Oh my God, that was so horror! Interesting tricks and hooks, I would see how it turns out to make a whole game. My only gripe is overkill with some special effects (chromatic aberration for example)/

overall quality is really great! didn't read the short description so I got mindblowned with the concept, controls feel great, funni NPCs n spooky E (don't wanna spoil), made me do 2nd playthru to realize the RNG on the first key n try waiting instead of getting scared, definitely would play the full game great job man :D

Block SlideWow this demo was awesome, I was sad it was over so soon. I would pay for a full experience for sure. Incredible work!
Submitted
VOID RUNNERWow! This is amazing. Not just super polished but also really creative concept. I started making up in my head what the mystery happening in the 3D space could be. Would be curious to see this being expanded on :) Great work!

That time of the MonthWell, I didn't expect that at all! Great use of the theme! Polished, fun and surprising!

MMR (Meteor Moving Robot)Great idea! I am very happy that I didn't read the "What is Joyous?" part of the game description before I played. ;)
Is there a way to escape from the "Exit" screen if you take that route or is that the end of the demo?

Brittlo (Mini Jam #97)Wow that was crazy, everything is just really good in this game! Even though I suck at platforming and generally don’t like or play it, I really enjoyed this game once I got past the first key! It looks quite polished too, I’m amazed you did it in 3 days! Congrats for making me enjoy your game that much even though I thought I wouldn’t :)
(By the way, would you mind explaining/sharing how you did the RGB trail following the player? I got into Unity shader graph & VFX a few days before the jam and I’d love to know how to do something similar!)

Mutton Gear SolidI used Sprite Trails, a paid asset from the asset store I grabbed a while back. It is very versatile and value for money.
It's honestly incredible you managed to do this in a period of time this short. It's funny and looks good, well done !

Mutton Gear SolidThis game is really cool, I can see many cool possibilities with the concept. The visuals were also great, I love the post processing effect. Good job!
