The art is very impressive and the concept of keeping your emotional state together fits the theme in a very unique way. The sound design was also nice and subtle. Like others, found hopping between the islands inconsistent. Overall, a very nice unique game that fits the theme well. Good job.

very nice idea and art, but the enemies blend with the heads and the world, and I only understood the game after losing the first round, also you could have added a score system, nice game though.
also it a bit frustrating trying to jump from a face to another.
art is mad in a good way. could move between two heads but couldnt really do anything else
First i must say the art is amazing :o The abstract art fits the games theme very well. The character looks adorable :D. I love when people make games like this.
The only thing i didnt like is the contrast between enemies and the background. The eyes blend to well some times and i cant see them :/ Other than that maybe a better tutorial can also make the game easier to understand.
Overall i enjoyed this one great job :D
Yeah, the instructions could be clearer and the music could have been mixed a bit better. I still really love the concept and I think the abstract nature of it is great.
I like the abstract atmosphere of the environment. The mechanics are simple and easy to learn. The setting is also fitting to not just the theme, but the mental state of pretty much everyone participating in the jam. The weird background voice is also an interesting addition.
I have a bit of a problem trying to see the enemies since they can sometimes blend into the environment. Some sound effects/particles when they spawn might also be a good addition. I think that the movement between the head can be made smoother. I feel like if the player is touching the edge of the head, it should be in range to move to the neighboring head.
Great job on the jam!
Thank you! I agree the color palette is a bit too restricted, maybe playing with wider range or a flashing shader or effect like you say would help them feel more threatening. Definitely agree on the movement: we learned why 3d perspective games use 3d perspective assets and not sprites for everything, collisions were a pain to get right.
Thanks for all your feedback!
Weirdly interesting game.
As Ocean commented, the take on the theme was a really good one, while the atmosphere is well made and , personally, I liked the aesthetic visuals.
It's a bit lacking gameplay wise tho. There's not a whole lot of "decisions" to be done, you just move from emotion to emotion clearing the eyes and restoring your states. But don't take it too harshly, It doesn't seem to be one of the focus of the game.
Good job!
A unique take on the theme, the visuals, and the sounds are great! I had a difficult time with the controls occasionally though.
The graphics style and the sounds and everything are just phenomenal. I like the look, but the gameplay is a bit lacking. But for what it is, it's pretty nice.
