I found five "T" schemas and 2 dialog boxes, but I don't know what to do with that.. neither with my character.
@reef: Door. Border. Garden. House. Path. Tree.
Hover over with a mouse and there should be an effect spawn ... Prepare for much anticlimactic-ness. It currently has no payout... Wall collisions are the WORST right now and I love how they make the guy phase. Glad you "saw" something in the game!
@karreg. I made it and I still don't understand it. I get to Watch anyone else who comes across this little fella scratch their heads too and I think that's neat. I should have done more Beta Testing!
I have no idea, what you created here. Not a clue about the story/message. And now I read above it basically is the same for you too? This is so weird. Where did it come from? Did you create it in a dream?
I have no idea, what this is about. Or why it was compelling and, yes, fun. Really fun. But it's beautiful. And I love it.
My biggest fear is that people won't get (which I don't either. At all.) and for that might rate you lower than you deserve(i.e.: high).
I saw this on the feed, and well, it was certainly something! **From reading your posts and the comments above I can see this was more of an experimental and playing-around-with-ideas sort of game, and I think it serves its purpose as just that!** Here's hoping making this little project achieved its purpose for you to move forward with your personal work.
It was curious to click around and try to find the different things and puzzles that were interactable. The graphics, which seem to be your speciality, were also very appealing and I really liked the palette that you went for! The little jokes, the guy fieri quote and everything else were also great humorous and I had a fun time with it given its scope and goals. Thanks for it! **Cheers! :whale:**

I am very curious how you did the win screen. Was that from memory?
