It is special to test a game where you die in 5 seconds but I just wanted to say that the pixel art is really cute and the overall look/atmosphere is really good. Great job even if you couldn't finish it !

Pretty hard to rate or offer feedback on, since there is so little there. But hey, congrats on getting something submitted nonetheless; there's been times where I just end up with nothing to submit to jams at all, so you've done more than I sometimes can!

What there already is in the prototype, along with the mockups of rooms not in the game do have nice artwork and a cool vibe that I'd be interested in seeing more of.

On the other hand, embrace the whole "1st room and you can only die" angle and market it as a nihilist manifesto.

Yeah a bit frustrating since I see the screenshot with the second room but keep dying without knowing if I'm doing something wrong. Maybe an insta-kill in the first 5 seconds is too harsh. As a player I would have liked a bit more time to just get acclimated. Interesting concept and art! Would have loved to play more of this! The art and audio design was really intriguing.

I removed the second screenshot and updated the page to more properly inform the state of this prototype. That was poor judgement on my part. I apologize. Sleep derivation didn't help either 🤪

The first part of the room is a bit crazy in it's current state, but the ability to escape that trap is simple if I had gotten the second part of the room finished in time. Sorry for the harsh and frustrating experience. Once voting is over I plan to upload an update. Hope you'll come back to check it out!

definitely! It has a really cool concept I'll definitely be back for a full playthrough!

Is it normal that I can't get past even the first room? I did see it saying this was an unfinished prototype, but your screenshot showed otherwise.

I removed the second screenshot and updated the page. The ability to the escape the first part of the room does not work. I apologize for the confusion. Poor judgement on my part 😩  You can check out the updated page information with  some hidden *possible spoiler* mock-up screenshots too. I plan to upload a properly working prototype once voting is over.

I understand. I'll try it out on your next prototype though.
