Great concept, extremely hardcore from the get-go but overall a very fun twist to platformers. Not gonna lie I didn't pay attention to wall climb in he initial tutorial and felt a little bit smart for cheating some spots thinking its a glitch but that was intended :D

Signal charge could drain a bit slower, it definitely doesn't give room for any error.

Dont really get the concept of climbing and movement overall, but in general seems like fun one!

Love the concept and the effects, very strong idea. The difficulty ladder might need some tweaking though. It is very hard right at the beginning. Enjoyable nonetheless!

I really like the visual effects of the signal depleting, but it feels very fast. I only played the first few levels, but it felt like a lot of the time I had to memorize where objects were and the cycles.

Probably the hardest LD59 game, very punishing but rewarding. The signal mechanic makes otherwise simple jumps a lot harder which forces you to play fast to not deplete the signal. The controls are sharp and responsive and the level design makes great use of the hallucinations effect. Overall a really good hardcore platformer.

this looks cool, but i kinda feel sick while playing as everything becomes a fever dream. Maybe you could just make visual glitches or darken the picture. I saw objects disapearing and reapearing and that already looks neat. The controls are a bit wacky and it is a bit hard to jump on up button, but this game deffinetly have some special charm in it (all would be fine, but I just can't play it more than 15 minutes before I need a break maybe that's a me problem but I just don't feel very good😞)

@crimsontrouper thanks for your feedback. If we talk about the controls, you can customise them in options tab in main menu and it is saved in appdata.

@online-play Oh, thanks! They actually got better. (not like this even was a real problem to begin with, just small thingy...)

Great idea, well done

I'm surprised there are key bindings here.

Extremely cool idea but also extremely high difficulty at the beginning. I tried around for ten minutes but then quit because I was frustrated. Love the overall mechanics and the effect of platforms disappearing!

Good idea and nice mechanic. Also nice sound. But the woblines could be less intence, as for my liking.

That was brutal. I didn't get very far. I like the concept, but maybe the signal degradation could go a bit slower? It might just be me, I'm terrible at platformers.
