This is our first ever Ludum Dare Game Jam submission, unfortunately I (as the programmer) didn't get to finish it as I am very pushed for time with University Exams approaching and my slightly awkward time zone as a Kiwi (New Zealand).

An HTML 5 export was meant to be included, however it is still buggy so I won't be able to get it up in time for the Game Jam.

Either way I hope any one who gives it ago gets a bit of enjoyment out of it and please feel free to give criticism.

Credits can be found in the Windows download zip.

Your art is impressive!! I love purple, I love the smooth visual style, I love pixel art! I loved to see it!

Nice take on the theme! From the screenshots you can't just understand the game. You've got to play the game to enjoy it. :)

This thing about switching between the "cruel reality" and imagination is really nice and could be worked upon more.

Maybe not dying, but difficulty to escape increases, for example.

Anyway, really nice for a first entry! Congrats! :)

Nice! A really original take on theme. Great graphics. Getting those SFX in would have been nice but the music (especially as the monster) is spot on.

Fuck those wardrobes. Very dark and creative concept. The controls are a bit awkward, but the fun of smashing buildings makes up for it.

Fun concept but there needs to be more tanks or have the helicopters dip lower more often so I don't get stuck at one point for too long.

Really neat idea behind this one! The controls seemed a tad janky at times (eg I couldn't divekick a building as the monster if I was right next to it), but overall fun and it was nice that the game was balanced so I had to keep switching between reality and fantasy!

The game was alright. I loved the animations. There were a few collision issues that made the game a little more frustrating to play, and my download had some weird bugs with it. After I lost the first time, mice would jitter and bounce backwards, and the doctors didn't spawn the second time round. Still, a nice entry with great graphics.

Art is rad, very interesting idea! It's a shame you couldn't do more with it.

I love this game!, very original and funny. I get surprised when I pushed shift button. Congrats!

Awesome concept! SFX sure would be nice, but oh well. Art is great, music is cool. Mechanics are interesting but a bit... weird? I mean, you get the tank, which was a mouse, and then it's a syringe...? And in the imagination world the nurse doesn't exist...? Still, very creative xp
Some more gameplay would be nice, like more stages or level progression. Collision needs some polishment too
I also find very amusing the rat trembling like in fear xp

Anyway, great work!

Cool idea, but the controls are a little bit uncomfortable. Maybe making the gameplay more smooth as a monster would help a lot. Overall, cool entry =)

Loved being able to switch to your delusion as a monster and back to the patient. Couldnt get throwing to work though. Good job!
