Cute game! I like the style and narration. But over time it becomes a little but laggy in browser. I think that's is because raycasts. Controls are not so comfortable and corresponding (maybe because of lagging), anyway good job!

Wow this lab has some bad security, some enemies would be cool if you develop it further! Nice Job!

I liked this mechanic initially, I don't think I've seen it executed in this way before. I thought the story snippets were nice, it must have been hard to do that stuff within the 48 hours. I actually wanted a bit more - like what was going on with this place and why we were there, so that's good.

I got to the level where there's a tiny gap between the sensors and tried it several times, but I found the timing was really tight on that and I couldn't do it. It was an interesting variation on the mechanic (e.g. having to jump at a certain time), but the timing was so precise I couldn't get past it. I'm not that great at precision platforming though, so maybe it's just me. I like the idea.

Overall, I liked it, and I think if you cleaned up the graphics and fleshed out the content (i.e. one or two breaks from the sensors), you could have a really neat atmospheric experience.
