Ok first of all, if im not very clear in the feedback feel free to ask me in the comments. Aside from what everyone has already (bugs, music, etc) said, i found that the game has potential for like a mental health type of game as an idea. I feel the central mechanic of the panic attacks is a good idea but i would give it more interactivity with the game rather than it being a simple stun, maybe you could play like a minigame to make u snap out of it or maybe its like a debuff where you are slower and slower, or something i dunno. I felt that it wasnt very fun to just go away frm the enemies when you started getting it and then just returning imo. Also maybe you could tie it to the narrative better, like maybe you could make that voice that speaks to you in the middle of the game to cause you those panic attacks since it seemed like it wanted you to doubt yourself, i got those type of vibes from it. The visual presentation is really nice for a game jam and really nice that you added a story and everything. I feel that this game could have potential if you decide to continue with it. Really nice entry <3

i have a lot of references for ideas you could use, like for example the game Celeste i feel is a good game that also touches themes of mental health while also mixing platforming gameplay. Also i played a little game called Adventures with Anxierty that is short and simple and also might be worth checking. Also yeah i would love to try it, be sure to tell me on discord if u ever upload a new version or if u need ideas maybe, but no pressures!! good vibess
