I only figured out right at the end that there was an implied metaphor in the game. It took me a moment, but that was very clever. Good job overall!

Thank you! I tried to keep it subtle so that the reveal was more impactful and I'm glad it worked on some extent! Thank you for playing!

It's a good game! the movement get's very strange when moving along walls, sometimes I move backwards, sometimes I get completely stuck and have to reset the game. Overall great work!

Developer

Thank you! Sorry about the movement, I understand that it's not really that great. It's meant to bounce back the player if they even touch the wall, but apparently, something about what I inputted didn't understand that was what I wanted 😒So sorry that it caused you to need to restart! That must have been a pain.

Great idea and nice game, but gameplay wise that movement was a killer!

3 different endings is a good idea to keep players engaged! good work

Developer

Thank you! I understand that the movement aspect was definitely not quite perfect (I can't for the life of me figure out what I did wrong with the code) but I'm glad you enjoyed the other aspects of the game! For the endings, I actually didn't plan the split to happen, it just felt more... right that the only choices you can really make are meaningful ones, but it's great to hear that you think it's engaging!

Others already pointed out about the movement, but 3 endings is fun!

Developer

Thank you! I've tried everything I could to fix the movement (and been holding hope that one last trick up my sleeve will finally deal with it) but I'm glad that at least the endings were fun to play!

Hey I wanted to say. The ended was a surprise I was expecting a jump scare. So the emotional end. Was a pleasant surprise. 

Developer

*Embarrassed laugh* Thank you so much. I probably  made the game a bit too creepy if you were expecting a jump scare, but I'm glad the actual result was worth it!
