Love the art style, it reminds me a lot of lsd dream simulator type games where it's mostly about the spectacle of the experience but the lite 3d platforming was a nice addition!

Great artstyle, love the voiceover very moody! The second level with the lightbulbs or snowglobes made me a bit sick. The moving of the background was way too much and made it hard as a platformer. Over all feel is good, i think a move velocity based mid aircontrol would have been fun so you dont have as much control as you do now. Still very pretty looking and good mood, gave me chills in the beginning!

Really awesome game! I love the art style and atmosphere, the 3d platforming was great and with the voice over, create this eerie and hypnotic feel for the game. Overall a very great and memorable game!! Fantastic work!

Love the style and atmosphere. The controller could definitely use some work. Loved the lightbulbs lighting up, however I think you fall for far too long before dying in that section. Here's a timestamped link to the vod: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1003143985?t=4h26m28s

An interesting concept. There were some issues with jumping for me. Sometimes I'd press the jump button, and it would just not jump. Could have something to do with the fact that I'm running a 144hz monitor, so maybe the jump checks were happening at 60hz instead of every frame? This combined with spherical platforms where, if you step forward, you lose contact with the ground and can't jump, made some of the platforming sections more difficult than they should have been.

Congratulations on your game, I felt like I was in a mix of several Tim Burton films, a great experience, a big hug, and I look forward to your feedback regarding my game.

Certainly very psychedelic, it very much felt like a dream state of a game. I don't particularly understand the story. I feel more could have been expanded on there. I did like the low poly graphics, and very bright and saturated colors that helped the game feel like a dream.
