Mind Control
You are hypnotized at the start of every level.
Each hypnosis session gives you a new ability… or a new handicap.
But watch out ! The game never tells you what changed.
It’s up to you to experiment and figure out how your body behaves under hypnosis to overcome the obstacles.
A short, simple, and slightly unsettling game made in 7 days by a solo developer for the GDevelop Big Game Jam #8 – theme : “Take Control”.
This is my first game jam (and my first finished game ever), so your feedback means a lot !

J'ai vraiment bien apprécié le concept, je suis content de voir ce que tu as réussi à produire en 7j.
J'ai eu un peu de mal avec le lvl 3 une petite astuce visuelle qui prévient du saut pourrait rendre le tout plus agréable je pense.
J'ai mis 1184 secondes à mon premier essai, mais je commence à me faire vieux
Bravo en tout cas
Ooh cool merci pour ton retour !
Je comprends, je trouve le niveau 3 un peu agaçant aussi 😅
Merci d'avoir joué ☺️
Hi, I like a lot the game. I came back to remember all the “features” of mind control, hehe. Did you add those little phantoms, didn’t you? ^^
830 seconds for me with this version
The little ghosts are now gone, and lots have changed, if you want to check it out !
Thanks for playing, and nice timer ! :D
840 seconds this time, but I think I can make it in a lot of less time. Better enemy design this time, hehe.
There are changes in the level (backgrounds or more tiles?)
I love this game. It has some interesting ideas… ^^
I had a lot of fun playing the game. I really enjoyed the new mechanics introduced after each level, and considering it was made by a solo developer in just seven days, it’s honestly impressive.
Definitely worth a try! I recommend it 😊
The art style and atmosphere fit the gameplay perfectly
I’ll keep an eye on this developer’s future projects for sure!
I ended up the game in 1023 seconds on my first try!
