What would you want your final thoughts to be? Would you deny or accept your fate.

Created in about 2 hours, and should only take about 2 minutes to play. Depending on your score, you will receive slightly different end screens. Works best in Chrome or Firefox.

Hover over thoughts with your mouse.
Red thoughts increase your score.
Don't Struggle...it'll only make things worse.

I hope you enjoy.

Not really clear, got it after 5 goes or so. Rather depressing. But a good effort for how long you spent on it

I had a hard time to figure out the game play. Plus for the trippy sun.

Awesome experience! The breathing was perfect, the heart brought the point home, and the lingering message was extremely well communicated. Great game!

It's true that it is a bit heavy and at the same time, an interesting experience.

Not much to say about it, it just does the proper job it was set to do in the short amount of time it was made.

So, congrats on making a submission for the compo ;)

Based on your screenshot above, the game is not working correctly for me. I don't see the texts, just floating black boxes. Then when I hover over them the words become visible, but because of this I have no way to earn a high score because I can't tell in advance if the phrase is a positive or negative one.

Another very interesting idea, it definitely affected me as it got closer to the end. I guess it was weird to have a score though, I'd rather have just experienced it. Very unique little game

Thanks for the comments everyone.

@BadgerPriest
I'm sorry to hear about the bugs. I haven't experienced the issue you described on any major browser or OS. Could you confirm that your graphics card drivers are up to date?

Nice concept! I liked the mood, but it was hard to figure which sentences I had to take or not. Anyway, good job! :)

Cool idea! I just wish it was clearer what was good or bad. I always thought that you should pursue accepting thoughts. I never knew if the 'Mom', 'Dad', 'My Family' thoughts would mean the good memories you had with your relatives or just shouts of unnacceptance.

Great concept, I like the "game within a game" touch, also it is a nice double-take on the theme (literal and figurative),
However I'm not so sure how to play, should I just take the blue ones? But you said the red one also give scores?

Also, it wasn't so easy for me to distinguish between the right and wrong statement though, maybe it is with the rush also.
Statement may come too fast, maybe you could have made it more progressive at the start.

Doesn't really work for me - can't see the text behind the sun. (Not rating)

Interesting concept, it really passed on a message. I just think the "searching for thoughts" gameplay isn't aproppriate for the message being passed. Great job anyway!
