WASD / AZSD / arrow keys to move. <Space> to go through walls.
Find every keys (blue rectangles) and go to the exit (purple rectangle) to complete each levels. Avoid turret's bullets (orange rectangle) and enemies rushing at you (white rectangle).
Tools used : Haxe, HaxePunk, Circuli for sounds, Gimp, FlashDevelop

Wow, that was... psychedelic? Great game, the mood is quite mysterious, gameplay seems simple at the beginning but gets real funny when you figure what you can do with this going through walls functionality. Love the different colours. Terrific! 5/5 overall.
Great idea, i really like to be able to go through wall, it's a very clever thing for avoiding the bullets and enemy.

Original concept with great visuals, andhe ominous music is a nice touch! But sometimes, the white rectangle is barely visible (white light too bright, stripes, etc.)
Could've used a little explanation in the beginning, but once I got what was going on it was quite an entertaining little game. Nice graphical style too.
Fantastic! Oddly enough the raytracing-effect could either be some kind of lighting (if it depends on the player position) or a 3D effect for walls that are pretty high (if it depends on the camera position). Since the camera is bound to the player however, it's impossible to know which of the two things it is. If you know what I mean. Just thought that was an interesting find.. :D
Excellent ! The best notes I gave so far. Still, here's some feedback.
What I loved : - atmosphere - artistic approach / theme relation - game design/level design (the feeling your a ghost and can escape everywhere)
What imo could be improved : - music (get annoying after some time) - controlled element size (even if centered, it's eye destroyer) - end / collectable color (blue and violet are hard to distinguish)
I wanted to keep playing, but by the time I was several levels in, my framerate was unplayably low. I really liked the mechanic, the sound, and the colors, though.
That is pretty neat. I liked thinking about where the hidden areas where, and "my face when" I figured out I could use the small blocks to kill the big ones :-)
There are a few graphical glitches that you might want to look into - I found a few "outside" areas that were rendered as "inside" if you looked at them the right way.
Cheers, and thanks for the game! I went all the way to the end.
Nice concept. The keys looked virtually the same as the exit on some levels and I think the player was a bit small. Also the raycast light seemed to be a bit buggy in some places. Great job though.
It was hard to figure out what to do without any instruction. Also, you don't always know which wall can be traversed or not. Overall, the game has amazing visual effects and fits the theme perfectly. Great job!

Brilliant idea and execution. You get all my stars!
Not sure spacebar is really needed though, might have been better to just automatically enter the next room?

They did have some glitches at times, but it was great.
