I really liked the visuals and the music. I just wish the story was better explained in gameplay. I had to read the description to understand what the hell was going on... Also, as some others have mentioned, a quicker "recovery" from a failed attempt would encourage trying all endings.
Nice job!

SoledadGreat visuals and parallax scrolling on some elements when zooming in and out. Bit short, but a nice idea as a base for a game.

ObstacontrolIt took me a while to get the pun of "out of control", nicely done hahaha!
The art and music were very charming! Too bad it was too short, it would be interesting to see some different situations!
Also it would be nice to make it faster to recover from a failed attempt, it seems the kind of game that I'd like to intentionally fail just to see what would happen! A shorter cycle would encourage that kind of gameplay!

The OrbWonderful art and charming characters - the concept is solid and artfully done. As one of my earlier rated entries, I hadn't yet realized that many people were interpreting "out of control" as literal "controls", so it took me a moment to realize that the characters here were personified keyboard controls (or hotkeys, haha).
There's certainly some potential for bolding, cutting, and copying/pasting into situations, and as such this entry definitely seems primed for a more complete version. I'd be interested to see where you take it :)

Sky DrifterI think I would have enjoyed a few more rounds (but I mean, I know time restraints are a thing), but its a cute idea! I will say though that the scene of them walking is a bit too slow, especially if you are restarting and have to watch it again. I would either give the option to skip the animation or make the scene a bit faster. Im interested to see a longer version if you guys decide to continue it after the jam!

Ctrl-QHey Dreamtale!
Very nice art and fun concept to play with.
Being impatient i would like a faster retry time when i fail. Ability to restart to after all the animations, because restarting the whole game and rewatching everything is a bit tedious.
Other than that nice art, music and use of parallax.
If you have time I would love it if you could try my game and give feed back. Its called Drone.
