amazing and so creative game!!! love the artstyle and music!!
The audiovisual experience was really original and captivating. Found myself starting to hold my breath and bracing in anticipation for the next stage, nailed the aesthetic, so good. The gameplay is just lacking a little something that would activate the brain in a complimentary way to the art direction, but not sure exactly what it is; whether it's for it to be more challenging or have some other element to it. At the moment it's just kinda plain, but it's close to being something fun, I wish I could offer an idea as to what that necessary extra element could be.
Awesome work all the same congrats
Visually and sonically, the game is incredible—congrats on how polished it feels. I really liked the aesthetic of the third-eye monkey.
The only downside for me was the gameplay. The loop theme felt a bit forced, and it mostly came down to moving the mouse in circles over the scribbles until the game eventually ended.
It's a shame, because the audiovisual side is outstanding. Still, great job! :)
Creative idea with excellent artwork and audio, but as a game it was very easy and not very engaging. Half the time I felt I was just drawing random circles and I still "won"
Thank you for the feedback! We definitely wanted to add more challenge and scoring to the game but chose to focus on polishing what we were able to get done, but that's top of the list of updates to make
Thanks! We didn't do a good job explaining the core gameplay in the tutorial, and we continue the levels even if you don't actually score any points because it's more about the experience. The gameplay is actually more in-depth than just randomly circling, try to actually end the round with distractions "captured", the you'll actually be playing as intended. Thanks for playing!

Beautiful and meditative, gorgeous artwork too with a unique style.
Great minimalistic design, very stylish! The music is also good, it reminded me of the movie "Hereditary".
wow wow wow. Great concept, but the execution is nothing short of stellar. Definitely one of those "wait, that was made in just 96 hours???" type games. Very polished, very pretty.
Very calming experience! Artwork 100/100 and sound design is very good also.
I was not expecting to experience guided meditation during a game jam. I'm in agreement with other commenters that this is less a game and more an artistic masterpiece. The monkey reminds me of DNA productions' "Hi, im paul." video logo, most commonly remembered from the Jimmy Neutron series. Brilliant game.
Very well done, especially in the art department! I wish the feedback was a bit juicier when circling/destroying your distractions though. Something really satisfying!
Really unique visually, and the sound is superb!
Love the style and trippy effects. Not particularly fun but an enjoyable experience!
Looking through the jam games, I am always amazed at what people can create in just 96 hours. And your submission is the perfect example of this. This game, or perhaps more fittingly experience, is a work of art. The audio and visuals are top notch, and combined with the unique gameplay form this amazing narrative. Thank you for making such an awesome game.
All the comments calling this a work of art have boosted my mood so immeasurably
I like the way you think.
this was so bizzare, but in a good way, a very interesting experience, the aesthetics are amazing
Magnificent. How did this artistic gem get in to this game jam?? Would love to see more!
I love the graphics and the sound!
Absolutely stunning graphics, audio, and vibes
