How does your game fit the theme?
The centrepiece of the game is the double pendulum, an incredibly erratic and unpredictable structure that swings wildly and out of control. The double pendulum has no predictible movements, instead you have to accept your lack of control of its motion and to embrace its chaos to survive.

This game was a ton of fun, I loved the unique concept and the absolute panic inducing stress of running around that tiny room in a desperate attempt to escape the pendulum's grasp! I did managed to get down to eight seconds in one playthrough (spammed x so I have no photographic evidence), and I am very curious if anyone was able to survive for 60 seconds. Regardless, definitely one of the stand out games of the jam for me, and easily a personal favorite!! Great job.
Very nice idea and very challenging! Didn't survive even by mistake. It's definitely in the theme of the jam, but for the future I would reduce difficulty a bit or it will just frustrating after a while.
very fun little game! i think you should punish hugging the walls more, one time i got full 60 seconds just by hugging the left wall. also, once the pendulum speeds up past a certain point, its movement becomes too predictable. i found that the first 30 seconds were much harder than the last 30 seconds. overall though, this is a superbly creative game and perfectly executed. great job :)
