I'm such a big fan of all these games that explore mental states ! This is awesome I love your art style and music, I love the interstitials and the therapists commentary during gameplay is awesome ! I almost wish that there were voice or because those quips and statements as background audio would be so cool .
Great work , great job of exploring the theme, the art style is super cute too !
This was a fun adventure , I love the textboxes, and the uses of them for both interactive purposes, just general background dialog, and some of the ambient cues and whatnot. I love the music and world design too it encourages exploration. Great work !
This was a lot of fun ! I love the music tracks and the visuals , I actually really like your steering / control mechanism I just wish it was better explained because I think there's some cool nuances to it that are hard to grasp through trial and error , I was able to destroy 4 /5 enemies on my 3rd playthrough and I dig it . I feel like you were exploring that classic CLOP / QWOP/ Octodad unreliable wobbly physics- centric controls genre and I enjoyed it from that perspective !
Wow at first I was captured by the games structure, I always wondered if you made a minigame compilation and created a story arc how could it work and I think you managed to find it , super impressive. I also love the gradual unfolding storytelling , constant sense of confusion and foreboding, and the finish . Awesome sound effects , great presentation across the board.
This is my favorite Ludum Dare game so far you should be super proud of what you made in such short time.
Your game is so gorgeous I love the way you drew all of your art it's even on your icon !!!! . I love the music and the visual style I feel like this would almost work as a traditional short story book . I disturbed the teacups... my mistake . Awesome game I love it !
This is great It reminds me of some of the old NewGrounds, Miniclip, and flash games I grew up on mixed wit the stylings of older Gameboy games !
Great music and overall audio , You nailed the simple to pick up hard to master vibe , and what an awesome way to incorporate the theme to make for a core game mechanic focused on procedural content !
Excellent work !
I love that you explored going "deeper and deeper " into a mental state within your game as well . I love the concept, I love the battle music, I love the art style, I'm a fan of twin stick shooters ad i'd put this in that category , I wish the shooting was just a bit faster i feel like I did more dodging than shooting ( which maybe is the point ?!) . Also that loudspeaker voiceover is excellent !
I love the way the "Illuminate" powers sound melds with the rock background . The art style is great. I love your use of lighting here too it reminds me of Gandal in LOTR! lol . Not bad !
I had a blast with this one the audio design , theme , narrative thread all were great and all wrapped around a delicious rhythm game center . Excellent work you pulled together a lot of things in a little time !
