Nice design on the colors and font though!
Did you mean to have it end at the "fall into hopelessness" part? To the best of my knowledge you can't get any farther than that (since what I expected, that I'd be able to swap between hard and soft shells and figure out how to float between the spikes, did not work)... but it looked like there was more levels.
Still, I appreciated the message before it became so nihilistic, and the movement and ambiance were good. Also, it was a nice interpretation of the theme... each shell is in a way "beneath" the other, rather than having the usual representation with a single surface. A solid entry.
