Moody and perfect sound design. The game is too short and simple for me to pick up a meaning or message. I would, however, love to see more of this.

The audio is perfect and conveys a heavy feeling. I really enjoyed the gradual buildup too. I don't know what kind of message it was hoping to convey but to me, it felt like slowly getting over hurdles, getting better as you go. Near the end, it felt like I had overcome something.
Interesting idea. Thank you for the opportunity to play.
Thank you so much for playing! As we want every player to experience the game without us spoiling our intended message, I will not say if you are right or wrong. Actually, there is no right or wrong. We have a message we want to convey as designers, but much more important is the interpretation made by the player. With that said, from what I can see, you are not that far away...
This game was so simple and carried so much meaning! The controls were a bit frustrating, but I think that added SO much to this. I kept thinking "Why is it so hard?? Why is it taking so long to get up there??" and it really hit me how that was part of your design.
As someone with mental illness, this game was frustrating but that's life with mental illness in general. It's a up-hill battle.
This game was lovely. I have nothing bad to say about it. Good job!!
I love the simplicity of the art style and the music is also fantastic!!
The message from the game is also very lovely!
This game holds a lot of future promises in my opinion :)
