looks absolutely gorgeous but wouldn't download on Mac :( kudos to the pixel artist though, absolutely. gorgeous.

The pixel artwork is great, I loved the squids and the giant face pursuing you is very ominous. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to be shooting at the face while running, or just running away from the face as it is indestructible.

Lovely and unique visual style, adore the presentation. great mood as well. I do think the speed at which the text appears is a bit slow and breaks up the pacing, I think speeding that up just a tad would go a long way. Regardless a very cool entry!

Fixed it! It should now be about right giving you enough time to read without interrupting the flow of the game

I loved the game's atmosphere. The art style and the ambient-sounding music worked together to set a slightly creepy mood. I'm not sure if I made it to the end or not; I could still shoot and hear the effect, but everything was dark and I couldn't move. A good showing for the jam!

Sort of confused by the story and what's happening. The text is also very hard to read as it gets slowly added to the screen because it keeps shifting line widths. I feel like my game also just randomly restarted after a few min.

Love the atmosphere and the art style, love shooting <3. The text felt a little invasive and I got a hard time reading it. Also at some point my screen went just black, I asume I finish the game, but I was still able to shoot (I heard the sound feedback) and I got stuck there.

Really strong atmosphere. I'm a bit confused about what I should do ^^ The writing is pretty good, the sound effect and music get the job done, the art is great although I would have like a bit more elements.

As others have pointed out, the text is annoying too read because it's shift line width and height. Moreover it's not skippable when you retry.

Its a little confusing what is going on but I do like the pixel art. When the text is auto adjusting it moves a lot making it hard to read. There is also a bit of dissonance when I start the game I'm moving very fast, but then the game stops my and displays text in slow mo, the slow mo is cool but it feels like it gets in the way of the gameplay. Maybe there could be a button to move on from the text after having read it instead of having it write slowly on screen.

Interesting experience. The (dialogue?) was quite poetic. Very moody.
