I got a bit dizzy in the end when I restarted twice but really nice game feel throughout the game and clever puzzle idea, congrats!

I first had a mouse sensitivity problem, played a bit, and then reloaded the game because it was not playable, and it worked! Maybe i launched the game in small screen mode, and when I went full it didn't like it? 

The music felt a bit out of place, though, and the shaking was a bit too much (would make the hand shake instead work maybe?) 

Love the screen aesthetic! And the physics of the button feel really nice to push

The music and shaking and lights and rumble is meant to encourage you to push the button and reset!

Hooooo i seeee

I do get it now, so that makes more sense then ^^

Really cool concept and fun puzzles!

The amount of screen shake was a bit too much for me, I would like an option to adjust that.

Overall is a great game, good job!

The game reminds me of certain puzzles in DnD. It could definitly use some polish though. I had some trouble with the controls and mouse in both fullscreen mode and windows mode.

The atmosphere while completing the puzzles did a great job at making me stressed at times. and the overall polish of the game really gave the game a clean output.

Very cool, could not lock my mouse so I couldn't look behind me, but I did play through the first few parts!

really liked how the music and effects ramped up, nice little pay off at the end as well when the walls came down. little laggy in firefox

Loved this! Took me a while to get it as I didn't immediately understand that one pattern was different from the others, but once I did the game became so fun. Loved the sense of escalation - the music was really well done, and the sense of progression and the payoff at the end was lovely!

This game is extremely fun and very intuitive. I really enjoyed the music and how intense it got. I wasn't ready for the wall to move outwards and the game to get more visually stimming. Very great game and the vibe is amazing.  100% potential into a Stanley Parable like game. I just wish there was more time or a way to increase time, like the speed of completing a patten can add to your time left.

You actually get more time based on how many puzzles you completed when you push the button! It is the one mechanic that isn’t explained so well though.

haha button make funny sound

Very fun idea, gets intense which you don't expect while matching shape blocks!

Thanks for playing! I hope it wasn’t too stressful 😅
