I tried to boot it up on windows 11, but no luck :(

@miles-w Interesting. I'll have to find a windows 11 PC to try it on. The HTML5 version should be working now though.

I could not stand watching this head and listening to the SFX after a while lol. I couldn't quite figure out whether there was a strategy other than to feed the head everything, but after a while it did stop popping out old thoughts. Overall this game did make me feel strong emotions, more so than any other jam game I've played so far.

the concept is interesting, we lack a bit of feedback and I managed to block a text, but at one point I couldn't retrieve it :/.

I really liked this take on the theme! It was fun to catch glimpses of what the thought bubbles said, like the one about the demo text that wrapped really well! The flat thought bubbles felt out of place with the 3D head, would have been cool if tied together more visually but I understand the time limitations.

Feels like a cursed 90s game, interesting way to start the game, didnt feel like there was a way to lose but cool little experience.

Truly unhinged, I love it. Disturbing head. Disturbing sounds. Disturbing thoughts. I need to get better at reading upside down though :(

LOL this was really unexpected. I love the style of the modeling. So unique. And the idea of shoving thoughts into the ears and shoving out other thoughts is really interesting. Some of those thought bubbles were hilarious. Others were sweet. Very good job!

At first, I didn't realize what to do with the "Start" bubble. You could add an in-game tutorial to introduce the player to the concept. But the "ah-ha" moment was also cool.

It seemed like I was able to stuff all the thoughts into the head with about half the time left, so I ended up sitting there with nothing to do until the next round, except for this ... lol

It's difficult to write anything, it's not a game, just an experience of dragging some elements while a head looks in the direction of the mouse.
