This game is a methaphore the stresses around us in our daily lives. a boss at work, a wife and children, an old friend, a neighbor, a mother ... Everyone asks for something and lose interest if we disappoint.
Answer before 10 seconds elapsed and win the power to destroy obstacles. If you win two powers, you score points for each rapid response and lose to be missed. listen to the sound that the ryhtme 10 seconds. The obstacle change every 5 seconds, careful not to go crazy!
use the arrows to move the character, to destroy the space walls when you picked up power.
Press esc when you think you complete the game.
Although the game are not really finished (out of time^^), the theme inspired me to take risks ...
Caracters are made with famitsu caracter generator, the rest of visuals don't need anythingother than plaint^^.
I play the guitar title screen myself and mix the nasty ingame music with acid express. The game was made with Construct2 (scirra).

I like the idea, but I think It's poorly implemented, premade graphics also... I would prefer placeholders
Controls could've been tuned a bit, other than that, it's a really nice game.
It was quite enjoyable,
although the movement is a bit 'flowy' and takes a while to get up and running.
I can see what your getting at with your idea, the whole game feels like one of thoes annyoing dreams were you cant quite reach your goal. I the shading is nice, but the sprites seem a bit rough.
I like the core ideas, although it took me a while to get the hang of how to position myself in time for wall switches. I think that giving the player a hint as to what the next wall setup will be would go a long way. Overall, it was fun.
thx all for comments. game is not really finished and I think I can push more the concept and try to make the game better.
Don't know if you are new at game programming or not, if you are new you made a great work, else you could have spent a little more time in polishing it, the idea is good, the implementation wasn't
Interesting mechanic, and works out pretty well - good fun.
I like the idea behind it. Has potential if it were more polished. Great work!
I liked the audio and the concept. Not sure why the level changes every 5 seconds. I am sure you could have come up with a way to make it change every 10 seconds and still be fun. Maybe bigger maps?! Menu screen is cool!
Really cool. Awesome soundtrack, good backstory and addictive gameplay. But a little bit unpolished. Don't you want to finish the game some time? Give me a call though :)
Good game. It is really stressful! I think that is what you were going for so good job!
Wow, I love the music in this game, it really got me in the mood. This game really captures the philosophy of life! I took the Buddhism approach and wait it out! :D
Is there a gameover and win?
Good idea, although it could use some polishing.
I think some way to anticipate how the obstacles are changing would really benefit the sanity of the players :)
Nice atmosphere and idea, I think I see what you wanted to do ! But the game needs some polish now :)

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Fun Game! It hits the "Really? C'Mon!"-vibe :)
Also, the main menu is quite cool.
