Great game, nice idea and unique design.

The visuals were not that good, but the SFX on the other side was great.

First thing I thought was how cool the menu animation was. The vibe for the game is on point and the translator is a great mechanic. I found it a bit difficult because enemies can blend into the background a bit.

FWIW I played on chrome for mac and it worked great!

Surreal might be the best word I can use to describe this game. The translator system is engaging as well. Great concept but the movement controls are a little bit too floaty for me.

I wasn't able to get this to run in browser! Would like to give it a try if you upload a downloadable build!

I don't have a mac export, but i did try reuploading using a different version of godot. I'd be curious to know if that's working for you!

It works now! Really enjoyed this trippy little experience, especially the music! The second level destroyed me lol but this definitely has potential with a little polishing!
