How does it decide when to do the white dash thing otherwise the game was great!

I really like the visual aesthetics, the simple colour palette works well together and the overall theme is really cool!

Well I tried and tried, unlocked the three bars and then...? Is this some deep message I'm missing or have I just failed the final test? Love the atmosphere, a twist on the Matrix awakening. Controls take some getting used to. Spinning round like crazy is a cool feature, reminds me of Sonic (intended?). The design is pro-level.

Wow, just wow.
I truly enjoyed the experience. The graphics, the animation, the little story bit, the overall aesthetics. Turrets really surprised me, didn't expect them to throw me, damn.

Add some more story, a good soundtrack and more levels and it's full fledged game! Great work!

I love the introduction and the animations, it's very immersive. Good idea to make an exploration game, a sountrack would've been the cherry on top.

Great atmosphere! Liked the enemy concept and the respawn particle effect.

The controls were a little too slow and unresponsive for my taste.

Loved the opening area, such a cool introduction to your world. I could totally see this being a LIMBO type game

What an interesting intro! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/6UdIqDKcGPw

This is a very cool experience! Right away, I felt like I wanted to get that guy free and swim around. Cool animations as well. And I like how you slowly introduced danger. Only bit of critical feedback I have would be around the power explosion. Refining that a bit—e.g., allowing the player to intervene— would make this super fun.

Great thematic color scheme choice. Well placed checkpoints. So many little polish details all over the place.

With `WASD` this game is way harder than with mouse. Also when using mouse there seems to be times, where the guy still tries to swim even, when I am pressing mouse button. Maybe it tries to queue mouse presses and then execute them in order?

at first the controls were really annoying, however like with a lot of games after a bit of patience it was possible to learn the best way to time controls and how to use the environment to my advantage. Managed to get the end game to trigger after a little floating around. Nice sound design and great mood.

fantastic design, although the control does not quite convince me. Visually very cool, great atmosphere

Great atmosphere and gameplay, perfectly challanging with the right balance between frustration and engagement!

Awesome artstyle and atmosphere. Stunning start of the game. But want more challenges and progression in later game. Good job!

Got stuck in the wall once, so its not that good to use your head for everything!
The atmosphere was nice, and the idea seemed pretty great.

I love the mood of the game! The keyboard controls aren't really smooth, but controlling with the mouse is cooler anyways =P. I like the unstable mechanic of the character, it adds a good amount of challenge to the game. The sounds however could be a bit louder. Overall, amazing entry!
