How does your game fit the theme?
The character on screen is not controlled by the player; the player merely guides him. The hiker will jump more or less high, or move slower or faster, or put in more or less effort to clear gaps or reach ledges depending on -his- emotions rather than instructions by the player. The player can only guide him to start going right/left, or climb up or down ladders with the arrow keys.

Cool idea! I liked that you had to keep the character's emotions in mind, and not just focus purely on the platforming. I loved the art style and music as well!!
Very cool game! The only annoying part is that sometimes the character simply wouldn't clear gaps, even if he was in his "normal" state, which can be frustrating if it's near the end of a long screen. Otherwise, I loved this!
We apologise for that, the first idea was that the player can control the character but due to emotions affected by the environment, the character will have an uncontrollable impulse moving on its own thus making it out of control. But as Razoric was trying to implement it, it was way too complicated to code so he went with a much simpler mechanics. And we didn't have much time to fix bugs(if you notice any) and polish the level design. Other than that, thank you for the feedback! Glad you liked the art and music. :D
Really fun game! A nice concept!
This kinda makes me remind of Celeste.. A hike and falling platforms followed by a great leap in the intro..
Great Job!
It's a really cute idea! And you do really feel like he has a mind of his own but it also never gets frustrating! Congrats! :)
Fun game, great presentation, but could do with a title screen. (it seemed like an intro scene not the game starting when i opened it)
Thank you for the feedback! I did most of the art and music while all the code and mechanics are all done by @Razoric480. :D
