Such an cute game, puzzles are not too hard, the story is full of emotion and visuals fit perfctly to all of that. At a moment, I thought levels will be composed to make a drawing of the brother or something. Maybe levels who visually match with the text in which case levels can seem a bit repetitive. But just a bit really. But otherwise well done ^-^

How does you game fit the theme?
The game fits the theme through it's narrative and setting. You play in a boys mind, trying to escape his self-forged cage of depression, anxiety, and fear. This cage is not real, and is instead a trap of his own mental creation.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No, the music, sfx, and transitions were taken from assets I bought off of the Unity Asset Store.

Light's pathHey!
First of all, congrats for finishing the game! I have to say, this was so good. I love the music, the visuals, the atmosphere, the puzzles, every bit of it! I tried to speedrun it and I think I managed to finish it pretty fast. You have to make this into a full game, with more story, more puzzles, harder difficulty... I wish it was longer ^_^ It's a very polished and beautiful game, very well done, one of the best!
It would be really awesome to have you playing my game too, if you don't mind of course. ^_^
oh this is so good, the puzzle and the story kept me engaged until the end. the mechanic is so interesting. I really like the way it delivers the text too.
the only two small problem that I had was that I was too engaged into solving the puzzle and I lost a few lines, and I thought the trampoline was a portal at first because the way it looks and I think that the first time they appear you jump from one to the other. not sure if it is even worth noting tho.
this is my favorite entry so far, I really hope you win this!

Coin you see it?Well, it was certainly interesting. Not very challenging but it grabbed my attention and I finished it. Didn't expect to feel sad playing game jam games so I guess your narration hit some sweet spots... Nice job, hope your are doing well!

Totally Real Cult GameI really had a good time with this. Very beautiful vibe, and really solid design work on the puzzles. This is more of a personal taste thing, but I would have appreciated if the gameplay gelled a little more with the story. To me, they felt like two separate entities. Both very good, but kind of in the way of each other. I also wish it was a smidge more challenging -- perhaps limiting the number of moves. But I also think that would get in the way of the story, which further adds weight to my previous point.
Still, I love the escalation of the puzzles and introduction of new mechanics. You understand basic game design principles, and that's a hard thing to get right in a lot of cases. Beautifully done.

Stress CUPacityI almost cried :(
But that aside, it was a fun little game with a simple art style (my favorite), good job! The game didn't really fit the theme much, the story did, but that's fine honestly.
