Currently, the character interacts directly with several objects in the scene: the physics cube, the collectable item, and the environment. Perhaps there could be more interaction between these things? I’ll craft an example game to demonstrate what I mean. First, in scary mode, the cube is pulled towards the character (apply force in unity). The player will try to use the environment to put obstacles and distance between themselves and the cube. Grabbing a collectable temporarily changes the mode to the dreamy state. In this mode, the character can push the cube around; perhaps it can be pushed to a spot in the environment that will keep it trapped once the world returns to scary mode. Whatever you do, it would be nice to see the player interactions with the world be as fleshed out as the ambiance you’ve created. Well done!

Dreamy/Dizzy
I like the fog around the field to add a dreamy effect. For dizzy, I think you had a good balance between how much to spin the camera to convey the feel vs making the user too disoriented. I would suggest adding some more components to this level. Perhaps when the player hits the big cube, his movement is disabled for a bit and a black squiggling emote is showed over his head.

Etc:
I would suggest adding something more to the character. Because it has both a spherical head and body, it’s sometimes confusing to understand the orientation of the player when you are trying to move forward. Which makes sense for the dizzy mode, but not necessarily the scared/weak mode.
I was confused about the start screen. I really liked the pumped up music to get you started for the game, but that music stops very abruptly. Perhaps try fading it out. I also started playing the game on the start screen and I am still not completely sure which mood the default screen corresponds to. Perhaps start the game in either the “1” or “2” game modes.

As for scary… my speakers were turned way up when I first touched that cube. THAT WAS TERRIFYING. Other than that, it wasn’t that scary.
Good choice with environment and colors, the small character is a logical direction to go for in scared/weak. I’m not in complete peace with the camera rotation though. It seems a bit out of place for his movement speed.
Maybe if it automatically “glanced fearfully” to the side from time to time you could keep the rotation speed.
Maybe the character needed some “shudder in his step” animations. Maybe, just adding some sort of footstep sounds to emphasize his size, place, and disposition in the world would have been more than enough.
Also, the jumps between dreamy and weak behave the same. Maybe dreamy could be more floaty? Weak/scared more sporadic(with a random jump vector)?

I didn’t particularly like that the world was very small and that the controls for the character weren’t very easy to use; the dizzy mode was almost unusable without the player feeling very uncomfortable. The normal mode was pretty easy to use, but the fact that there were gold cubes in the game that didn’t do anything seemed kind of useless. Consider taking that out if it doesn’t directly contribute to the game.

Another part that could be improved is the level of sound in the scared/weak mode. When running into the block, the scream legitimately hurt my ears. Also, in dizzy mode, I would make the player have some sort of reaction when running into the block or the walls, such as a world shake or dizzy rotation.

The motion for the two feels definitely helped the game feel, but like I said above, they could be improved a bit. The interactions were good, but there could have been some improvements. The block didn’t really help in portraying the feelings, and simply having the camera at a higher angle didn’t really portray the scared effect that well.

The sounds were good, but the scream was way too loud. The textures were a bit bland, but they definitely got the point across. I probably would’ve been able to guess the feelings just by playing the game, which means you did well in portraying the game feel. Overall, I liked the game!
