Had fun playing this one! It took me a while to figure out the "just stand still" strategy and the upside down level was a real challenge. It also took me a few tries to figure out the final boss fight. Overall, it was a fun game.

I enjoyed what I did play of the game but just feel confused most of the time. I can’t quite grasp the mechanics.

So often in order to remove the confidence enemies on a ledge it’s necessary to take damage from them beforehand. Then it’s a mad dash to the next section hoping the spikes don’t pop up but as soon as I hear them, stop dead in my tracks or risk dying again.

Again, I did enjoy what I was able to play and even came back to the game to try again (and I’m sure I’ll come back to try it once more too.) So the movement mechanics are good. :)

Nice game, and I liked how the mechanics were interwoven with the theme.

I must admit I didn’t really “get” how the spikes were working (and why I was dying so much!) until I read some of your replies here; so I think the tutorial could have made that clearer.

But once I did I enjoyed the challenge of getting to the end :)

Excellent submission to the jam! I like how responsive the player feels and the way you "mirror" the physical elements in the game with the metaphor of self confidence and determination.  The visuals also do a good job of matching the uncomfortable vibe that can accompany self doubt. Nice work.

Nice  visuals and sounds,  just remind me those old games I played  in my childhood.

This is a pretty cute game! I gotta admit, I really enjoy the pep talk from the narrator. The music is charming and everything works from a technical level.

Okay, so while this game was fun, I noticed some areas it could improve.  managed to get to the key level before stoping, so I'll only adress what I seen up to that.

One minor thing I noticed is that the game leans a little hard on show and tell. I'm being told how the character is feeling, but the character themself doesn't react in any meaniful way. I know you did try, like with those mirrors, but at the end of the day, I, the player, shot those mirrors to proceed, not becuase I was in the character's shoes. If I was allowed to jump over the mirror, I would. Basically, there could some better ways to show what the character are feeling through their actions becides from telling the player what they are feeling and forcing the player to do things to proceed. Though that said, the elements worked for what it is, and they do ive the game some charm. So at the end of the day, this point is really monor. I did a great job for the time you had!

That said, the gun play could use work. This game seems to be more of a platformer then a shooter, and becides from plot items like the mirror, I don't know what purpose the shooting serve becides from thinly representing the character's destructive tendacies. Oh, and the rain drops that come down and damage you, sometimes they are random, and they would some times kill me at no fault of my own. I thought the shooting would get rid of them, but nah. That could use some work. Though it mainly becomes a problem in the doors level, where you started setting the check points back. On a side note, when you die when your getting the second key, you reset the entire level, while the other check points spawn you where you died. I'm not sure if that was intentional or a oversight. I'm gonna asume it's a oversight since the nariator doesn't say anything about it.

Overall, good game!  Thank you for sharing!

Super snappy and responsive controls, loved the feel of the player, one of the best movement scripts I saw the whole jam, until now.

Cool story and immersive Gameplay.

Good Job :)
