Very cute and interesting little game you've made. I was unsure about it, then I got to the level where you have to bounce pillows off walls, which was not clear right away. I was stuck on level 4 of the tutorial I think when I went to the comments to see if anyone else had the same experience. Then I realized I could bounce them and the game got much more interesting. 3D games are always a pretty ambitious start in a game jam and I would suspect that a lot of time went into that. I actually found the mechanics pretty engaging and wish they were developed more to create more interesting levels after learning you can bounce the pillows. The art style is cool, but also very weird and liminal. Maybe some kind of weird background track could have added to the atmosphere of the game. In general, I think this is a pretty good entry, and one of the few 3D ones I've played, so hats off to you for taking that on. Well done, thanks for making and sharing it :)

Big thanks for this great feedback !
The level design is really rough 😅, next time im gonna try to focus on teaching the mechanics to the player in the level design ! Cause in this game i wanted to teach the mechanics without a wall of text.
It’s for that reason that there is drawing (more like a doodle) of what to do and not text :)
PS : didn’t have time to make a sound track T_T
Love the aesthetic, stylish and weird. I laughed every time another guy ragdolled to sleep.
I got stuck fairly quickly, and I was looking for feedback on why. The pillow mechanic is a fun one, if it works haha.But to be fair, the idea is fun, maybe in 3D was a bridge too far and a 2d side scroller with these mechanics wouldve worked better.
Fun experience until I got stuck though!
ya i didn't make it out of tutorial 4, shaders are one thing but there seems to be actual gameplay bugs, i spawned in tut 3 with no pillow and i dont think the first restart even fixed it. tut 4 has that edge in front and i kept throwing my pillows over it or out of bounds.
still, a worthy submission. also, SANDMAN BUDDIES!
Hello thanks for playing !!
Sorry for the bugs 😅😅
In tutorial 3, its not normal that you spwn with no pillow, idk why it happend
for the tutorial 4, the edge in front is intentional, it’s to teach the pillow bounce mechanic, but its not easy to understand 😅😅
(Try to bounce your pillows off the wall ^^)
