Charming art and kinda fun sounds. A chill soundtrack would have been cool.

I love the up and down voice over sound effects. Good game! Would recommend giving a half a second longer to click on the intrusive thoughts. They often went too fast. Love the game. Good job for 48 hours!

nice idea about the intrusive thoughts actually being the blockers for your gameplay!

Great usage of the theme! And a cute art style.

At first I was confused what other commenters were talking about with collecting things, I saw no hearts or coins on my first play :D

Really funny game idea with the intrusive thoughts that manipulate your inputs! I wish there was a little more time to react to the intrusive thoughts thoug, because I almost never managed to remove it before it was actually performed. 
I love the hand-drawn visual style and the self-made audio :) We also hand-drawed and recorded all our visuals and audio for our game. Feel free to check it out, if you like.

Thx for your feedback :) I think the trick is to focus more on the intrusive thoughts coming in and then only queue the absolutely necessary moves for not running into stuff
