"Addict." is a simple platformer game about drug addiction.

/!\ Warning photosensitive content /!\

Our first volontee was to create an experience instead of a skilled game. It means that our game will not challenge your skills but your feelings. We will use the gameplay as a way to let the play pass through several emotions or feeling that an addict could feel.

Have a nice journey and remember: don't let your addiction control your mind.

We hope you will enjoy yourself and we would love to hear your feebacks !

Very fun game. I love the idea, sound and camera work. Well done!
Only the platformer controls are not perfect. But still good, considering the short amound of time.
All in all an amazing experience.

The Try-out. The Great Rush. The Breakdown. Really funny game and awesome idea. But the jumping is awful..

Very close-up camera for such jerky movements when jumping, never felt slight motion sickness from a non-vr game before :smile: cool game all the same. As others have said, bit rocky on the platforming, but the artistry was definitely given precedence and thats fine too.

Great visuals and music, nicely done !
I think you can make the platforming a bit better by adding a coyote time on the jump, allowing to jump slightly after leaving a platform. When the game is under strong distortions, it can be hard to be precise on the jump timing

Very nice visuals. The music does fit well. The controls are a bit fiddly (e.g. space for jump would have helped me. Or better controller support.

For a while I thought I had got so high I was never gonna come down again! That turned out not to be the case though :laughing:

I like the way this game expresses its ideas, and that it has ideas worth expressing. It reminds me of the animated short "Nuggets" a bit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUngLgGRJpo

Good use of theme and interesting core gameplay conceit. I had issues with the camera moving around so much though. Its very jarring that the camera moves around so much when the player jumps.

I loved the trippy visuals and the music was on point.

Loved the colours used. Jumping was a bit wonky though.

Cool. Like the camera zooming in and out. And "trip" was awesome as well as the calm down!

Great entry! Fits right into the theme with a original concept.

The only complaint is the jump motion, in my opinion the camera shakes a bit too much.

Overall great game!

@randomhuman Yeah that was totaly the vibe we wanted to transmit through the game, It was one of our references :)

Incredible polish regarding how it feels, super nice work on the post processing aspect and the camera movement, really well done and super unsettling

I thought it was really cool, but the camera could be smoother on the jump.

ow my eyes. Great idea but the drug effect was just a *bit* much to play for extended times

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream to check out Monday night. If you'd like to watch my play again you can find the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1005053853

I didn't anticipate the drugs mini-theme this Jam, but perhaps I should have.

Pretty nice! The camera did feel a little weird, especially when jumping, and it made it a bit hard to control at times, but usually it was fine. I really liked how the controls (like speed, and jump force) changed while on drugs, it could work for some cool levels. It is also a pretty interesting take on the theme! Graphics and sound were really good as well, and I especially liked the effects while on drugs and after them, they made you feel the game more. So overall, a really good game. Congrats!

Wow I was NOT expecting this at all for your game. Very nice way of displaying cause and effect. Dark but very gritty and real. Music and other elements like the graphics and game play all mirror this. Jumping did have some challenge but no more than some of the other published games I have played out there. Great job team
