Annoyingly excellent

The best frustrating game I’ve played. Simple but fun, I kept wanting to come back. Ads are a little annoying but definitely not the worst!

review

this is an absolutely awesome game, fun little challenge that are sometimes frustrating but it feels good when you do them, and the story is gripping!

Mind blow

I really haven’t been paying attention to the story.
But I see now. These games really can mess with your head.

Reminds me of manhunter 2 story wise or this one games from the. 90s.

It’s like psychological horror games. Totally messes your head up I would say.

Anyways, I just play for the challenge. I think I am content.

Good job.

Sorry I hardcore disrespected your previous game. I was too harsh.

You know these games do have theming and a consistent good quality I would say.

Needed more oven time

Interesting game but the quality of the levels and is not enough to warrant to incredible amount of ads you get shoved down your throat. Story was interesting but dialogue was generic and the game I was playing didn’t feel as scary as the character was making it seem. The debug mini game wasn’t frequent or challenging enough to be interesting, should have had a move limit. And near the end you introduce more bullet hells that were fun but the limitation of the level size just doesn’t make them or the platforming fun. The limitation don’t make it more challenging it just feels annoying on purpose. Would play similar games and excited to see what else you’ve worked on.

Edit: Realized I’ve played your other platformer and while I liked those more, it still feel annoying on purpose at times. If you make a good game people will pay for it, I’m not paying for a complicated way of watching ADs.

Adjust Player Speed and Control

The player feels way too fast and slippery. When I press the arrow key, it moves so quickly I can’t control where it’s going :(
