[specs]

• mac mini m2, 32gb ram, 12 cores
• windows download, played .exe via GameHub emulator

[overall/first impressions]

• i love when i can tell immediately upon opening a game page “oh boy this is gonna be fucked up” and i wasn’t disappointed. very inventive, creative, and genuinely disconcerting & offputting. would def play a longer game and will be looking forward to the dev’s other output!

[intro]

• not skippable (negative)
• the intro animatic was short enough that it wasn’t obnoxious to restart and have it replay a few times, and the imagery added to the weird atmosphere. enjoyed the intro real-time readout the first time, by the third i was a little tired of waiting. there are also some delays that make it seem liek something is broken. i always rec’d implementing a skip function (with confirmation), and a replay intro button in the menu.

[audio]

• disturbing SFX and fitting period music for the old cartoonish vibe.

[art/visuals]

• very weirdcore/liminal/analog horror vibes, love it.the mixture of old cartoon, handdrawn marker/crayon, cute/kawaii, and real-world textures/photos made this super enjoyable to play. i just love seeing weird inventive shit like this. the itch page is also heavily themed and hell to look at (compliment)

[customization/accessibility]

• only brief in-game instructions & controls (negative)
• zero settings (negative)

[gameplay/handling/controls]

• very basic/easy to handle controls A/D for horizontal movement
• red light/green light overseer insta-death
• could def use some optimization, for an insta-kill game this unforgiving there was a little kinda unfair movement/rendering jank.
• couldn’t get past the first level. skill issue, i know lol. i would’ve really loved to get to see the other levels cause i genuinely am in love with the vibes here but after like 10-15 attempts i just couldn’t do any more for now. best i got to was 20secs left. would love to see some optimization as mentioned above.
• the stars, which are supposed to slow you down, made me completely immobile.

I like the lil Catface lookin' guy, and the Mario Galaxy-ness of a spinning planet thing. Kept getting stuck while moving but seems like that's somethin' effecting others too.

I love it so far:D! however little cat gets stuck quite frequently despite spamming movement input in the first minigame so i cant really progress. Also a progression indicator would be amazing! will come back to rate again after resubmission period in case you are still patching it:3

Is it possible that you make a Web build or a playthrough? 

Damn bro!!!!!

this is really one of the best mind churning games i have played. 

How did you even think of this?

I am rating 5 stars in all the fields !!!!!

This game was amazing! My only real feedback would be that on some levels I think there should be some kind of progression indicator that kind of signal how long is left, like on how the Weapons lvl the weapons start moving or in the Screen lvl the creature appears faster and more often. Also the Gun lvl wouldn't recognize my E input sometimes. Other than that, this was genuinely one of the best games I've seen so far! 

the game is really nice! i love the main idea 
i don't have much to say, this is amazing

Absolute cinema! This feels like one of those games with heavy amounts of lore (which reading from the spoilers text, it does!). I love how it blends in a dark theme with also an innocence of how a child sees the world. I do think that the minigames were a bit too difficult and it made it a bit infuriating to finish but I got to the end eventually. Great art and great audio which fits everything! Overall, I had a lot of fun with this one! Awesome work!
