Damn! What a masterpiece. This game totally blew me away. The ambiance, the atmosphere, the smart use of 2d lights, the progressive music that builds when the game is about to end, the beautiful relation to the theme, the amazing sound design, the list just goes on and on. Minor details like nerves popping of the old brain's eyes while the young brain's eyes being clean were just the icing on the cake. This was a near-perfect entry and hands down the best game I've tried so far from the jam :)
However here a few minor suggestions that I have:

1. I got stuck at a few places and had to restart the entire game, wish there were checkpoints and a restart button.
2. The old brain's mouth was not animated as the younger one (Ik this is too much but I'm a sucker for these fine details XD) as they were speaking.
3. W for jump rather than space would have made life easier.
4. Need more gameplay pls XP

This game is an experience, a reflection and an introspection.

Game jams are awesome, you get to see the results of the brainstorming of thousands of team and all the interpretations of the theme. I like yours a lot.

To me, this game is to be taken as it is, no more, no less. A quick reflection of your feelings, the way you use them without thinking and how they are well working together.

However, I cannot leave my comment without adding my part haha:

- There are collisions issues, making possible to go "out of bonds". Well I put it between "" because it looks like you realized it and cap your whole world so you could not go too far anyway ;)

- The dialogue have a weird pace, sometimes I click and it goes to the next line, sometimes there is a delay... And you can skip some dialogue, others block you... well I don't say it is a bug, it was just weird to me.

- If I find your little theosophical journey quite pleasing, I would have loved to see more effect on the "all senses are stronger together" because they allow to make things you could not without it, or they open a whole new dimension, but also play on the fact that with less senses, those senses are often stronger by themselves... I don't know if I am clear here. My point is to make it like in our world, where blind people often have better nose and ears, etc...

But anyway, nicely done !!

That was an incredibly surreal experience. I really enjoyed the visual storytelling. You start off as a pair of feet, and as you regain your senses the world slowly reveals more of itself to you. I was actually kind of surprised when the other eye-thing started talking, as I expected it to be a fully visual story, but I liked the dialogue between the two.

I think it'd be really cool if you added some ominous sound effects once you get your ears, like the occasional low growl or a drum echo. I did get a horror vibe from all the shadowy graphics, and I was expecting some sort of dark storyline, like the player slowly realizing the world is dreary and lonely as he collects his senses. However, the graphics at the end though were really well done, and the bright and cheerful atmosphere contrasted really nicely with the beginning of the game. I think the story ended a little too abruptly though - you get a brain, you meet a friend, and all is suddenly well. I'd definitely like to see an extension of some sort for the story.

Overall, one of the most unique games I've played in this jam, and I'm very glad I got to experience it. Great job on the story, and I loved the atmosphere too.

This was a special experience, great. The game made evoked in me the feeling of unease and lurking danger. I I think the very fitting sound and light effects in the dark were the reason for it. I loved the surreal lonely feet and then the eye. First I did not notice that the feet collected the eye, which is strangely cool. The controls felt a bit fuzzy, I tried keyboard and mouse and a mix of controller and mouse, as I was not able to control the light with the game controller. I know that this is only because of this being a quick game jam game.

If you are able to package the game's feeling and style into a more polished game, I think this could become a special game!

it's amazing! At first, I was attracted to the original visuals. After a while, it turned out that the way the sound effects were played was well-crafted. Actually, I've played "Sacrifices" that you made before, but both have great stories. I'm looking forward to your next work.

Amazing game. Really good idea. Great art and music.

I love story driven games and this is one of the few ones I have found in the jam.

Wish there was a little bit more gameplay mechanics that explored each of the senses and maybe made them work together.

The game feels very surreal, the character looks uncanny, but in a fun way. After meeting the brain i did get stuck. I jumped against the wall on the left and it threw me over the wall thus getting stuck out of bounds above the playable areas.

Overall experience was interesting, I would have loved a bit more ambient noises to draw me just a little bit more into the surreal world I am experiencing.

great work.

The philosophical aspects of the game, in my opinion, are well constructed. There are some hot fixes that the game could have and make it a better experience. For example, check the jumping animation, it cancels all sense of momentum in mid air; you could add more step sounds and randomize them, and maybe add a little bit of content before the final encounter. Overall a good game, it just needs improvement.

I like the way this game is communicating with the player. It doesn't just deliver a ready message and illustrates it with gameplay and presentation. It makes the player ask questions himself. It's like saying: "Look, there is something here. I don't understand it, but it fascinates me, we have to pay attention to it!"

I can't stop thinking about that poor guy, who did his best to help us and now is forever waiting for us to return. Which is never going to happen, I guess.

The best game I've played so far! I like the feeling of the game, the shadow and the sound. I think it needs some hint to let players know they can use the mouse lol. I didn't know that until I meet the brain and don't know what to do next, so I tried to click mouse and hey I can rotate the light?

I think currently the stronger part is not that clear. I mean I finished it even without rotating the light or see any effect of nose and mouse(I see there is smelling smoke but I don't think I've actually used it to guide me. ), and I think I can hear music and foot step before I get my ear. Maybe an area that is a maze and you have to use nose to figure out the way out, or you have to talk to a character to unlock a door.

I hope there isn't much gameplay after the brain. I accidentally tapped ESC twice while it is talking to the flower and it quit the game... I would suggest a keyboard+mouse way to quit the game, especially there is no save system in-game...

But all in all I REALLY love this game! I'd love to see more game like this in the future and if this is going to be a real game I'll definitely play it!

Why so few rates!!! I'll post something for you in the community hope that would let more people see this masterpiece!

The game looks not bad, because of the lighting I guess. It would be nice if there are more guides in the game, I can't find the way after collecting nose.

Overall, nice game.

Nice idea, I stuck on first level though
