Lol, this is so like my morning xD Very cool interpretation of the theme! Thanks, that was interesting. Great gameplay.

An interesting theme for the game, so true for me x) really enjoyed playing!

Gameplay: Monday morning. The idea is great! The controls feel a bit unresponsive at times—it’s hard to explain. It feels like I’m on rails and can’t get off them. Also, I really wanted to be able to tilt the camera upward.

The concept is great, the graphics are cute. It's a little unclear when the response will be after you press the buttons. It would also be nice to be able to rotate the camera at least slightly, since, for example, going down stairs is generally inconvenient, you constantly bump into obstacles you can't see. In any case, good job ;)

Interesting concept. But If you have delayed control the looking around should be also delayed right? Eitherway good entry :D

I get that we are the brain controlling the body in a robotic way but the movement was maybe the worst I've ever seen in a game lol. I had to come look up the controls after I couldn't move by pressing a key initially. The brain hud graphic was great and the concept I enjoyed. A little too simple of a mission though and crossing the road was just pure gambling with hoping that the cars won't hit. Maybe I'm complaining too much cause I did have fun completing the game, so good job anyways :)

what a scary place. win2026-04-25_114522.png the art was fantastic, I was amazed when I saw that I had a whole 3D world to explore. I love that the game only barely works, that's a sign you spent your time wisely ;-P

It's very difficult to control, and I'm not sure if that is intentional.

not sure if it was just me, but when I finally made it outside... the cars were driving backward and crashing all over. Looked like a typical Monday morning. :rofl:

If the controls were meant to be hard. SUCCESS. :grimacing: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Made for a challenge for sure. But also made it pretty hard to play. Maybe if it didn't slide? Often times, I would try to stop, then let up, and my character would drift.

I love how the brain seemed annoyed at you for moving at all. LOL. :laughing:

Very neat concept but I'm not sure it was executed quite right? There's a bit of a delay getting started but once you're moving it's completely fine. I thought the little brain guy very cute and the crashing cars were hilarious. I did not quite figure out where my job is though, pretty sure I went to each building but didn't find any prompts or anything. Thought it was the blue building diagonally from the apartment but I kinda just walked right into it and a car then drove into me. 10/10.

This is looking fun and i love this visual because we see a brain and the char we controls but the char controls itself is very slow and difficult, not sure if it was an idea.

I made a game based on the same "playing with lag" mechanic for Ludum Dare 36 (on the old site), but it was a really tortured interpretation of the theme. It didn't even occur to me this time that you could do this with this theme. I really like the idea!

I like the visual aesthetic, and the cars. I just wish I knew where work is, at least after I died three times. Give me a hint!
