Pretty swag game. Don't have much else to say, interesting concept, i like.

It's a very refreshing and interesting concept. For this jam, I think it's executed pretty well. Vaguely having an idea of what sort of environment you're in makes everything feel uneasy and supernatural. The sound design and visuals really add to the experience as well. If I'd have to give it any criticism I'd say that it's too short and too easy, but considering the limited time and the scope of what you've built I think it's all fair.

This was absolutely terrifying. Good job! I think this was a wonderful take on the jam's theme. The visuals are so cool, and so is the sound design.  All of it really helped sell the spookiness and created a sense of urgency.

The concept is superbly well executed, and the core mechanic is genuinely fun (even though my wrist hurts now)! The variety of maps adds great replayability, and I'm honestly surprised at how smoothly the game runs in a browser given how large and fully 3D the environments are. Excellent work!

I wish I actually needed to stop and crank/turn something with my mouse in order to see my surroundings, but this is a really creative way to go about the theme. Very cool and very scary. Nailed the atmosphere :)

interesting idea, wasn’t sold on the movement with the spinning of the mouse. liked the levels, game looked great, decent atmosphere - red flashes were decent enough to increase the tension, but could maybe have had a little more peril. Nice entry

The visuals were stellar, it was honestly really cool to look back from the finish line and see how I mapped out the environment. A piece of feedback that I would give was that while it was eerie, I never felt that I was in any danger. I think I saw the "thing" only once and the other times I just walked to the exit without any hardships. It would be cool to see the audio get some love, like imagine you can hear the thing's footsteps behind you or some monster sounds ahead of you. Regardless, I really enjoyed this experience and excited to see what you make next!

Performant heavy game, however, the concept is unique, and is amplified through the engaging gameplay aspects of spinning the mouse in a circle as I navigate to a green exit. The idea of a pursuer scared me so hard I accidentally pressed ctrl w by the last level. Gorgeously inspiring, and nice horror implementation without needing to do much else except add to the atmosphere with a clear statement.

Concept is super unique, I didn't understand at first, but then I got it and had fun, style is awesome too, also win screen seems a bit off style

Very unique gameplay! I wasn’t expecting the theme to be used more as a control mechanic, where you constantly have to spin the mouse to reach the objective. Really cool game both mechanically and visually.

Really awesome, super unique concept and plays very well. I really liked the last level- perfect ending to a well executed concept. Audio fits the game well, 5/5 on everything amazing job.

That was really neat. I got completely lost on the level where there is a fence blocking the marked path, and wasn't really sure what the upgrades did though

I feel like the controls could be explained better, and the sound design could use some work, but overall great & unique game with cool visuals.

Performance is also a bit of an issue, when I scan a lot, the framerate tanks, down to 20's-30's. Granted, I'm playing on integrated graphics.

looks incredible, and is one of the most unique things ive seen so far. Its a bit too hard imo, I couldnt even survive the timer for the first round, but that might just be a skill issue xD.
