How does you game fit the theme?
Cognition fits the theme by having a narrator speaking to you, therefore, you are not alone!
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Our team made all the assets during the game jam, with the exception of the main character sprite and the crate (which are heavily modified sprites from an asset pack by Anokolisa)

Rewarding, fun gameplay!
First, the art style is dope -- excellent color spectrum and quality character design. It also meshed super well with the run/jumping mechanics of the characters. It's got the juice, as they say.
Secondly, the gameplay's mechanics are super rewarding due to carefully considering both level design and how you can repeat the level on death. It's a seemingly simple 101 game dev, but it can be hard to hone and perfect -- this game does just that.
Challenging, fun puzzle-solving mechanics are a plus, too -- it was fun figuring out how the mechanics work and how to complete each level.
There's a ton to be proud of here; great job overall!
I look forward to future projects from this developer.
Terrific!! This is the kind of game that I would like to play in game jam (and the kind of game that I would like to make). Creative, challenging, decent, simple but visually appealing, engaging and lots of fun. Unfortunately, we stuck at the last puzzle of the end stage. We really want to know any cue to beat the last puzzle!

My Dear BaileyAh ok so lemme give you a couple of clues for the last puzzle, first part is just a double grav switch, you see the massive amount of boxes, they hide something if you flip the gravity. Those portals, just look at where the orange ones are pointing, and that's all i will say! But it's great that you enjoy the game! And it's not too hard to make either, the art was stressful though as we didn't have a clear vision so i just went all out with post processing and particle effects!
A really fun game and interesting the only thing that bothered me was the gravity switch, it felt a bit janky which in some times it will switch correctly and sometimes you will get a massive boost (the more annoying part was the one where you "fly" and need to hit like 3 switches felt a bit random for when it works) and the hitbox of the switch was a bit to strict.
other then that a really really good game and very fun to play :D

Dave the WatcherI love the unusual mechanics, especially changing gravity surprised me and narrator talking to me and commenting my moves. The levels are so creative! Graphics are great. Music perfectly matches the style of the game and with the lights and particles make it moody. It was really fun playing this game. You did a nice job!
A really good puzzle platformer and I really enjoyed the narrator's dialogue :D The controls and timings can be very tight in some places, but it was so satisfying when I pulled it off. One thing I do find very frustrating is the camera having to catch up with the character flying Mach 10 across the screen and dying to spikes I can't see. Other than that, it's a very well-made game with interesting puzzles. Excellent work!

FellowshipVery nice game! The art is nice and the animations are awesome. I really like the plot at the end. The narrator is also nice. Good job.

YOU ARE U!Great game! The sprite work is great and the puzzles have a nice progression + have interesting mechanics that keep you going and tie in well together like the gravity switching and the boxes. Movement felt great but was a bit off that there was no jump buffering implemented and that killed me a couple times. Also jumping immediately after landing eats your velocity and you just do an extremely short hop.

Sentient BuffetThis was a fun game. i liked it :) it was fun but it wasn't very painful to keep trying. i like the level rewind system and how it saves the position of the box over deaths it is a very useful mechanic. i died a hundred times playing the game and i don't regret it at all. I like the music it's very nice :)
Great Game, puzzles were not too easy, the graphics and audio were great

Leave me alonea well-polished game with some minor issues! was a little laggy when i walked and the E for the gravity could have a little bigger collider as sometimes I have to spam e to get it. however, this is a well-done game!

Cult WreckersI have mixed feelings about this game. On the one hand, there is an interesting plot, good audio, weird but addictive graphics, and well-written levels, but on the other hand, there are uncontrollable character jumps and really hard and frustrating gameplay. But in total, this game is really good and worth playing (if you can save your anger, unlike me)
