Rock Bottom is a game of adventure and puzzles in which you will control Josh Swain, a man who will delve into his deepest memories that have haunted him since he was a child.

By immersing yourself in those dreams, you will fight against every scary memory so that you can change your boring routine, at least when you sleep. Hurry up before the floor collapses: you may not fall until you defeat what haunts you!

Truly the Josh Swain of video games. I really like the mood the game sets up (Artstyle really helps in that department!), though the gameplay was confusing at times. Overall pretty good stuff

I love the mood and concept of this game, but I couldn't get past the void parkour part, as I would die trying to use the pogo stick. Still very fun overall.

I enjoyed playing this. I did feel like the scroll wheel toolbar was weird but I can't put my finger on why exactly (maybe I'm just tired). I liked the music.

Nice atmosphere, and it's a neat perspective to have 3D platforming from, but it works pretty well! It felt like a pretty big setback to go all the way to the beginning while jumping between small platforms, but overall really nice entry, especially for a first submission for some of the team!

I loved it! It is very entertaining and makes me want to continue playing, but it doesn't have more levels: C.

pd: how stressful it is when monsters lock you up>: C.
Good game.

It was a fun game and I thinks it's a cool concept. I can't play very much of it though because there's no left-handed controls.

I loved the music, and the whole atmosphere is very well created and posed. The concept is quite original, a pity that there is no more development in levels
Maybe I would add more music or sounds because the ending was a bit quiet, but I liked it.

I really like the top-down jumping mechanics, and the game felt smooth and polished to play. There are a few game-breaking bugs, mainly losing your current item when picking up another, but after trial and error to avoid those, I had a lot of fun!

Overall quite a fun game. I loved the music, and I was sad when the dog level didn't have any. I also really liked the random aspect. If I were to add one thing it would be a restart level feature. I got forced into a corner by the dogs with no way to die. Eventually, I jumped around enough in that one square that it fell away under me, but otherwise I would have had to restart from the beginning. After it happened a second time, I decided it would take too long to die so I moved on.

Great work!

Simple and fun game, and I liked the darker mood. Favorite thing was how you used the floor slowly falling away to push the player to hurry instead of just slapping a traditional timer on it.

Only issue I had was on the first level I forgot to select a different item slot before picking up the second item, which caused the first one to just vanish. It's a pretty minor issue but sucks when it happens.

I liked the game, although I did not understand how to get through the place where you need to jump on the platforms at the beginning. The number of uses of the hook is not enough, and what the speaker for is not clear. It would be nice to write somewhere the remaining number of uses and a small description of the items. Also, the story written before the game started quickly disappeared and I didn't have time to read it whole. For convenience, you can add a button, by pressing which, the game will start and the player will have time to read and understand everything. But still great work! I especially liked the music :)

Great work! There's a lot of good ideas here. I love the top down perspective, the item pick up, the graphics look great, the sound/music add a lot to the athmospere. The story idea is really interesting. However I couldn't get past the jumping puzzle in the beginning :D. Still, I did enjoy the little I played and would love to see a more polished version! Well done!

Couldn't solve the first puzzle where I was given a hook and a speaker. The hook can be used only twice which is weird because it seems like you can't solve the puzzle without it. Anyways, I liked the visuals and the music! The mood is pretty nice too

Amazing! Didn't expect to be able to jump in a game with this perspective. Graphics and music are really good. Great work!!

I very much liked the creepy atmosphere to it but the jumping really was a bit problematic, at least for me. Took me a while to figure out how the grappling hook worked . Here's my time with it on my stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1oYMc95du8
