I like that you have a strong visual style, well defined core mechanic, and great atmosphere. Only critiques are that it feels like there could have been more events coming out of the darkness than just the giant head (though I imagine that was a result of time constraints), the menu opened by escape should also be able to be closed by escape, and in one or two spots near the start the combination of texture and screen space dithering threw me off. Ending it the way you did was a great idea. Overall a very strong entry.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1129436,"author_name":"Myezko","author_uid":"myezko","epoch":1744110857,"text":"Amazing game, very similar to the one where you climb (i dont remember the name)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1129720,"author_name":"LDJam user 235694","author_uid":"235694","epoch":1744113235,"text":"@myezko Yeah, it was called White Knuckle.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1129862,"author_name":"LDJam user 14887","author_uid":"14887","epoch":1744114245,"text":"Love the visuals","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1130480,"author_name":"Kama","author_uid":"kama","epoch":1744119288,"text":"graphics, atmosphere and audio is the best. in the beginning I don't understand anything, but when some weird thing jumped at me and i realised everything. \nthe only downside the repetitive gameplay. special thanks for the rubber goose ","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1139715,"author_name":"Tomtomgome","author_uid":"tomtomgome","epoch":1744224412,"text":"Great game with good polish, as always.

The loops of holding the button and cooling your hand was simple but effective and built a lot of tension. Was constantly afraid that something was going to attack while my hand was too hot to hold the button. The dark PSX aesthetic plus ambient sounds really set the mood perfectly. The twist at the end where you had to flee the flooding water was cool and used the mechanics in an interesting new way. Was actually a bit surprised the robot didn't show up again during that sequence, although the fear that it would definitely kept me on edge regardless. Overall, very impressive game.
