It's a really interesting and unique concept! I also think the gameplay, even though it's simple, is quite fun. 10/10 would play again

my head hurts now but the game is really cool

10/10 would fry my brain again

Amazingg!! This is such a cool idea

tak is still developing games?!

Waaaaaaa ♥ i love it !

This is all kinds of flat out amazing! A trippy experience, though the pitch black levels turned me off especially the third one with the eyes hunting you down, a ton of pressure to feel out a level.

Really awesome experience elsewise though with impressive art and programming to give you an awesome, surreal experience!

Ah, sorry, the black levels are a bug: sometimes the textures don't load for some reason. Sorry about that!

my screen is all spinny. cool game!

Wow very nice and gets pretty challenging towards the end. Great art and sound as well. Novel concept for sure!

peak, i need more levels

it was great

Hey you executed that idea really well, thx for the game! I especially liked the eye-enemies, which I would love to hear a "lore"-video about :D Who would have thought that I could be that easily hooked...

Dude! Great job; loved the game.

Frogfrog!!!! (video on the game, not sure why it isn't embedding)

beginning levels were interesting but two of the later levels are really, really unforgiving (currently stuck on the second one), and the controls get a bit finnicky there. it doesn’t help that it went slower around that time too. it’s a nice idea though; i just think it’s too timing-reliant for a puzzle but too tricky for a platformer.

whew, finally got through the last level. i will concede it is satisfying to finally get it, but i really wish that there had been a “reset automatically” button or something.

Damn Daniel, inspiring.

I think this melted my brain

Wow, I watched that video too! This is goddamn beutiful, great work!

very original! Thanks

Amazing game. I let it destroy my eyes and brain with amazement :)

After playing, the wallpaper rotated.

The game was really good.

Played about 6-7 levels. I would love to see a full release of this game. I really like it.

not bad

this is crazy!!!

This is actually insane dude woaahh

(+1)

oh my goodness this is awesome!!! (my eyes must be great because I feel fine after playing that lol)

Literally everything is spinning in my vision after playing this for awhile. Trying to make a video of my playthrough but I had to stop. Either gonna try again later or upload once I got after I edit out some of my angrier bits. :)

hurts my brain in the best way possible, absolutely amazing game.

Amazing game with funny concept !

An unbelievably amazing work.
Each stage stands on its own as a single piece of art, but also works as rotating dynamic art, and at the same time as a game where you move through it as the player. It truly felt like a fusion of art and game.
As a platformer, the objective is simple, just collect items and reach the door, but since things are not always visually clear, you have to think in ways beyond just control, which made it both challenging and fun, and I really liked that.
It was an incredibly satisfying game and art experience meow~! (=✧ω✧=)

gng is chatgpt

really fun game with good integration of the recursion into the platforming. the textures made it run a little bit slow but it was beautifully textured so minor inconvenience.
