Wait, I'm An Option?
This is a game developed for GMTK Game Jam 2023 with the theme "Reversed Role". In this game, the role of player is not the character, but the options and settings (controls, audio volume etc.).
This is my first game released to the public, so feel free to be as brutal as possible in critisizing the game, though I will still appreciated those who enjoy playing it.

The explanation aren't very clear, but once you understand what you're supposed to do, it's a good concept, a bit overwhelming to do a lot of actions quikly, thank you for the time scale option !
Very interesting concept, though it took me some time to realize what was going on. I kept rebinding keys and then wondering why they weren't working for me till I realized the AI was typing the keys.
The sliders are a neat idea, I especially like the time scale. Having things controlled by Sound / Music volume isn't my favorite choice, even if it fits with "I'm an option" I don't like my choice of volume to have an effect on the game.
Overall, it was really cool but not a lot of fun. I didn't get too far because I found it very tedious having to respond to the AI's changing key presses, and some of the combinations that need to be set up are complicated (though definitely possible with the time scale feature). Maybe show a keyboard that lights up which keys the AI is pressing? And maybe it could press more keys at once / with different cadence?
I could see this becoming an awesome puzzle game and/or speedrunning game if the idea were worked on further.
