Controls: WASD / Arrow Keys / Mouse / Touch -> Move left/right and jump/duck

\n

A plagued world leaves little hope for those nearing the end of their short lives. An old neon sign has broken in such a way that an urban legend has sprung up. Maybe somewhere within the abandoned strip mall truly lies a cure for death…

I really like the idea of using path of rooms that develop a gameplay.\nReally stylish graphics.

I played this on mobile, but it was difficult to understand the controls. I was able to dodge the first arrow, but not the second. Maye it would be better to separate the touch are into 3 or 4 larger portions, making it easier to control?

\n

The audio is good, and the atmosphere is creepy (which is a good thing considering the theme.)

I didn’t understand what to do. I could move, I could sometimes see some clouds explode (?), but couldn’t make any progress.

Wow!

\n

I like the idea, it reminds me of old games where you have to press exactly at the right time to continue. Incredibly hard but rewarding!

\n

The assets are really simple, but they work well.\nThe music is great, a bit repetitive, but overall ok.

\n

Regarding the controls, a bit confusing that you cannot just stand still and you have to keep going left or right. I would have changed that so that the player moves only when pressing a key!

\n

Got passed the first screen, but then didn’t understand how to continue!

There’s a poetic and esoteric story hiding in there.

I liked the sound of this game.

\n

For me playing on mobile it didn’t do a lot.

\n

I could walk left and right but kept getting shot in the head by an arrow of sorts. This happened multiple times, I seemed to be dead within seconds, with no way to dodge.

\n

I’ll play again on desktop and see if I get any further.

Not sure if I played this right, but i finished the game in 2 minutes after falling down a trapdoor. Quite a different experience this game. The music is really nice.

Really cool graphics, I like the simple use of rounded rectangles to give the spooky vibe. The repetitive music really added to the atmosphere, you did really well to create a feeling with pretty simple stuff so congrats!

\n

I had trouble figuring out the game itself, maybe a slower learning curve into the game so players know a little more what to expect, especially considering this is a game people may not have seen the likes of before.

\n

Otherwise, really cool game and graphics. Nice job!

This was a very surreal game. I think I finished it? I reached some kind of end. Was it the end?

Haha, the end screen reminds of old screen savers
