First game that I've made. A short visual exploration game. The canvas grows and shrinks as Derek moves between stages. Using a two-button control system, control his movement and some visual effects. Inspired by a quote I saw.

Interesting. Like a surrealist painting. :)

Alluring piece, I felt quite hopeless playing. The transitions seem unnecessarily abrupt. The music was meant to be distorted, I presume?

Thanks! Yes. If I knew more I would have the layout changes preserve acceleration and position or at least put a fade between scenes. Maybe in the morning I'll tweak it some.

That's quite an interesting game. There isn't much gameplay to it, but it's good for a first game, and may many more follow :D

An interesting game, I love the art style and the overall feeling the game gives you.

very atmospheric. Loved the environment. Only thing is I wanted more :)

Thanks guys! Yeah, I burned through it really quickly (something like 6 hours) because I'm getting married this upcoming weekend and knew I wouldn't have much more time haha! Maybe I'll add some more screens post-jam.

A strange game. Definitely more an art piece, which isn't a bad thing! I felt like I had no control and just drifted along.

I don't understand what I've just played.
