Loved it!
I really love the whole game especially the art and music! My only problem was that because of the way the camera was positioned jumping was hard. But other than that it was great!

How does you game fit the theme?
You're playing in a purgatory/dreamscape environment, where anything goes and the rules of reality may not be consistent
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code/assets were created by the developers, Tagtart and McJimbles, except for the player drop shadow and outline shader which were free assets

I like the mechanic of using your previous body to progress, that's neat. Art and pixel art on the level number smiley guy and the mural look great. All the smiles and the puppies on the wall and such really drive home that underlying eerie and sterile feeling of being tested and examined. Plus, those chairs in the window. Solving puzzles felt rewarding and the music was atmospheric. I like this game a lot!
I did get frustrated with the inviso-maze though, it's pretty disorienting. If that was what you were going for though, it worked out. Either way, good job on this game especially in 7 days.

My Pal, BumbloHappy to be your 20th rater! This was really fun to play, I really liked the child-like aesthetic of the environment and the stick figure animations. When I first died, I thought it's a nice little addition that your dead body (or previous contestant) remains in the game, then it turned out to be part of a puzzle later, so good job on that!
My only issue with it was the WASD movement with the isometric view, it's always hard to jump in directions that always require two keys plus the jump button.

Simulation SimulatorThis is a cool game with a lot of room to grow with new level ideas and mechanics. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Not sure how well it fits the theme but otherwise a really good game.

Incipient Foesto be honest, by looking at the photos I wasn't expecting it to be this much fun. I really enjoyed it. but I guess I died too many times :) (35 times in 12 minutes).
