Hi, cool kid here, so i played the game and now i'm gonna be commenting about it. Lets start of by saying the game splash screen looks weird, its all blurry and stuff. Now, lets get to the actual game. Like pretty much everyone's said already and im sure your tired of hearing this but, i couldn't get past the first level. There are multiple levels right? Anyway.. this game has got one of the best art i've seen so far, im impressed. But considering most people will quit after 10 seconds cuz the game is too damn hard, no more content will be revealed and all your extra hard work will be lost. The music feels nice, but the game itself doesn't fit the jam theme. From what i've gathered some guy who looks like you, i hope its not u lul, kidnapped a kid for some reason to force him to complete your challenge.. not that original or innovative. A tutorial or how to play menu would have been nice. I also recommend gradually increasing level difficulty, otherwise it's like forcing a baby to run a marathon. Besides that the game has an amazing, but in its current state its not good. Kudos, good job, hope you keep this in mind for next time.

thanks you so much for your honest review:
The game is very hard, and you have right about the point to make maiby an example level were the player get some instructions.
About the game theme. If you had past the first room you would have said something else. because the games about to escape from these rooms, but how you escape from them doesnt make sense. I dont want to spoiler you the game, but if you want to have a second look at it. Check out the left wall very well of the first room.
About the story. I hadnt much time to create the reason why you in these rooms. I hadnt really a idea but I dont wanted that the player didnt know whats going on, so yeah.
That with the splash screen, I dont really know what happend but I didnt implement one so, what the fisch.
After the jam I will update the game. And it will be not really esier but you will at least know how to play and what to do. Feel free to check it out then lol.
Thanks again for you review :D
The game could turn out to be a banger, good luck. And as for the theme thing i said.. if i got you right your telling me that the game is lying to me on how to escape the rooms? I didn't really see the game telling me anything except the guy in the dark. But ill rerate it. And your welcome! Keep up the good work! :)

I couldn't get past the room in the beginning although the overall feel of the game is really amazing.
