The level of the personality test really made me laugh quite a bit! XD The controls feel quite good, I missed a little bit more of coyote time, but since the levels are not super hard this didn't affected much anyway. Having a button to die is also quite interesting as a mechanic also XD even though I didnt get to use it for more than just fun. But overall i really liked your game! The writing is clever, the bossa nova sounding on the background is really funny, the art is super cute and it feels good to play!\n\nKeep up the good work!","format":"md","likes":4,"spam":"N"},{"id":1142071,"author_name":"Trevor Lentz","author_uid":"trevor-lentz","epoch":1744269777,"text":"The progression and atmosphere in this jam is actually perfect. The music has that corporate elevator vibe and the personality test after getting used to the feel of the game fit so well. The holographic spikes actually made me think, oh yeah, the previous exposition of \"don't freak out\" actually means something in the context of the world I'm experiencing. I would absolutely love to see how this game progresses if completed. Just think of the possible lower levels that could be explored\/experienced with the assets to match. The only low point of the game is the ending. I am so curious about where this elevator goes and the experiment in general. \n\nRandom extra thought: I felt like I was Kenny from Southpark dying in an orange coat a few times.
