Hello!

I suffer with generalized anxiety, so when I had to choose a subject for an academic project, I decided it would be a good idea to create a tool that could help others with anxiety. Something that would be relaxing. So, I created a game, and tried to use colors and sounds that would make my goal possible.

My game is now complete and online, if you want to see it: ec2-52-38-251-115.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/

This is not a product I'm trying to promote, since I won't sell my game. I really just want people with anxiety to try it and let me know if there's anything I can do to make it better.

Since this is an academic project, I would be extremely thankful if you could help me and just tell me how the game made you feel. If you don't mind helping me with that, I have a form with simple questions (don't worry, it's mostly "yes" or "no" and anonymous, and you don't even have to write much if you're not comfortable)
My form is here:
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd_X5uHY5v3gb6bAyKZ63OTGQAxTnjzSWu8aDF0dPoW 6LBS5A/viewform

Thank you, and I really hope my game can help you. Even If it only helps 1 person, I will be happy.

Hey,

I'll check it out when I'm on my laptop. I actually play simple computer games (like Candy Crush) because they help my anxiety. So I will be a good guinea pig for your project.

Cheers,

I'm struggling with a little bit of anxiety tonight and came upon this post and decided to give your game a try. It was a really great distraction from all of anxiety symptoms that are currently going on with my body. Thumbs up, great job!
