Definitely getting a dark Super Meat Boy vibe from this. LOVE the design and music.

Good game
Wonderfully atmospheric, and perpetually unsettling.
I will throw this on my steam wishlist, but what I wanted to say for now is that is that you did very well.
I think is a post "Portal" world people understand that puzzles can have their engagement increased by form and function coexisting, and I think you nailed that.
You took a risk that was hot debate in the 90's Dev team scene which if a demo can lead to sales, and as a fan of Serious Sam, the demo and the main games, and Meat Boy's flash version, and it's wider release, I think you have won that gambit.
I'd would almost scale back to fewer levels, to leave people more hungry, but I know there is an economic balance of social good will in being so forward.
Thank you for making this.
(edit)
PS I love your comittment to hiding things. You found some really clever ways of doing so.

seriously, thank you for enjoying the demo and adding the game to your wishlist
Very cool and well-put together game! Presentation is solid and I'm making my way through, bit-by-bit. I like the secrets that are hidden around levels, gives it a real sense of exploration (though I thought the "Hey You!" was just part of the music track at first, haha). Really enjoyable, though I do think there is a lot of confusion. For one example: I dunno why there needs to be two types of spikes: the block spikes, and the rotate-y spike balls. You'd think it's because the rotate-y spike balls are affected by gravity, and the block spikes aren't, but some spike balls aren't affected? Very inconsistent and frustrating to keep track of. Feels like the game also goes too fast into precision-platforming-based levels instead of puzzle-based levels, and those types of levels are a bit too frustrating to navigate with these controls. Still, the general feel of the game is very positive for me!
Also, there's a little bug for me where the music doesn't start after selecting a level until you die once in the level.
