How does the game fit into the theme?
Mental Runner it’s a game about resilience and pushing through inner struggles. Players must literally and metaphorically keep moving forward, battling obstacles, enemies, and their own weaknesses (alcohol addiction, apathy, and past trauma). The dynamic mechanics—running, dodging, and grappling—emphasize constant progress, while the rotating levels and intense breakcore soundtrack create a sense of urgency. The game’s core message is clear: no matter how chaotic or challenging life gets, you must keep moving forward.

a lil hard at the start but really started to get used to things! good work!
The mechanics are fun and the graphics are quite amazing. Maybe so difficult at beginning.
Finally i tried it! The game is very fun, i think maybe too hard at the begining but later it improves. I love the art desing and the music and the theme. Cool game!! :D
Very cool game, love the concept, love the game, the game is so fun actually. it's just the game is too hard, maybe I'm just bad but it took me like 20 min just to reach the 'RMB' part of the game. The music the graphics,and the feel, are all great I just think the difficulty is way too hard. Would have definitely played this game for an hour if the difficulty ramp were balanced and there were more levels!
Overall great game, GREAT WORK!
Thank you very much! Yes, the first level is supposed to be easier to get comfortable with the gameplay. Also, I have to make slide moments more intuitive. Sometimes, you just can’t see that you need to slide.
it looks so cool but windows don't let me download it, it detects a virus :<
Sorry to hear it. My friends I asked to test game didn't say anything about this. Try to turn off antivirus while downloading or something else.
Yep, it's really detects a virus. I guess because of wrong export setting. Turning off antivirus helps, but this not not good. I'm gonna contact with jam's host. Maybe smh we will resolve this problem. Thank you for saying.
i hope you can upload de Game, It looks soo cool!
