Life is a deep pit. No one has escaped from there. When you want to run away, you face a lot of big obstacles.

When you face some troubles, you have 3 options, wait till it evaporates, take red pill or face it. Everyone starts with the first. Waiting. Some people select the second one. Escaping the life pit. Only the ones who has courage takes third option. Facing the problem. This is the only way you could win this!

Everybody faces obstacles, Some of them gets punch from the face

Everybody lives. Everybody dies.

CONTROLS

A&D or Right&Left Arrows to move around. W or Up Arrow to slow down. S or Down Arrow to get faster.

If you pick up the green posion you slow down. If you pick up the lotus flower you become immortal.

Great art and audio, it was engaging! Was a bit confused about what the mechanics and rules were, also wasn't sure how to quit the game once started. good job!

It feels the controls lack precision but I can't tell if it's by design or juste my trash pc unable to handle this lovely art, great job!

The music was great. At first it was confusing to understand what killed you and what the pickups did, but after that point it was fun.

Really enjoy how bonkers/crazy this is. The controls make it fun to move the monster creature around - the music is cool as well.

@thisismatt yeah we were confused about the mechanics too lol. But you can get the idea pretty quickly after a few tries. Thank you!

@rongefilet Yeah it was designed to be like that. We wanted player to flop around and hit stuff. Thank you!

@apeyrard Yeah the obstacles were kinda rushed, so we couldn't make them distinguishable enough ig. Thank you for playing!

Pretty fun game!
The main character is really cool, the ragdoll simulation makes it really fun to watch.
The hazards were a little confusing at first but I eventually figured it out!

If you want to make a game fun, use ragdolls.

This game is brilliant in many ways. The obstacle/blue-red pill thing is a little bit confusing at the start but after playing like 4-5 rounds, you can used to it. Cool game!

amazing music, amazing intro, funky graphics. Power ups doesn't self-explanatory but I got them after reading the description on the page. An highscore/point system would be great for this game.

Cute and trippy is all I can say for this one. This is a very simple game but cute graphics with overall trippy mood kept me in the game for a long time.

It was a fun experience in the wacky environment (it's a compliment). I would work more on visual communication to the player, not everything that was going on the screen was clear for me as the player.
