How does you game fit the theme?
You're playing in a purgatory/dreamscape environment, where anything goes and the rules of reality may not be consistent
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code/assets were created by the developers, Tagtart and McJimbles, except for the player drop shadow and outline shader which were free assets

Loved it!
I really love the whole game especially the art and music! My only problem was that because of the way the camera was positioned jumping was hard. But other than that it was great!
I like the mechanic of using your previous body to progress, that's neat. Art and pixel art on the level number smiley guy and the mural look great. All the smiles and the puppies on the wall and such really drive home that underlying eerie and sterile feeling of being tested and examined. Plus, those chairs in the window. Solving puzzles felt rewarding and the music was atmospheric. I like this game a lot!
I did get frustrated with the inviso-maze though, it's pretty disorienting. If that was what you were going for though, it worked out. Either way, good job on this game especially in 7 days.
Happy to be your 20th rater! This was really fun to play, I really liked the child-like aesthetic of the environment and the stick figure animations. When I first died, I thought it's a nice little addition that your dead body (or previous contestant) remains in the game, then it turned out to be part of a puzzle later, so good job on that!
My only issue with it was the WASD movement with the isometric view, it's always hard to jump in directions that always require two keys plus the jump button.
Nice puzzle game, I really liked it
This is a cool game with a lot of room to grow with new level ideas and mechanics. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Not sure how well it fits the theme but otherwise a really good game.
What a good puzzle game! Didn't expect it to be this good.
to be honest, by looking at the photos I wasn't expecting it to be this much fun. I really enjoyed it. but I guess I died too many times :) (35 times in 12 minutes).
Man I loved this game! Enjoyed it thoroughly!
Full 5s !
Something about this game is soooooooooooo satisfying and i liked it so much :)

Fun game, gave me a bit the Squid Games vide with the window and the chairs on the top :)
I liked the twist on level 4 where you need to hold R. Overall nice ideas across levels!
I loved the game! Keep it up! I am not really good with these type of games tho:o
Thank you !
Pretty fun game! The first time I died I burst out laughing lol. The puzzles were nice and the environment really did feel like it "wasn't real", great game
Appreciate the feedback!
Don't mention it :P. Btw, check out my game too when you can, thanks :))
Super clean 3D puzzle game with a twist! Definitely deserves more attention, it's very well made! Extremely fun as well, amazing work!
It was funny! It scared me to death the first time i died, though, haha. But nice puzzles and great music!
Wow, I really love the visuals on this game, they are amazing! Awesome game!
I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^
Alrighty rated your game :) and thank you!
That’s like, a really funny puzzle game. I hate whoever thought of the reverse controls puzzle room though.
Thanks for playing, glad you liked it! The reverse controls room was a bit of a last minute gimmick idea I had, sorry haha
