How does your game fit the theme?
Two ways: 1) Since the controls also controls themselves, the player needs to constantly keep track of where the controls is, otherwise they would be literally "out of control", 2) Moving too close to the edge can temporarily remove the ability to walk in a certain direction because the control keys are out of bound, so you will be out of control temporary

A pretty neat concept for a game! A nice way of shaking up the controls and utilising almost the entire QWERTY keyboard. The simplistic art works in this game's favour, and liked trying to follow the diagrams at the start - the lack of words sold the minimalism vibe. Nice work!
Also, here's a bad fan art (moving around the keyboard felt like a little dance):
Thanks for the art
wow this is incredibly trippy. never seen anything like it. And I sure do feel like I 'run out of controls' sometimes.

Great idea and concept! Good job!
Very creative!
Pretty neat concept. It's a little weird that the keys on a tradition keyboard aren't "square" with each other so knowing which way the controls have moved is weird, but all in all, this was a good game. Good job.
Awesome little concept that makes good use of the theme, the puzzles were fun and the controls shifting like that was cool!
It took me a while to get to it, but this is a very interesting and original concept! Good job boys
really smart concept and your execution is perfect. I lost interest by the 6th level so maybe work on keeping it interesting but I really enjoyed the beginning levels. Great work!
Yea I feel like I should have added more features near the end there, thanks for playing!
This wrinkled my brain, but it was a fantastic use of the theme and an altogether genius use of the player's keyboard, my hand was moving around it from side to side constantly! Love it
F****ing genius, this is an amazing mechanic, and with your great level design, you just created a beautiful masterpiece, top 20 for sure (it's ok to have the layout of the keys in use hidden, it's make you be on your toes with every singles key press and plan ahead)
Epic game!
Wow, I'm really impressed by the idea behind this game! What a cool little concept for a jam game. You literally had me going all over my keyboard. To be honest I didn't undestand the diagrams whatsoever, but playing the tutorial once solved all of that. There was a level I got stuck on however, and that was because I ended up near my spacebar, with no way to go left, no idea if that's my fault, but I don't think I had any choice in that level, so maybe I just have a different keyboard layout? One thing that kind of confused me was going down from the number keys, because I don't have a straight keyboard (and I think most people don't?), but I guess I was supposed to use the diagram, and I forgot. Anyway, a super cool little game, very nice job on building this in 48 hours!
Thanks for the feedback, and that part was supposed to be part of the puzzle itself :), I'll give you a hint though, wall-hugging allows you to move your keybinds but not the character
Ohh right, that makes sense, so you gotta go right a few times and THEN down, so you can use the keys next to the spacebar. Clever :)
This is brilliant! Amazing idea and good level design!
This is such a wonderful game with such a great take on the out of control theme. The minimalist style works perfectly for this type of game and the puzzles are designed really well. Really amazing work.
Wow... Just Wow... What masterpiece it have playied...
One tip though: add a button to restart the level (since "R" isn'r really an option... "Shift"? "Control"? maybe even "Alt" if your crazy enough...) and, if there isn't already (i didn't test it so i dunno), let the player pause and/or go to the menù with "Esc"
Edit: Ok, another crazy idea, if your going to add an "in-game menù" like i suggested above, you could let the player navigate the menù with the same controls as those in the game... (Ok, maybe this is a little too crazy... 😅)
Um, there's a restart button on the left bottom corner every level haha...
Ah... Right.... Didin't see it... Thanks... (Sorry) 😅
Then, my comment was totally useless... 🤣🤣🤣
No problem, I still appreciate the feedback though
How does a human mind come up with that, haha? Incredible idea, my mind exploded.
Interesting idea but I found it really difficult to understand the controls, some sort of indication in game as to what control setup you are on would probably help, even if it only appeared for a second or two. I found myself going back to read the controls on a seperate page which was more frustrating than fun.
Certainly matches the out of control theme though.
Now that I'm typing normally, I'm moving my hand as if I'm playing. This game will make me unlearn how to type.
Super clever game. Absolutely obscure, but in a good way. The only thing i can think of is to make the ball actually move rather than have it teleport to the next grid. Please check out my game too, we met in iaknihs's stream.
This is an incredibly clever game!
