Very nice game! I liked how every single level had different graphics and music, and the texts (with the quality voice acting) before each level added a lot. The levels were a bit confusing, but other than that, great entry!
It's a great, kinda psychodelic game
Was really confused at first since I didn't know how big the map was and how to find anything. Put quickly learned that you can move down and come out at the top of the map which made things way better. Each level has different enemies and graphics, which is awesome. At the end everything comes together you get a clear picture of your mind ;)
That was a strange experience, this is a very trippy game. I liked the message about finding the key to happiness while avoiding the enemies created by the mind. The graphics kinda hurt my eyes in the end I have to say.
Your wish has been granted!
Interesting game! I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games! https://youtu.be/R25_tXZwmbw
Fun graphics and a great backgroundmusic! During play I wished I would have a minimmap or some objects inside the landscape for orientation, but in the later levels it got funny because lots of things happend (cool idea to put all enemys again in the last level. Thank you for your entry!
Cool game, really liked the background music and original concept! Keep the good work up!
I really liked all the music! The voice acting to tell me there was no voice acting was odd, probably better without it, so I can read the text without distraction, though the voice sounds nice. The gameplay was a bit random and simple to be interesting and didn't really connect to the theme or story that I could tell. The art was pretty crazy and random and kinda worked.
I won! I want to know which drugs you were on when you made the art, because I want some! Also, I really enjoyed the music.
I found the Key to my happiness! Cute graphics.
@icefallgames the only drug I use is listening to bill wurtz.
One of the strangest games I've played.
Voice acting bit made me laugh :laughing: That was certainly a unique thing and an interesting bit of insanity.
I found the graphics, especially the color choices, hard to look at. All the vivid colors blending together in movement made it seem like some acid trip movie :laughing: My eyes hurt.
One thing is certain: This game I will not forget anytime soon. Oh, and I'm happy now! The text said so:

Talk about a charming entry, kinda reminded me of LSD Dream Emulator with the graphics and concept! Fantastic job, would've loved to have heard some voice acting but completely understand the redaction given the time constraints. Splendid entry :) <3
I found the key and I am now happy. Thank you.
Very weird game with the ugliest graphics ever, but... somehow I was never bored and laughed a few times? The voice acting joke made me laugh (the first time at least). The music was quite good. And there's a whole psychedelic mood that ended up being interesting. I can't say the gameplay was really fun though.
Finding a certain place inside a looping world with enemies to avoid and optional collectibles that make the game easier (stars are hit points?) sounds like a good concept. (reminds me of the Cosmic Ocean from Spelunky 2)
I feel like a little more feedback for stuff that happens would have been nice though. When you pass the loop border you are teleported and sometimes land inside enemies you weren't able to see before.
I like that there was different themes for each level and that the final level was a combination of the previous themes. The graphics didn't look like they were intended for being tiled though which was not very pleasing to look at.
The music was good and fit the vibes. Voice acting just to remind the player that there's no voice acting is kind of useless, but funny. All in all: It's a very weird entry with good concepts, but lots of problems in execution.
This is the first game I'm playing on here that gave me a headache and made me feel nauseous. The backgrounds were a bit.. too much in that regard.
I really like aesthetic. Can't explain why but the gaudy colours really appealled to me.
It was an interesting experience.
First of All, Great Job and Well done to submit a Game from Scratch in just 48 hours. But I was a bit pushed away from the game because of differnt design choices. The Backgrounds of many levels are just too trippy and repetative they didn't worked well. I would like to have the game to be zoomed out a bit, that would make the overview and the possibility to react to enemies a bit more convenient and more fair.
Finding the stars and the key felt random so that I just have to wait in the Level and have to wait for the Key to spawn next to me. Any indication like a small compass, a little arrow or anything like that would be great.
The Game Mechanics in general worked well and I faced no bugs. The Story and the idea of that was quiet interesting and totally Fine.
Well Done in general.
Very trippy game! Some of the backgrounds and music were a little too much for me though. Gameplay felt a bit like finding a needle in a haystack. The game could use some finishing touches, like animations, particles, and drop shadows to make the movement feel less floaty.
The visuals, especially the backgrounds are cool but a little bit hard to look at for too long, but I guess it's on purpose, so the stars and keys are harder to find! The game is pretty simple but the 'story' behind it is clever and well put. Good job!
