I like the overall minimalist approach in design and controls.
It's a simple and fun little game—congrats!

Warm regards!

A nice simple game with incredibly narrative text at the beginning of each level, the controls are very suitable for this game, cool.

Thanks!

I found the controls to be a bit unintuitive at first but when I took a minute to recalibrate my brain the game got much easier.

I like the background music and the movement is very nice and unique, i like to play it!

Developer

Thank you!

Very cool concept and well executed overall, my only critical feedback would be that the background of the web being black got kind of annoying, since i ended up clicking outside of the game quite a few times

Developer

Thank you!

Good tip, I will change that after the jam and keep it in mind for the future.

I love everything about this game. The ambience is awesome, the minimalistic art direction is also pretty cool. Definetly a fan of the golf like gameplay, however i got the "ive been here before" level and it got pretty laggy near the end of it because of the amount of enemys so i couldnt beat it :( But this is definetly one of the best games in the jam, definetly underrated.

Developer

Thank you!

Yeah, I definitely struggled with the performance. I’m working on some tweaks to improve it after the jam.
