Overview: A puzzle platformer which is largely a parody of Portal.

I tried playing this game today, and it felt like it aspired to being a parody of Portal. Unfortunately, I was too tired and had to stop my session early.
Setup: Steam Deck
Steam Game Time: 9 minutes

Today I was looking at the Steam Store page. The game is tagged with "Walking Simulator" but the game discription mentions "small puzzles, platforming, meta gameplay."

I finally got around to playing more of this game. Today I started over from the beginning on my computer.
Steam Game Time: 34 minutes (cumulative game time) / 25 minutes (session game time)
First Impressions:
The game is funny at times, but not enough to keep me interested. As the game revolves around being a parody of Portal and perhaps games in general, it should really lean into that. Instead, I think at times it tries to be a serious platformer, which is hard for (I assume) a single developer. In contrast, because there was a team of developers, Portal is able to be an extremely polished platformer with the occasional humor (with top-notch execution when it is applied).
I think the game should have a lot more "bugs" and have that be part of the fun - kind of like in Goat Simulator.
Demo Rating: 3.0 out of 5
