How does the game fit the theme?
i mean the theme is strange places and the whole game is literally the weirdest place most people visit every single night but never pay attention to. the stuff you see when you close your eyes for long enough yk? it happens to everyone, but turning it into a game environment with its own emotions feels strange and brain scratching in the best way.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
none. everything was made procedurally in lua by me :), every procedural shape every shitty little particle, sfx, palette shifts, even the garbage typing sound for text. no ripped sprites or snippets

This is so badass. The game feels so ethereal and you just get flabbergasted by the visuals and the sounds, It feels, looks, plays and sounds amazing.

this was incredible. familiar even. I felt a sense of peace when playing this oddly enough and the style tho simple was very complex. amazing experience that I think everyone should experience even once!

That was a very cool experience! Very pretty patterns and colours - a perfect implementation of the theme. The movement is fluid and it's clear what you're supposed to do (after reading the description / controls). 

My only feedback would be that I wish we could speed the dialog text up, I can read much faster than it appears. Also at the end of the game, the text appears behind the black hole briefly, but once all the text is there it pops in front.

thanks for your feedback! im currently working on a better version of the game so it’ll be updated soon. the text is faster and i fixed the black hole :)
