I can feel that desperation myself! Very good mood.

But didn't find out how to play or, how to win? Maybe it's just a story teller?

Anyway, well done!

I really feel the suffocating atmosphere! very nice!!!!! I can't breath when I reach the end. But I am a little bit confused with the task? I try to save that guy by moving the rock but when I finished removing all, I can't interact with that guy. But very nice overall.

The game made me breathe along with its pace — making it incredibly immersive! I didn't have the patience to wander slowly, but running made my remaining life all too short... VERY well done.

Loved that asphyxiating feeling. Very good!

This game definitely immerses you in the general mood of it, its hard not to feel desperate as you search for meaning on this desolate planet. I even found myself breathing along with the astronaut. The art really works here, especially seeing that planet in the background. The heart and lungs gui are cool, but I think it would be cool if the heart beat faster as you sprinted (if it did, it wasn't too noticeable to me). I also really like the circle graphic in the beginning, and I think either would work well. I wasn't entirely able to get the full functionality of sprinting vs walking or picking things up, but I might just need to play again. I also survived way longer than I expected based on the oxygen GUI. This game is great though and I love the feeling of exploring this little world for a more open-ended submission.

The main mechanic of having to manually respirate is really interesting, and the way you have integrated it into your story is really cool! I can totally feel the vibe of existentiality you guys were going for, and think you've built it up with the gorgeous art assets and music *wonderfully*. Great job!

Neat game! Really liked the breathing, and how zen it made me feel. A little lost at points, but I appreciated what I got out of playing the game. Good job!

Love the art style and atmosphere, and the concept of the game is thought-provoking and kind of beautiful. Recognizing that you're in a hopeless situation, but still finding comfort and peace by appreciating everything around you

Very innovative. The inevitability was palpable, that's for sure!

can´t realy put the point but cool

Loved the vibe, I wish there was some way to tell if you took the optimal breath. Very cool visual atmosphere great music, well done.

Cool game. A little more feedback visually to intuitively give you a goal but the mechanic twist was awesome and stressful. Great mood. Downer game but fun somehow. Nice art style and desperate track.

Very beautiful and haunting. I wasn't sure if there was more I could achieve by doing something else .. but maybe that's the point?

Really enjoyed the game. The rhythmic breathing cultivates a calm attitude and having the player control the breath made it even more directly engaging. The way that calm attitude shifts over the course of the game as the oxygen runs out is very interesting. Love how the breathing controls are explained at the beginning. Only thing I can really suggest would be having a couple tanks scattered around to trigger a little hope in the player. Very good work all around!

This was a fantastic idea! I love the mood, the visuals and the audio. That rhythmic breathing was a great idea. I also really liked how you had incorporated the instructions for what keys to use in the environment. Well done!
