This is such a sick concept! You just need a lot more work to make it good! Things that could help are coloured tekst for the characters (even voice acting?), a clearer indicator (like a sound), for when you have to click. Also the tekst is so slow, like I'm a slow reader and got frustrated. I see people complaining about the parkour, but I thought the movement was fine and not that difficult.
This is a concept you could keep exploring though :) I haven't seen anything like this before!

- You've got a really clever idea here: some tips to clean it up. Would like to see a better indication of when i should be flipping levers, maybe auditory queues and such on top of the ! marks. My first time through the timing on completing each section to flip the switch in time with the show was a bit tight, which can happen when you're playtesting a lot and get very good at your own obstacles. I like the unique concept of both watching a show and keeping it rolling below by doing platforming challenges. Shadows is somewhat present, but alchemy is pretty much absent in my time with the game, so a weak theme score from me.
Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?
Yes!
Seriously... did you include your Game Design Document?
Yes!
Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes
Tell us about your game!
Ok! So, I will tell you that you need to keep moving forward. Otherwise, you'll probably lose a bunch.
Keep momentum! It helps you clear the hard obstacles.
wasd to move, hold jump (W or Space) to jump higher!
This was an experimental idea that I decided on because it would teach me to use Untiy's timeline feature pretty well.
I've also never made an effort of adding art to a game, so I drew everything myself and am pretty proud of that.
Lastly, please give me feedback! Is this a weird game that scratches an itch, or is it just weird...
Thanks a lot for looking at my game, I'm sure you have a lot on your plate so I appreciate you volunteering for this.
Extra Notes
Thanks a lot for the challenge and opportunity :)
