I knew there had to be lots of great game ideas for depths given it's final selection. I just wasn't thinking of them. Great idea, nice execution.

Wow, this game deserves to be much more well-known! I love the concept, and above all, I never imagined it would challenge the limits of my 3D spatial awareness. Despite its simple premise, it hides a really cool mechanic where the better your 3D vision, the more points you can score, and it's well executed. In many 3D platformers, jumping can be frustrating if there’s no shadow beneath the character to show where they'll land, but this game avoids that issue by belonging to a different genre. Here, you have to rely on your spatial understanding to judge the distance between the character in 2D and the target. Sure, the game could use some polish in terms of animations, music, and other details, but overall, it’s a simple yet genuinely interesting idea. Great game!
