How does your game fit the theme?
The player character has a controller in his hands. That controller is out of control by making inputs out of your control. There are also other controllers with weird inputs!

While the controls are frustrating, you have an interesting idea here and I really enjoyed playing it! I wasn't able to beat it (yet), but I'm definitely going to take a run at it a couple more times. Good job!
This is a really interesting take on the theme. I also loved the unique visual choice here. Well done!
It's really frustrating to control, but I guess that's by design. A plus was definitely that you included close-by respawn points, it would have been even more frustrating to have to repeat the whole course every time haha
Thanks for the feedback!
Wow this game was clever! I really had fun with it, fits the theme really well and when it threw the controller on the floor I thought that was really nice! Great job! :D
Thanks!
Hi, played your game. I think it fits the theme perfectly. Just wish I was a bit better with it. I love the ambience and the presentation. A stellar effort for a 48 hour game!
You can check my review here:
Thanks for playing the game and reviewing it! It's understandable that the game is tough to understand. I can include a tutorial or make it a bit easier to understand in a later version after the jam.
I really like the art, but the controls were pretty frustrating. Reading through some of your other comments, I think more player feedback on what is actually happening when the character takes over control for themself is a great idea to make it feel less out-of-the-blue and more like something where the player just needs to hop back on the reigns. Overall, good job!
Thanks! That makes sense, I will look into it.
This game brilliantly frustrated me with a lack of control :) I would have liked a bit more feedback on what was going wrong and how I often didn't figure that out until it was too late. I love the character and animations and the sound of him frustrated jiggling the controller was perfectly in line with my reactions.
Thanks! I wanted to give the experience of getting frustrated with your controller as the player character also has a history of getting frustrated with game controllers. I suppose overdid it. I will provide more feedback somehow in a later version!
Hard to say how much was overdone, and how much was playing through so many games with a theme of out of control. ;) I would love to see how you further develop the concept though.
that's a pretty nice game! a controller inception hahaha! a bit too difficult for me but overall very good job!
Nice idea! A bit too difficult, but like Danial said it fits definitely to the theme!
Keep up the good work
Frustrating gameplay, which is relevant to the theme, definitely a 5/5 for the originality. Awesome!
Thanks!
