What an interesting concept! I really like that idea! Too bad there are some bugs that can mess up your runs. Like the others, my guy fell through the line when in a steep hill and I could select more than one box. I also noticed that as the game went on longer and longer, I felt like it started to get slower and slower (in terms of performances.) Maybe that's a potential issue for the rigid body of the character?

Apart from that, you should try to polish it and add some sounds! Congrats on submitting this great concept of an entry less than 3 minutes before the deadline!

If you've got some spare time, come try and rate mine! It has 7 different endings and a hilarious narrator (that actually speaks!) Worth checking out!

The game idea is super cool, and visuals is great. The game is a bit buggy, and for me the man did fall through the line. Overall an okay jam game.

This is a very creative game!

The gameplay is unlike anything I've played before. I love the way you're writing your own story in this interactive and distinct way. It's really fun to try to find the most credible answer as quick as possible, and to see the funny outcomes for any ridiculous answer you accidentally pick. The dialogue is really entertaining. It's a very simple game, but really really interesting.

You probably know these problems exist, but I'll put them out anyway. Sometimes the player can't go up steep climbs quick enough, so it gets stuck or it teleports. And sometimes, teleporting doesn't solve the problem, for the player falls into the nothing, and you're left with no avatar to pick your choices, making the game just go endlessly to the right with no more dialogue. The second problem is that it's possible to pick more than one choice if you go up while you're in contact with the black rectangles. The lore continues, but it looks weird that it's possible.

Either way, it's a really great game for a couple days. The gameplay is simple yet really fun, and it's clearly a 5/5 in Innovation. Great job!
