Really overdone concept but still confusing and fun! Presentation is good as well!

I thought that the pacing was going to be a problem but when you introduced the massive spike wall that chases you down the pacing definitely got a lot better. This is a fun concept and I enjoyed getting myself into problem, like trying to jump over a gap but having my control scheme change mid jump, causing me to plummet down. Great job! I had a lot of fun playing it.
I think the sudden change of controls would've been nicer if every time there was a popping up text/image that signals about the need to look at what are the controls now. Also, I think adding more time before the change will be good, because it was way too short for playing normally.
But apart from that, the game was fun and well done for 48 hours. Instructions were clear and intuitive. With some polish, the game can become even better, but it's good overall!
I finished it and it's fun. But specially in last level I was mostly waiting for an easy input map to play with.
I enjoyed it. Well done :)
A bit frustrating, but I guess that was the design goal — you constantly feel out of control! Nice idea & implementation.
Decided to try doing a mad dash. Immediately fell of a cliff. Had a good laugh. Good job!
loved the graphics and music! the concept is well executed but a but frustrating
This game matches the theme really well. It's interesting to see how difficult simple tasks can become in a game like this!
What an absolute brain bender. I almost feel bad for quitting over the chase level. it was just too steep of a curve for me after awkwardly managing my way through platforming. I think that challenge would have come through even if it only featured simple platforming. Overall, a pretty solid experience, other have done this concept, but I think you made it work well.
I think having an austronaut as a characeter worked well. They are no stranger to dealing unusual challenges and circumstances by staying calm and think their way through.
I love the game! You nailed the concept I see a lot of potential in this one actually! :)
Fun and very challenging. the five second interval is very short whitch makes for a frantic gameplay!
This is very fun! it is very similar to the game i made, which made it all the more enjoyable
Oh my god, and i thought my game was hard:D
Jokes a side i liked it! Graphics are nice, and this ambient, man... Good job on directing side of things.
