I love the interpretation of the theme. Simple but effective. Generally speaking, this is an excellent jam submission !

Overall a really lovely experience and a great pick for the music too. The darkness moving around faster and more randomly when the player speeds really does emphasise well the thought process and how things get out of control which I really liked.

Card ControlNice art style, and the music fits it all really well. And added inertia on controls makes the game so much harder. Changing black things' movement speed based on the characters' is a nice touch.
That letting go thing was so cool, loved it!
One small issue I noticed: the black things suddenly appear on the screen. Perhaps some logic to spawn them only off-screen would be nice. And maybe you could randomise the peace position too.

Lost SignalReally enjoyed it.
I loved the fact that I secretly had control over the panic through my own movements. Suits the theme really well, same as the final level.
Great job!

Out of KeyWow! The arts style is really relaxing and cool! Had a blast playing it.

Suspicious SheepThis is so relaxing!! I feel the anxiety vibes on the game. If something feels like out of control is anxiety and strees, a really poetic take on the theme. Reall well executed also, great entry!

CheatMaster 3000That was a fine game! That final level (spoiler alert!) sure was taking the theme literally :p

Lost in Translation (and space)Nice job! Only thing I would add, is some kind of particles or death effect when you get hit, otherwise great game! The idea was conveyed really well. Here's my game https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/697413 tell me what you think :)

Split ShotI wasn't able to find the peace sign in level 2. Does the player have to do something before it spawns or am I just blind?
The sound design is the strongest aspect here, I think. Really enjoyed that. Especially the distant creaking.

Side Effects Include:Cool game, had a bit of problem with the controlls and finding the objective, but it's nice.

Control is the KeyI loved this game and i thought it was cool that the controls were so loose and that it was a mix of trying to control it and trying to find the peace sighn
