The game is really fun, and fits the theme really well. My only complaint is that it isn't telegraphed where the purple comes from, so I got stuck in corners a lot, without any way of preparing for it.

I liked the main "out of control" aspect of the game, maybe it would be cool if each pellet collected slows your heartbeat slightly?

I feel like this is a really neat idea held back by a couple of things.

The terrain doesn't really seem to generate in a way conducive to the game's progression. There were a few times that a green square was in a little room on its own that was totally unreachable as far as I could tell.

I think as well that by the time you can see the purple and which direction it's moving, it's often impossible to navigate the maze in a way that lets you avoid it.

The Out of Control mechanic itself was AWESOME. I really liked the exact amount of control you had over your character and feeling the heartbeat speed up was super cool. Maybe a neat idea would be if when you grabbed a green square it actually deflected the purple back in the opposite direction, so you could riskily grab a green just in time to save you from the purple that's about to overcome it?

Very interesting game idea. Only thing I didn't like at all was the scenery. I think it's too random. But overall I really liked it

This was really challenging and a fantastic idea using a heartbeat to change the speed. Well done!

Cool idea with nice presentation, especially the menus. I can't seem to understand the pattern behind the purple walls though

The purple walls just move in a random direction for a random amount of time before changing directions.
