It's a bit weird but in a good way. There were a few little things like the mouse cursor being on screen or the bedsheet texture that destroyed the flow of the game a bit. The sudden change from 3D to 2D was unexpected and could have been done better. The soundtrack was fitting tho.

The level rotation was an interesting mechanic and the atmosphere of the game was good. There was part of the level where there where a few "leaps of faith" that where really frustrating to mess up, so that part of the level design could be done without.

Good work!

Thank you for playing

We will surely consider your feedback for the future

Real nice, the design follows a theme and does it very good.

The level design (second one) is great too, almost always new where to go and when I failed and looked back, saw a big arrow pointing towards somewhere else, however, it'd be nice if it had checkpoints, the added difficulty of the level rotating paired with precise movements is great, but feels too punishing to have to go over the whole game again, where it said Fail! I just jumped, thinking the way to get out of there was by literally failing, but nope, it got me all the way back and I felt my sanity dwindle.

Its a great idea and the combination of 3D and 2D is not seen that often, wish I could've gone further and completed it :(

Thank you for playing and giving your feedback

Yeah we thought about adding checkpoints but we ran out of time. If we are making a version of the game post jam, we will be sure to include that.

Actually the game is kinda meant to make people rage and

(You did reach the end...:)

I played your game, I had fun, but can you explain what the game is about?

Developer(+1)

The game is basically about a person losing control and kinda having hallucinations about falling down which is the basis of the platformer ie not to fall down:)

Thank you for playing the game.

Wow, very interesting submission. The level's rotation made it so much better and the design was pretty messy and weird, but it makes sense since you are on the edge of a mental breakdown and you gradually lose any control you have. Well done!

Developer

Thank you for playing and yeah you interpreted our theme correctly;)

This was really weird and innovative. I like how the level rotates, really made me feel out of control. :)
