Start with nothing...
Your CPU crashed and your game is now showing only binary code! Don't worry, you can collect updates in the game and unlock the graphics and audio. BUT be careful - if an enemy hits you, you will lose your progress and you will have to install them again!
Hints: When you hear the witch laugh, stop move! Frankenstein is surely big, will he still be big in binary form?

I really dig that aesthatics btw
I did get stuck on the second level - I'm not so good at blind mapping, and the witch was disorienting to work around.
The art in the main menu kind of promises me more visual treat when I start the game, but the game world starts constructed with 1's and 0's, which is somewhat disappointing.
Having the number 1 as both, walls and enemies is a bit confusing to me personally. I kind of understand that the binary world consist only of these two. Maybe you could color the enemy 1's differently? Or have them as a bug in the system and be presented with some other symbol. It's your world, you can bend the rules. :wink:
I'm not totally getting how the game jumps from the binary into the visual world and what is the connection, if I don't read the game description. You could try explaining the connection inside the game more clearly, so player don't have to rely on the meta elements to figure things out.
Personally I enjoy the art style great deal. Besides Don't Starve it reminds me of the upcominghttps://twitter.com/fluckyMachine game. I think it's the strong suit and should be focused more on.
Hope this feedback helps you. :pray:
Then later down the road in game when the switches were being made from cartoonish world to binary aND VICE VERSA, MY MIND WAS BLOWN BY THE AMOUNT OF CREATIVITY YOU GUYS PUT INTO THEESE THINGS MAN. sO MUHC TO LEARN ! Oh, and I Loved the music. Amazing.
