Ranked from 175 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
i mean the theme is strange places and the whole game is literally the weirdest place most people visit every single night but never pay attention to. the stuff you see when you close your eyes for long enough yk? it happens to everyone, but turning it into a game environment with its own emotions feels strange and brain scratching in the best way.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
none. everything was made procedurally in lua by me :), every procedural shape every shitty little particle, sfx, palette shifts, even the garbage typing sound for text. no ripped sprites or snippets

How many people worked on the game?

I really like the concept and artstyle. But I had problems understanding what to do in the game, as well is the music quite shrill.

This is a mesmerizing and unique experience that turns the strange world of closed-eye visions into a colorful journey. Great job! The visuals are great, though the audio can be harsh at times.

If you get time, can you please rate our game? We've not hit the limit yet!

This was a very interesting and unique concept! The colors were very pretty and vibrant. I do think the contrast of a lot of the text against the background was way too low. I could still read most of it just fine, but others might struggle with it. Also, a lot of the sound effects were way too high pitched for me. But other than those minor gripes, this is really good and quite impressive!

I saw this game before the voting period. And it ceases to dissapoint me. This game is absolutely amazing! The visuals are top notch! I thought I was crazy when I told my friends about this kinda thing. Guess were both crazy! Well Done on the game!

Perhaps you would like to try out my game :D

Visually this was amazing. I loved the story telling as well. Great work!

Really cool concept for the theme. The idea of collecting positive thoughts while avoiding the negative ones is simple mechanically but fits the vibe. Colorful, abstract look makes it feel like you're drifting around inside your own head.

Short, unique, and memorable.

Lived the visuals and the theme of the game. The patterns are mesmerizing.

The game is obviously very polished and looks stunning, so I'm going to focus on two things:

1. The audio is super annoying and hurts my ears at times

2. "z" as a keybind is pretty awkward, especially on non-QWERTY layouts

Those visuals are really awesome. Juste the audio a bit high but really nice game btw

The visuals are nice, and it surely fits the theme really well, but the audio is annoying.

Man I was stuck on the start screen for long. because there was written "Press 2" to proceed. Turns out it was "Press Z". By the way this is a good game and use the theme in a nice way.

Oh yes... someone took my night feelings and make them into a game :( Pretty cool game!!!

Really cool visuals! The audio was a bit unbearable but that's absolutely fine! I really like the deeper meaning this game tries to convey. I hope you get a high place in the jam!

Overall great! Fantastic visuals and a great take on the theme, I feel like improving the audio would help the most.

the visual's goated, but I think my ears are bleeding now

I really liked the concept. As a child I used to be very intrigued by these lights and patterns we see with eyes closed, but I forgot it growing up. This game made me remember it, but now with the perspective of anxiety lol. Pretty good theming, but I honestly think the gameplay could be better!

Submitted(+1)

The idea is very original, and the visuals are quite juicy, kinda reminded me of Swallow the sea, but, the audio was kind of uhhhh bad

Submitted(+1)

I feel like the dialogue between each level is too much and is breaking the flow. Otherwise it's a very unique experience
