Simple gameplay, but you do really well on graphics

Great entry! I love that this provides some original thought on what a game can contain, the look it really nice and the mood is also good.

The graphics are quite trippy, and fit well with the music. But the gameplay feels a bit repetitive and also the automatic turning at the end of the corridors was a bit glitchy, so sometimes the player either wouldn't turn (and so would crash into the wall) or would turn too early and get stuck.

The game is really simple, the visuals are amazing! Keep up with that, congrats!

Interesting idea. I question the need to manually press in the correct direction when turning around corners; feels like it should just happen automatically, which would avoid a lot of frustration with turning the wrong way and/or doing a u-turn and then running into a wall, both of which I experienced. The lighting effects were very cool, however they made it very difficult to see which direction you needed to turn in, which added to the confusion.

Really cool vibe though :) You should post some better screenshots of the game in action!
