premise too, though it would be neat if the enemies were negative emotions like self doubt, helplessness, and dread, rather than headaches.

...that's very relatable, lol.

Anyway, the game is pretty good, the controls are ok, but the collision seems a bit wonky, it might have something to do with the rotating ground. Also, the jump animation looks really good! I especially like the cartoony squash and stretch effect, very nice. Music and cutscenes is also quite good and wacky.

Also, seratonin boi is best boi.
