This game is just a psychic brain f*ckery about fighting and fleeing yourself. Its all about the shadows that a man hides in the confines of his psyche, shadows that you have to discover, fight and/or accept to progress as a human being.
Hiding our demons behind anti-blast doors and endless brain conundrum is what we all do to accept the harsh reality of our lives.
Also the US dropped 2 freaking atomic bombs which vaporized 100 000 innocent souls in a snap, and everybody forgot that shit like it's nothing. Winners definitely wrote the history...
What you are fighting for, is what other people fight against. I think there are no such things as good and evil in the universe, that's what this game is about for me, and that's why there are no "true" ending.
Also "Democracy" doesn't freaking mean anythings nowadays, you can change that by whatever the hell you fight for or against.
Anyway, I really wanted you guys to feel clever AF after beating this game, sorry if you feel dumb for once !
Imagine, with the perfect RNG at the start of the run : you don't need to plug in the sockets, you just have to tap 2222 and you don't even need to resolve the laser maze at all, it's already solved for you. And the game is so complex, I'm afraid there are maybe more potential glitchs and exploits in it, like the one with the bandage you probably used to get this time.
But hey, nice job for beating this speedrunner nightmare I guess.
This is the link to the run, I don't think i did anything like "weird", definitely improvements to be had on my end. On a related note, is it possible to get a download of the game? Unless I'm blind and just don't see the link.
was at the last level the waves are taking the longest dang this game is fun and hard. if you dont remember to bring 1 thing you are a goner and muyst reset 9/10 out of all honesty (no game is perfect. except ultrakill) i love this game and will want to see more of this type of game
This game is the definition of insanity, doing the same thing, over and over again, fighting yourself, expecting the result to be different each time. It's life, there is no point, no mistakes, no good or evil, no clear goal, no victory, your only escape is death, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Personally, this Ultrakill robot boss fight on the castle drove me completely mad, I ragequit and didn't touch the early access since. But yeah I agree, no game is perfect, except DUSK off course :)
This game is so much fun, I've been searching for one screen games like this and this is wonderful. My only complaint is that the stupid wave screen is uselessly difficult and has killed the majority of the attempts I make to beat the game. I'm not sure if there's a way to fix it, but something needs to be changed, even if that means taking it out. I truly love this game though, even with all the hate I'm giving :)

this game is so hard!
It's the best welcome to Itch.io you can think of !
After month of trying, I finally complete it ... And I still don't know if the game is good or not...
It's was very hard, not fun at the beginning, figuring how to play. It's was a painful experience, lot of frustration...
One puzzle are sometimes impossible to play : the laser are generate randomly, so ...
The wave puzzle is the worst, trying to complete it is a pain is the ass...
Finally the valve problem is just incomprehensible... I solve it by chance...
Is I'm happy to have complete it ? I don't think so, to many frustration and question left.
I don't recommend the game, except for the hardcore fan...
For the positive points, it's pretty, I love the soundtrack, the atmosphere, the idea of the game...
Anyway, thanks for sharing, it's a lot of work !
Yeah, I guess that's what a second game looks like, and you played the last version of it...
BTW this was my primary inspiration in term of design during the jam : https://fourquarters.itch.io/pdta-ld (a classic)

Ha ha ha, what a legend, and you made the "official" WR without even use the "bandage trick" I mentioned.
But THIS is what I call opening a safe like a true artist, notice that I take my time to show you the strat, but you can do it almost instant.
About he download, I invite you to consult the devlogs...
