Your mind is about to turn into something unspeakable and you need to fight it by protecting your brain, or all hope for humanity is lost.
Controls are explained ingame.

I hope you enjoy it.

A bit of the inspiration comes from EdmundM's game Ct.

This game was created with:
Libgdx (Java library), Ableton Live (music/sound creation) and Photoshop(art)

It's a bit strange and i don't really know what to do !

Graphics are freaking awesome!
Though, what it has to do with 'you are the villain' theme?

Game is pretty darn hard. Has an interesting atmosphere to it. But I don't see how it ties into the theme at all. It's more like "You can become the villain", if you lose. Art is nice.

I think the game is so hard because you have to use the keyboard, and it has insane acceleration. Mouse controls would benefit it.

not a bad game - strangely hypnotic - I did complete it... nice mood and great graphic style!

This was nicely done, but I think I'd have preferred mouse control. Nice artwork and sound.

It took a while to get the hang of it - it's p hard to start with. I love the artwork though - really evocative.

As always, superb job on the audio. The atmosphere is fantastic in this one. Love how the audio and visuals work really tightly together. Also great story telling ..

But holy crap it's hard. Was this done on purpose? I struggle to get past 1 minute in this game.. Would love to see more of it if only it was easier. Maybe you could release a post-compo version that's easier to beat?

Wow!
The graphics are incredible!
I liked the gameplay, but couldn't make it past the second stage. Perhaps I'll try again later. Really great job! :)

Great Idea.

Good game, a bit hard nonetheless.
I'm still searching for the villain tought...

Awesome artwork and sound, keep it up. I did not really like the gameplay, but I admit that the quality of the game is very good.

Woha, awesome and creepy graphics! My only complain is that the gameplay is the same (harder, but same mechanic) between each level.

There's some great presentation here, and I really enjoy how the graphics and sound all tie together. I think the keyboard controls don't do it much justice though, as it feels a bit out of control.

Excellent graphics and atmosphere!

Gorgeous static backgrounds, a really nice vibe. There's a potential for something cool here, but as it is, it's not a terribly fun game. (And, as the others have said, it doesn't follow the theme of the contest.)
