It seems to activate 2 player all the time, yet I can't control the second player :/ Needs to be fixed. Liked the humor though.

Loved the graphics and sound design, although i didn't really understand the game. I kept dieing in like 1 second. I assumed "Keep your attention in the center of your mind" meant that you were meant to stay in the middle of the screen? but that didnt seem to do anything else. But i really did enjoy the graphics and the audio, good job!

Like the graphics, sound, and comedic timing. In 1 player mode, is was a little confusing to understand which player was receiving punishment or a point. Maybe using a special color in the monk model to distinguish between the player and NPC ,omk could help?

I think the goal is to find the hidden "hot spot" where the image you are moving becomes clear.

Seems to be 2 player mode no matter what you choose. As the second player can't be controlled (at least I didn't find out how) he always falls asleep.
I guess the message is: You can't control others and one alone can never reach satori? :)

I like the graphics. The instructions are pretty terrible and it's incredibly unclear what is happening. There are typos in the interface as well, and the unskippable cutscenes make the game a lot more frustrating than it needs to be.

Hey I'm on a mac and I don't have a keypad also I don't have a num lock... lol

I might suggest changing those to WASD and the arrow keys...

Otherwise though, everything else (art/sound) is great!

interesting plot concept and great cinematics. but why would you ever waste time on two-player mode? it's just pointless. such art deserves better gameplay.

Never knew zen could be so trippy. :P
Would be cool to see harder NPC and "distractions".
