I like the connection mechanic in this game, as well as the enemies. There definitely could have been more direction though. Also, what exactly is the spacebar supposed to do? It seems to let you dash through walls, but only a limited number of times. This means you can get yourself stuck in the center if you dash back in.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely try to do a better job with gameplay clarity and properly directing the player in the future.
Yes, the function of the spacebar is to let you "dash" to get away from the monsters. It also lets you move through walls to make it easier to get behind cover.
Each time you collect a bunny in the overworld, it follows you around. Dashing expends one of the bunnies, so your remaining dashes are measured by how many bunnies are following you.
As for getting yourself stuck in the starting area by using your last dash to get back in, I, uh... didn't think of that. It seems super obvious now that you've pointed it out. Whoops!
