I win ! I love it, it plays on our own impatience and encourages us to take risks instead of waiting. Really great idea !

Great little game. Art and music are nice and simple, and the concept fits the theme really well! I really like the black and white pixel art.

This is a really fun game, I could see myself getting addicted. Hitbox on the Pylon was a little funny but overall. Really cool direction with the theme.

Love it a lot, how you choose your own difficulty with waiting. Very unique, great job!

Freeeeedom! A lovely, and succinct game, the music made *waiting* tolerable -- I did it, I definitely touched the Pylon XD.
Nice work!

I liked the idea of the game, simple but beautiful art and music are impressive

Nice pixel art! The music is nice too. The controls are a little hard to use though.

The music somehow fit perfectly being calm and relaxed but also intense somehow? The movement felt a bit too touchy, I ran straight into the shuriken(?) several times expecting to stop before it. Overall I had a lot of fun trying to escape after touching the pylon over and over, nice job!

Simple but fun, Reminds me of disk room. I like how it uses the limited space and boredom to make the player choose when to to risks.

The main feedback would be that sometimes the spikes spawn in such a way that you can't easily avoid them. But of course it's hard to balance things properly in a game jam.

10/10 would touch the pylon again.

The music and artwork fit well and the idea is original!

Reminds me of that experiment where people were left alone in a room for 10 minutes (or however long) and were given the option to shock themselves and like 70% people or something choose to shock themselves just cause they were bored :D. Was that an inspiration?

Now speaking about the game, I really like the minimalistic artstyle -- it looks super nice! And the music was really great, loved that! Btw, I touched the pylon many times :D. I also wonder what this cat/dog did to be put into prison.

A fun game, but I feel like there was something I didn't really "get". Was I trying to break out of the prison? Was there some theme that I was missing? I was interested, but I wish I could experience more out of the game. Which I suppose is a great thing from a game jam! Overall, very well done.
