I chose the wrong download and my computer pulled out a gun and shot my head off :(

Pros: * Gameplay was super fast-paced, and felt consistently challenging. I'd call this the most engaging game that I've played so far on the site. * Visuals were very tidy, which benefitted the arcade-style aesthetic.

Cons: * I think the game could've used some sound; whether a blip to indicate you've been hit, or similar. * Red orb positions don't reset on death, which means that you can get spawnkilled.

Bugs: * Box collision is sometimes janky and can fly across the screen if approached from the wrong angle. * Round 10 doesn't seem to be beatable; door will open, but then it can't be walked through. * Walking up against walls will often lock the player's movement. * Memory puzzles were already ordered most of the time, and required you to move a tile back and forth to solve them.

Overall really fun and fast-paced; gave me serious "World's Hardest Game" vibes.

I was wondering "why do i have lives if this is a puzzle game?" and then it began. Fun game, but as mentioned you get telefragged by the bullets if you lose a life.

Fun little game! I love the simple yet effective expectation subversions you've put in there. The game is a bit too punishing though.

Wonderful job! It is amazingly difficult and rewarding to build your first game. It is always beautiful to see what everyone makes.

I didn't make it to the ending yet. This game is not easy. The gameplay style is similar to Undertale. From what I have observed, it does not have any bugs yet. Good implementation of the theme. Perhaps some SFX would mix very well with this game. Great job. Keep it up.

This game is super addicting, despite the relatively straightforward mechanics. I had an infuriatingly great time trying to get through the whole gauntlet, before giving up in the maze room where the door doesn't open for like 30 seconds. As with the other commenters, I also experienced the bullets spawn killing, and occasionally multiplying when I died, which was frustrating. I think with a little more polish this game could be really really fun. Nice job!

Has some real promise this game, really enjoyed the game mechanics and the overall idea of the game. Nice amount of difficulty which I loved, controls pretty well. Can be a bit glitchy with collisions but other than little nick pick (it is a jam game after all) a really solid effort. Great work! ^-^

Simple yet effective game!

I would like the controls no be specified in the game or the submission, but they were pretty straighforward anyway

The issue with getting hit is that sometimes, after respawning, you automatically get hit again, resulting in losing all three lives with only one hit. Adding a respawn immunity could be a great way to avoid this.
