The sound cues are such a small detail but they really help. The art and music are not only gorgeous but give this kind of \"soothing\" aspect to the game that I love! Really solid entry with a simple but nicely explored concept that really fits the theme, you guys did a fantastic job. The only thing (very small detail), is that I feel that the levers are always quite hard to spot from a visual perspective. Sometimes I found them more by feel (as in, a lever \"should\" be here) rather than by spotting them. Hope this makes sense. But that's just me being very nitpicky on what is a basically perfect game and very impressive entry for a game jam.

Nice graphics and audio - pretty atmospheric.\n\nSome remarks:\n1. Levers are not really visible. Expectation: more colorful levers.\n2. Pretty intricate control scheme. Accidental teleportations happen pretty frequently. Expectations:\n2.1. Key for teleportation is far enough of jump key.\n2.2. Automatic teleportation happens instead of death after time left.\n3. \"Play again\" button doesn't work.

It was so polished, and pretty, and it was a great experience overall. The mechanic of only having so much time outside your body was great - although it did feel like more of a chore at some points. Especially at the sections where there was a hard jump to make, having to go back and reset every time was a bit tedious. Still, it was implemented well, and nothing about it felt too unfair or challenging. The abilities you gain throughout the game were all fun to use, and they helped add to a sense of progression. Some of them felt like they were there for a one-time use only - the explosion did feel a bit gimmicky - but they were a nice addition nonetheless. I enjoyed all of the different puzzles and rooms in the game as well, there was a lot of content for a game jam game!\n\nI found the artwork stunning as well. The sprites and environment were all really well made (and some of the paintings were ...interesting?), and the black and white colour scheme did make it feel more dream-like. The blue glowing when using your abilities was very nice looking too and it made the whole thing feel more ethereal. One complaint I have is that the levers are a little hard to see - though as you've already said, some blue light could've made them stand out more. The effects added that extra bit of visual flavour to the game too. As for the sound design and music, it was wonderful. The music was a great match for the feel of the game, and didn't feel too intrusive. The sound effects were also pleasing to listen to, and the variance in them was great. \n\nOverall, I really loved this game. The gameplay, the graphics, the sound - it all came together to make something really enjoyable. I had a great time playing it, and you did a phenomenal job making it!
