I wish I'd had a game like this when I was a kid; I probably would have sunk countless hours into it. Regarding my experience playing it: Sometimes enemies get stuck when they're too close to trees. There are some assassins... I guess it was a dungeon (though I couldn't enter any buildings) that appears cut off. And perhaps it would be good to balance the difficulty a bit more to make it more challenging, because by the time I reach level 3, just upgrading the shuriken, I practically don't even have to move.

Thanks for playing and sharing your experience. It helps me with future updates and polishing. The ideas you mentioned were things I was debating whether to add or not; I guess I'll give them a try.

Game Page

A visual novel developed entirely by a single person, this psychological horror game with a dark humor inspired by Homunculus tells the story of a man who undergoes a rare procedure involving drilling into his skull, resulting in his confinement in a psychiatric hospital. The game features multiple endings and some secrets, though a normal playthrough lasts around half an hour.

This is a really interesting game despite being something so simple.

I don't understand this game, but it's very relaxing; I think I've already "won".

This game is so addictive, I haven't even realized I've been playing for an hour xd

It's better to have a little, but something done with intention and care, than a lot, but poorly done. Besides, style is more important than technical "quality."

I was so scared that I had to hug my teddy bear

Wow, me siento muy halagado de que alguien haya hecho un gameplay de tu juego, te lo agradezco un monton <

Thanks for trying the game and sharing your experience. I'm already thinking about improving the music, yes. I don't know exactly how to configure controller support, but it's something I'll keep in mind for the future. And well, it's my first platformer, and it's helped me learn the fundamentals of how a game like this should be designed. Regarding the large trap gap, I'm not sure which level you're referring to because I recently added some updates with new levels and fixes to existing ones, but I'll take a look at those as well. Thanks again for your feedback <3

I take it I understand that the main mechanic is the tides; it's an original idea. It will probably look much better with a bit more polish.

I haven't been to space, but I still think the movement is very well simulated, and I love how the environment looks; it's very beautiful and relaxing to play.

It's probably because it's a game jam, but I noticed that the game's resolution can't be adjusted, and the elements on the screen don't scale.

Thanks for your feedback; what you're saying is really helpful. Perhaps I haven't given enough thought to the game's artistic cohesion in a way that incorporates a micro-narrative or something similar, and I could explore that further. Regarding the gameplay suggestions, I'll keep them in mind for future updates.

thanks for playing and for sharing your experience, i'm glad you liked it <3

The menus overlap, and pressing space doesn't do anything. But it's fun once you get the hang of it; I like that they're bright neon lights.

I have absolutely no idea about the jam's theme, but judging by its aesthetic, I'm convinced a drum and bass track would be perfect. I'm a total noob at producing; I use Bandlab and I really just go by what sounds good to me. I just want to help anyone who needs it <3

I expected to be scared, but I've been rickrolled

I find the way the character moves around the map interesting; it's a good system.

I like art; I'm a fan of the contrast where it looks cozy but is also creepy.

thanks for trying it and sharing your experience! I'm glad you liked the art :D
the default controls are in the controls menu on the main screen. On mobile, the dash is activated with B, and on PC, it's configured by default with M. Without the dash, the game isn't even a game XD

*THE CODE ASSET IS INCLUDED AMONG THE FILES ON MY GAME PAGE*

After completing my one-eyed shinobi cat platformer in just one month, I decided to polish and release the underlying codebase as a reusable template for Godot 4.5. What started as a game jam-style project evolved into a production-ready foundation that any 2D platformer developer can drop into their own game.

The core is a complete state machine system handling both player and enemy behaviors. The player controller features tight platforming mechanics—coyote time, variable jump height, air control, knockback physics, and a full hurt/invulnerability system. Enemy AI follows a patrol-wait-fall-dead cycle with natural ledge detection and respawn logic.

Supporting systems include floating collectibles that extend level timers, ping-pong moving platforms with constant-speed motion, and a level manager that handles win/lose conditions, multi-stage progression, and automatic collectible tracking via Godot groups. A CanvasLayer HUD syncs health, objectives, and countdown timers in real time.

Everything uses CharacterBody2D physics consistently, with exported variables for easy tweaking in the inspector. The code prioritizes readability with English comments explaining design decisions rather than obvious operations.

This template contains zero assets—pure GDScript ready for your sprites, audio, and levels. It's the exact system that powered a polished 30-minute game, now available for anyone building their own platformer. Positive reception will drive future expansions like dash mechanics and advanced enemy types.
