It was pretty hard not gonna lie but I decided to try and finish it. I managed to get to the end where that brain or thing was  and after that it just made me replay the whole game while the screen was shaking and all of the blocks had a brain texture. This was so weird and creepy. I clearly did not expect that ending. Also after I finished the game the second time the game just closed. This is a real horror game not gonna lie lol.! Anyways really cool and weird game.

Only real complaint is with the double-jumpy things, the fact that you'd immediately fall through them made them kinda hard to use, had to just spam the jump button rather than actually time it. Other than that, great game. Also, the window vibrating in the second run was a really cool touch.
