But of course I am being so analytical and that just ruins it! I really enjoy the brevity and how understated the whole thing is.
The music is strange and very atmospheric. I liked the little "Fuck." quip he had when he got a downer. :P
Try working a little on the controls, cause to me it was a little hard to drag out the sword while moving.
Found a couple of bugs where I got caught on walls. Cool concept but gameplay wasn't quite there for me. Good work for the time limit though!
I was kind of confused why he switched between moods with different pills. Bipolar people don't do that.
I've always wanted to do a wacky game about pychosis like this! I really like the surrealistic feel, the gender-changing (?why?) and the zany graphics. The music in particular is awesome.
A few questions: Why have all my eyeballs rebelled? Why do I change gender? Why does he swear when he gets a key?
One quibble: It's too hard! I ragequit on the second level, the one after the first door.
