fab idea, cool artwork

Really cool! Loved the graphics, and I was terrible at playing the game but still fun!

My game's about hypnosis too ! Good work, fun story, I'm very down with the graphics. Overall, a great job !

Absolutely outstanding in both aesthetics and thematics!

I like the story, really cool concept and the staging of the game drew me in immediately! however I do feel that the static noises for the sounds chasing you were a little bit jarring! Overall really nice!

the pixel art style looks great! The first scene of talking about sleep is really moving me cause I have been suffering something similar. Good idea and implementation for a compo game!

The game is fun. I played two games: avoid sounda and avoid lights and is was fun.

Great job on the pixel art and the minigames were a ton of fun. It took me way too long to beat the second level. The ending was just incredible :D

Very nice take on the theme, it is great seeing something different that is actually well done ! The mini-games are not especially innovative, but it was nice having various gameplay. I enjoyed the storytelling part, even though it was sometimes difficult to focus on the game and on the text in the top right corner. Took me a while to complete levels 2 and 3 x)

There should be some sort of feedback when hitting something. I guess at some point I hit another car but it was not very clear, so I was confused of the screen fading out to start over.

The pixel art is really nice! The title screen is really gorgeous, good job! Audio is really nice too, the "mysterious" melody adds a lot to the mood.

Nice entry !

Fun game, but too hard for me :) Couldn't get past the first minigame haha

Very cohesive game, everything fits together with the gameplay and the plot. I already had suspected what the real problem was by the 2nd minigame, so you did a great job foreshadowing. Don't know if this was intentional, but the best strategy I found for the first minigame was running in a big circle along the edge, which reminded me of a spinning clock like the hypnotist would use, very cool! Well done!

Nice game, although I found it very hard. Here are some tips for those who have yet to play (I hope the developer doesn't mind): - For the first minigame, run around in a big circle along the edge - For the second minigame, just focus on the right hand side and move your character up or down as necessary, so you only need to focus on 3 lights instead of 6 (I think the game is designed such that you never have 3 lights come together on the same side) - For the last minigame, for the clocks one first move your character to the bottom to maximise your reaction time, then, straddle the middle of 2 lanes and just focus on those 2, when a clock/car comes on one side just move your character to the left/right side a bit (this applies to both the clock and car games). For the cars one occasionally you will have to squeeze through very narrow gaps but still if you get lucky, which I did, there will be a time where the 2 lanes you pick don't have any narrow gaps and you can pass quite easily.

@escapade I don't mind at all, I'm just glad to see you didn't give up made it to the end. The game was a bit difficult by design, and it actually does make itself a bit easier if the player dies a few times (don't think anybody caught on to that so far)

Art style is great and it's a nice take on the theme. I personally found it a bit difficult, maybe I just don't have the patience :D

Solid entry. The music almost made me fall a deep sleep.

tanis 2021-05-08 17:26

This is some LSD game man, simple mechanic but solid execution. Good job

It is first horror i've seen at this LD, your game is awesome

youk 2021-05-11 14:24

It's a bit too hard for me but very fun to play. The terror mood is very attractive.

tangiblegames 2021-05-11 18:44

The second stage was sooooooo difficult for me. What a story though!!! A 5 star entry.

brad-make-games 2021-05-11 18:49

@youk @tangiblegames Thank you for the kind words. I apologize for the difficulty. I wanted to make it easier and I've seen other entries change difficulty post submission time, but I personally don't like touching the game at all after submissions end.

tangiblegames 2021-05-11 19:17

@brad-make-games And it's a Compo entry! Wow.

dhavavamba 2021-05-11 20:01

I lik the idea and I love this pixel art!

tiffi-gaming 2021-05-14 19:17

The beginning was very relaxing, but that changed :D
