How does you game fit the theme?
The hole game has some Stanley Parable Vibes. Something misterious is going on there. Don't want spoil anything here ;)

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Reused some Assets from earlier stuff. But they are selfmade. Used also some Unity Plugins

Super Meat Boy Vibes for sure. Hard, but satisfying once you get the hang of it! Music was great. Really awesome work.

Developer(+1)

Thx for playing. Glad you like it!

Submitted

Outstanding game, and an incredible achievement for a week's work. Very hard at first, but once I got a handle on the mechanics, it flowed -- which is a good balance.  Really liked the characters, art, fonts, and color palette.  Creative characters, puzzling/surprising moments.  I finished it and never quite caught the connection to the game theme, but a really well made game.

Developer

Thx for the feedback. May I ask if you finished it until the End Screen? I thought it fits the  theme very nicely.

However, thx for playing!

Submitted

I love this game! It was hard to reach the end but after killing hundreds of inocent clones I did. You should add death counter to show player how much pain they caused.

Developer

I really like the death counter idea. I will consider to add it after rating!

Thx for playing!

Submitted

i liked it a lot! it was pretty hard but i liked that and the secrets ;) art looks amazing and the controls reminded me of Super Meat Boy

Developer

Glad you like it! Super Meat Boy was diffinifly a inspiration for it!

Thx for playing!

Submitted

Quite a hard game, but great fun! Really liked the color palette and the sounds! Didn't get very far though to be honest but could just be me being bad at platformers as well :)

Developer

I got much feedback about the difficulty ;) Maybe i will decrease it a little bit.

However thx for trying!

I'm horrible at this but fantastic job! The movement felt very nice, I could see some people playing this for hours (again, not me though, I'm horrible at it).

Developer

Thx for playing!

Submitted

Super Meat Boy vibes incoming! At least for me..
I loved how the pole interacts with you, made me curious. But unfortunately I didn't get very far...
Sometimes it's hard to get a feeling of how hard a game should be when you're the one developing it.

I liked the graphics and the color palette, they made the game look quite polished!

Developer

Thx for the feedback and playing! I think I will decrease the difficulty after the rating period.

Submitted

I like the visuals and how the "Narrator" interacts a lot with you! but truth be told... I didn't get very far, the game was hard and I couldn't reach any checkpoints ( if there were any), I really wanted to find out what he was hinting at but sadly the difficulty didn't allow me.

good job anyway!

Developer

I think I will decrease the difficulty after the rating. If you wish, you could than try again. However thx for playing!

Submitted

I really loved everything I just think it might have been to hard for some people

Developer

yeah, it seems it is too hard for some people.

Thx for playing

Submitted

The physics of the player feel way to slippery and hard to control, it kind of reminds me of super meat boy. The ending was quite irritating after spending 15+ minutes making to the end one time but overall gave me a good laugh!

Developer

thx for playing!

The end of the level isn't the real ending. Things will be different on further runs. You spent 15 + min in my game, I am grateful for this and want ask you for more :)

Will make it more clear in future updates

Submitted

very fun game!

Submitted

Really nice game! Couldn’t make it far enough, but truth be told I’m not that good at precision platformers. Graphics is nice, sound is good as well, increasing volume close to in-game music players is a cool idea! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thx for playing it!

Submitted

this is an amazingly well done game. the gameplay is hard and punishing but all the more rewarding ifd you succeed. also the secrets are incredibly cool

Developer

I am glad you like it!

Submitted

I really enjoy the art and the gameplay of this game!

I'm pretty sure that the storyline would fit the theme, but I couldn't really get that far. The difficulty curve is quite high, so I couldnt really make it far.

Nevertheless, great game! I would like to see more of it!

Developer(+1)

it seem like many have a problem with the difficulty level. However thx for the feedback and playing!

Submitted

Sure, no problem!

Ive been playing for about 1-2 hours now, and I really enjoy it. It’s quite hard, tho I’m wanting to finish it. 

Meanwhile, I have played a lot of different submissions, and have noticed that I’ve been quite „harsh“ with it in my comment. 
Up until now, this is my favorite submission. I hope to see more of this in the future. Is there a way to keep up to date with the game?

Submitted

Everything is so cool. The sound effects is satisfying but the game is a bit too hard(for me) If there is a easier level it would be better. Great work anyway!

Developer

yeah, there are many people having struggles with the difficulty. Thx for the feedback and thx for playing :D

Submitted

This is amazing! But I dont see how this fits the theme.

Developer (1 edit)

Don't know how far you are played it. But not everything in the game is how it seems. I know it took a while to found out about the theme fitting stuff.


However thx for playing!

Submitted (1 edit)

When you said hardcore, I didn't think it is this hardcore 🤣 (maybe I'm just not good at platformer)

But it feels very satisfying and addictive after a while. Awesome game overall!

Developer

yeah! Maybe it is too hard. But it is important for the twist. The right balance is hard to get. Don't had options for play testing it

Thx for playing!

Submitted

Amazing Pixel art great game :D

Submitted

Really well executed! The controlls are great and the level is challenging but still possible.

Loved the guy with the eye that "cheers" you on and how little things change between runs.

I also love the secrets that are in the game. I played with the Pro Crontroller and couldn't figure out where or how I should input the secret code. 

Developer

Thx for playing!

There is one more secret, where you can input the code. Don't want to spoil on it. But it is obvious if you find it.

However thx for the feedback!

Developer (3 edits)

Any feedback is welcome. No matter how much it hurts me :D. 

Please be honest no matter how cruel it is. I will not take countermeasures and give you bad ratings. I promise. 

I need your expressions!
