SAGE 2023 - Demo OUTER OUTAGE sage 2023 demo!

By far one of the most unique games at SAGE this year. The trippy (and much appreciated) seizure warning at the beginning is a pretty good indicator of what you're in for: an absolutely bizarre game where you're zooming up walls and flying around psychedelia in open ended levels looking for outages (star looking things). It is admittedly a little jank, but honestly? It would feel wrong fixing that. This game is so utterly strange that the mechanics feeling pretty weird actually enhances the experience, and I would recommend you don't try to polish them at all.

The one real flaw is I would definitely appreciate some different controls, WASD + spacebar is ok but it isn't the most comfortable.

Seriously, this is really promising. Keep up the great work!

I didn't beat it yet, but I thought this was super charming! It's clear a lot of work went into the presentation. It made me feel like I was going insane (but in a good way).
As for the gameplay, I think it's got some neat ideas too. It takes some getting used to the jump physics, but I love how you keep your walljump momentum as you leave the wall. The open-ended level design also makes for some fun interactions with the characters you have.

I think my biggest criticism is that I'd appreciate some alternate control schemes, some way to remap the controls, or even adding gamepad support. I'm really not good at platforming with WASD + Spacebar.
