All items with white srtoke someway affect at panic. Or add panic, or remove it.
Items that you can grab on your back let you move faster. It 2 types of items. 1) Give you constant boost when you hit "W". 2) you grab item and after some time it give you a boost.
Items with yellow glow slow the panic affect.
Try to follow music and search for some music artifacts.
I would suggest putting some instructions on the game's page itself. I was also confused as to what the objectives of the game were, and what the bar at the top meant.
For example, while I correctly assumed the arrows would control the character, I did not know that "W" was a button I could press. It's also generally confusing when a game has you start by clicking "Start" with the mouse, but then the gameplay itself is played with the keyboard. Just something to keep in mind :)
That said, I think the theme is well incorporated into the story/gameplay. I also really liked some of the art (seeing a shed or a billboard floating in space).
