The discomfort feeling during the game comes in a clear, immediate and painful way (that makes hard giving a high score for "FUN"). The mechanics are intuitive and clear. The doubt I have is for the message: we have pink dots, blue squares and a pink dot that has to be accepted by the blue squares by looking like them. Since the theme is passing, I assumed that the main character is transfemme. And then I wondered why a girl should be able to pass as a boy in case of need to overcome a certain obstacle. There is probably something I'm missing, and in case I apologize.

Developer

Thank you for the direct response, and for taking the experience seriously.
We planned to make the metaphor more abstract with more shapes and colors, but didn't get to it.
Thanks for you feedback, we'll try to define a more clear message for our next game.

Love it! This is a really great, abstract representation of what it's like to try and pass/blend in with society.

Thanks!

Stop pushing me, blue cubes! Love the AI mechanics and shape-changing idea, pretty self-explained the concepts of hiding in society.

:)

I really love the visuals, animation and music, especially the ending screen. It's just so charming :D

The only way for me to get to the ending was through spamming the space bar, which is probably really fitting, as in having to constantly, actively keeping up appearances in order to be accepted or 'get in' quickly. Well done, I like it a lot!

Developer

Thank you!
I'm glad to hear the concept was clear😄
