Feel Good by Polina Vlasova
How are you feeling? Is the answer positive? Huh, if so, you're a lucky fu**er. We make a game in three days...and we don't sleep at night... Well, if you're really okay, the main character can't boast the same...
Our hero visits a psychologist, but are these meetings any good? Fight against the devils in his head that pull him to evil... again and again making him get on the wrong path. But are the devils the only ones tempting him, or maybe he himself?
Go through several levels until you are completely healed, until you can say "I feel good" from the bottom of your heart

The gameplay part is a bit janky. Like, the feeling of the racket and the bounciness of the ball could be work on. Maybe I did found a bug but when you respawn, the ball is inactive but still inflict damage when collinding. Also, why can we go all around when the gravity is only in one direction? Maybe we are expected to just launch the ball and loose heart? Which is confusing.
Concerning the text, yes it's too slow. No, it's not necessarily a problem, at first I thought you wanted us to feel the pain of the character, and I kind of like that. In an other hand, it's seems you animate your text by adding the letter one by one, which create some strange artefact when you write a word at the end of the line and it suddenly switch line. The best it to animate the alpha of the letters.
Anyway, I really want to stress that I like the mood. It's a good gamejam result in my book.
Overall, a very interesting submission.
Also I like the way the background changes on the last level, and the ending was nice. Good job!
Even tough i couldnt figure out why the "Control Button" function was needed to win the game.
Nice, surreal game!
