Great entry! I love that this provides some original thought on what a game can contain, the look it really nice and the mood is also good.

The graphics are quite trippy, and fit well with the music. But the gameplay feels a bit repetitive and also the automatic turning at the end of the corridors was a bit glitchy, so sometimes the player either wouldn't turn (and so would crash into the wall) or would turn too early and get stuck.

Interesting idea. I question the need to manually press in the correct direction when turning around corners; feels like it should just happen automatically, which would avoid a lot of frustration with turning the wrong way and/or doing a u-turn and then running into a wall, both of which I experienced. The lighting effects were very cool, however they made it very difficult to see which direction you needed to turn in, which added to the confusion.

Really cool vibe though :) You should post some better screenshots of the game in action!
