Would be happy to play a macOS or even better, a WebGL build. As a mac user I can't use the options available. Game sounds neat, though.

Hey! Tried on linux (Ubuntu 20). Works perfectly fine!

I think it's a nice concept. Really liked the mechanics. The music is not super complex but it works perfectly in my opinion. And kudos for going 3D!

The things that I would change are the excessive sliding of the character when falling. I would remove the horizontal component of speed when you fall down, otherwise it gives the feeling that you are walking on ice (or maybe that was intended?).

And sometimes I could not understand the geometry of the pieces. I felt like going deep by brute forcing. It would be nice to have some feedback on the geometry of the pieces you fall through, after you go through them.

Nice work overall!

A weird and pretty fun little game. It felt a bit buggy, but it was not too bad, especially because it kinda fits the game idea.

Nice platform game with Fez mechanic style. I loved the atmosphere. Nice Work!

A nice game, some Fez-like mechanics, an eerie and cool soundtrack, and a simple artstyle. It at times felt like solving one of those puzzle blocks where you can't really see inside and you're pretty much turning it around and guessing your way through, i think you could've done a better job communicating the level layout, making it a bit clearer where you could fall, and where you could not, also right at the start i can full send the character left or right and it doesn't count as a death, i can just keep falling forever. Still a great job overall, very nice game, i really liked it!

Nice atmosphere with music and the weird falling background stuff
