I think the idea is avoid invisible platforms and reach answers within 10 sec, but I'm not sure. I thought I had 3 lives but died in first fail, I'm not sure if it's a bug.
I like the overall mood, everything looks like they belong together. I think UI quality was better than in-game quality so it felt a little off.
Honestly, i don't understand everything in this game, but the actual gameplay is cool and the mood is.. psychedelic ? that's interesting
This is an interesting puzzle game - I liked the concept of having to find the right answer within the 10-second rounds. I LOVED the obscure artstyle, font and vfx in this.
Sometimes it felt a little buggy and the head wouldn't move where I wanted it to (also annoying that it can go off screen).
Great job!
Trippy!
_I didn't understand the story, though._
Interesting game. You did a really good job of making everything cohesive in giving that eerie feel. Good pacing and progressive difficulty.
I always like finding the weird stuff on here, and this definitely fits the bill. This whole thing is so bizarre that I'm not really sure what to make of it, except that the presentation is superb. For a game that's completely narrative focused, it would definitely benefit from having a longer and clearer story. I'm not sure if I died or if it just ended, but I played it twice picking different answers and it played out the same way both times.
Very interesting game! Be careful, I think it is almost impossible to complete for color blind people! I like the graphics and the cryptic puzzles, it is just frustrating when you die and have to restart, the 10 seconds feel very long in that case.
Overall well done!
I feel like the story is building on something I don't know about. Regardless, the feel of the game is really neat. I'm not sure what you did, but I think you did a good job doing *it*.
It was... an experience. I like it!
I wasn't sure if I had reached the end, so I checked the source just to make sure. Sure enough, that was the end! I really liked the background, and the way the camera zoomed into the eye. Cool game, wish it was longer!
Really interesting experience, solidly built. Confused af, but that's probably the intention?
I have no clue what the story is supposed to be about, but it was certainly an interesting game. The art and audio and writing make an excellent eerie mood. I wish there were a way to skip the 10 second wait on some of the earlier questions. The font was a bit hard to read. Those are my only complaints.
This 2D Movement with obstacles to select the answer is really creative! I liked the mysterious atmosphere.
Maybe it's not in the spirit of the game, but I would've liked some context or a resolution in the end what this dialog is about ^^ Kind of sounds like an ancient roman saga or something with these names.
Loved the psychedelic mood! Not sure if I managed to reach the end of the dialogue but the sfx ramp up makes the game feel so intense the more you progress. Nicely done!
Well that was weird with a great mood!
I had absolutely no idea what was going on but contrary to the other takes in this comment section I think that's a good thing - I am terrified of the events that occurred here and never wish to know more details. The aesthetic was incredible, the audio design was surprisingly pretty impressive given you made it in 48 hours, and the core mechanic is pretty unique
You're on to something! ...but, I'm not sure quite what yet. I did figure out how to get somewhat far through the dialog on my second run, and I like the variations in puzzles. I'm curious what the story was getting to, but I was also a little lost. Nice graphics, very intense mood from your sounds!
I'm not entirely sure what's going on here - as others have noted, the story is a bit confusing and ends so abruptly that it's hard to tell if you actually won or not - but the result is a very eerie, surreal experience, amplified by the droning background music. Definitely one of the more unique and memorable experiences I've had so far this game jam.
Loving the vibes of this game, was a bit confusing but I'd love to explore it more if I had more time.
