The subconscious world is intricately connected with the conscious. Our thoughts determine our path, whether we realize it or not. Master your confidence to rid your mind of negativity. Keep an eye on your movement through the conscious world - events can affect your subconscious as well. How far can you balance your two worlds?
Controls are WASD and arrows to move and space to pause.
In the subconscious world, hit negative thoughts to destroy them. The columns all thoughts stand on affect the direction the conscious player moves. Steer it towards or away from pickups and make sure to stay near the center.
I really liked the concept of this game. I think it can help a lot of people. The only thing is I was confused at first if I should hit the negative thoughts or not? Maybe have positive thoughts to hit and negative thoughts to kill? idk. Very fun pacman like game with an awesome theme! Good job!
I guess I'm pretty bad because I didn't see any pattern. I'm also pretty bad because I thought this was real-time at first xD.
I loved the concept, very clever, and the theme featured very well here. Needless to say, sound, graphics, and general ambiance made this a great game instead of a good game. Good job!
Interesting concept. Once I understand how it worked, it was pretty fun for awhile. I could see that gameplay mechanic being fleshed out into a full game.
Very trippy and weird. I like it! I wasn't always quite sure how my movements would translate into the other world in the background, or exactly which thing would be best to do. E.g. did I even have to destroy those black things or could I just keep going?
Nice game! I like that it gets very frustrating later on, just like it would be dealing with the mind. A pretty unique design to the game too! Text at the bottom was maybea bit distracting?
I liked the idea with the "outside" and "inside" world- I never did understand the numbers in the middle below, but got mine well over a hundred- Don't know if that is good or bad :P
Great Game with pretty cool idea and gameplay and graphics and sound!!! What more can be asked for ?? I really liked how background affects in gameplay!Good job!!
Original and creative, very well done! I like how abstract the game feels at first and you are not clear on the objective but the drive and rules of the game are unfolding slowly as you play. Great.
Love your use of two worlds. I included it in part 21 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/5xO0Ucfr9co
Didn't understand anything during my first try, but on my second try, after figuring out the mechanics, I got to 300 steps before quitting, because it didn't seem to be getting any harder.
I like the audio and graphics. Everything seemed to work well. I just couldn't grasp the mechanic very well. Seems like I'm in the minority though. Good job.

I quite liked the audio as well, well done. :)

You will get a game over if you allow too many negative thoughts to stay alive. They also affect your move direction, so that can be a problem!
In the post-compo version I'll be sure to include a better tutorial and add some harder enemies in the late game.

The different "gameplays" intertwine really nicely, reminds me of this other entry (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-30/?action=preview&uid=41177), where you could control bacteria via Conway's Game of Life. Cool aesthetics too!
