The art style is so interesting and fun, I really like it! The music also fits the art style really well.

It was definitely hard to read the level and tell where the player was, but maybe that was intentional to increase the difficulty. Either way, great game, and I didn't encounter too many bugs!

Developer

thanks a lot! And no, it was not intentional but i found the way to fix the problem!

Submitted

i really like unconventional art styles like this one! awesome stuff

Developer

Thanks for your kind words!

Submitted

I honestly really like the mouse controls. It's surprisingly smooth and I like the little bit of snap that comes from it. I will say, the visuals are a little bit heavy and it's not the clearest, but I like the vibe/theme!

Developer

thanks a lot man! I am rn working on making the player more distinguishable in the game so everyone will see him.

Submitted

Very cool!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

I loved literally everything! Would be happy to see more levels :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot man! I reallyy appreciate that! Im happy to hear that somebody loves everything about it!

Submitted

movement feels kinda janky, other than that tho its a rlly fun game.

Developer

thx for the feedback! But where do the movement feels "janky" exactly?

Submitted

Hard to explain, going around corners and speed feel hard to control.

Developer

ok, i will remember that

Submitted

The game looks nice but is pretty short and the inability for the mouse to go around corners is annoying, but tolerable.

Developer(+1)

thx for the feedback! And what do you exactly mean by "going around corners"?

Submitted

It can get caught if you don't thread the needle going around a collision. If the corners were rounded and it could slide off then it would control nicer

Developer(+1)

Oh
i CAN fix that but it will take a really long time
it will maybe be in the post-jam version

Submitted

Fun vibe!

Developer

thx!

Submitted

very cool concept and visuals, but personally i thought it was a lil hard to see around, very cool game tho!!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for your kind words! I will make the player more recognizable in the post jam version

Submitted

The concept and vibes are really good! Like mouse to computer mouse. It reminds me of Mark Rober videos in a way. The visibility could use some work tho

Developer

you posted your comment twice. Thx for your kind words! I rlly appreciate that! I will try to work on visibility tho

Submitted

My bad

Submitted

The player is hard to see and there are some bugs when the restart button never appears, still the concept is cool and it plays fine. The artwork is unique and the music is decent as well, nice work!

Developer

Thanks! I will fix those bugs in the post jam version

Submitted

Hey, I like the light that helps to find the mouse. nice add ;)
Unfortunately, I think found a bug. Not always but sometimes, after touching an alien "player" disapears and I can only wait until the time runs out :( 
Not sure it helps but I'm using Windows 11 - Firefox 153.0 (64-bit)

Developer(+1)

huh, i have never seen that bug. Will fix that tho after the jam, thx for the compliment btw!

Submitted

Kinda hard to see the player but i enjoyed it !

Developer(+1)

Thx! I added the light to the player but sometimes some lights just dissapear including the light of the player! I will make the player more recognizable tho

Submitted

Very interesting graphical style, haven’t seen anything like it in a while!

Developer

Thx a lot! Im gonna play your game now

Submitted

i love the level design and art!

Developer

Thx for your kind words!

Submitted

hey, the music is a bop and the way the maze is made of these convincing physical household items is really charming! I kinda wish I had some opportunity to see your weird little mouse character up close. there’s a few bugs in there but I believe in you! navigating a maze with a character that trails behind your mouse is a tricky little challenge, I like it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I definitely will do a post-jam version with all the bugs fixed! And i got some ideas how to make the character be upclose to camera.

Submitted

Hey, nice maze game! I would definitely put some instructions on the game page, it took me a few precious seconds to figure out the character moved with the mouse, not keyboard, haha

Developer

thx for the feedback! I will put those now

Submitted

Not a bad game and the mouse has a very nice design

Developer

thx for your kind words!
