I really enjoyed the minimalist atmosphere of this game. It's style is really simple but it oozes charm, so although I was a little disappointed that it was pretty short, I loved what I got. I would definitely want to see the idea expanded upon one day. Dialogue was really funny, the platforming was pretty solid, and the palette was nice too. Great job on this!

Clever and funny! I like how the puzzles even look like brains. I wish that hitting space would complete a sentence instead of skipping them, as I skipped a lot trying to read faster. Great work!

Submitted

Great game, lots of fun! The dialogue was so clever and the music was a perfect fit. Great job!

lovely game, platforming is just slightly jankey, but the charm more then makes up for it.

Submitted

Great game.  Love the dialogue and style of the game.   

Decided to use MaxTheCoder 's bug find to speedrun for the fun of it.

Very good concept

Submitted

Love the aesthetic and writing. Awesome concept great execution!

Great idea and well executed! I liked the music and gameplay was smooth most of the time. The only bug I encountered spawned another player and cleared the text area every time I pressed "Enter" before finding all spheres.

Just patched that bug, thanks for the heads up!

No problem :)

Really good story and idea.

I absolutely loved just about everything about this game, the colours you picked really seem to suit the game! It would be nice to have the option to just complete the sentence and not skip dialogue completely, but that is my only complaint. Great job!!!

Platforming with weird collisions and almost infuriating level design saved by the sheer silliness of the situation. Enjoyed!

Developer(+1)

Frankly, I set up my player character in a weird way, which is what was causing the weird collisions. Still not perfect, but I just uploaded an update that smooths out most of the collision issues (I think?). The level design, well...that's a whole 'nother ball game! Appreciate you taking the time to play!

Love the color scheme, music, and art style. The writing also works very well for the theme.

Unfortunately, I was unable to reach the last pickup (inside the chin). No matter how I struggle, I just can't make that jump.

Also, there was an odd bug: I found that pressing the A and D keys triggers the walk animation, even though the character doesn't actually move.

Developer(+1)

Fixed that A/D bug in the latest update, thanks for catching that! Also fixed some of the jankiness with the platforming to catch that place you got stuck, hopefully! Appreciate the kind words and thanks for playing.

The character gets a little buggy with walls and platforms sometime but other than that, the game is basically flawless, really cool graphics, fun writing and ending, original concept, and great execution overall, the game just lacks an original gameplay mecanic.

Submitted

nice, short, and fun game! i like the ending :)

Submitted

Nice one 👌This answers the question "Have you ever looked at someone and wondered what goes on inside their head?"

Submitted

Yo’ Very fun game, the visuals are great, the dialogue is fun, and the gameplay overall is nice (for some reason it kinda gave me the feeling that the conversation could go differently if I picked one sphere over another) although the platforming was kinda of awkward at moments

Submitted

This is amazing! The dialouge is super funny, and it made me laugh all the time! The platforming sections are a little rough, but the game makes up for it in the dialouge section.

Submitted

I love the concept and the simplistic design but the gameplay side is a bit rough.

Developer

Yeahhh...first time making platform bits, so I’ve got some things to improve upon if I flesh this out further. Appreciate you playing!

Submitted

the concepts really cool, I got stuck on level 3 though - what a twist!

I love the story and design ^^
