Hi James, thanks for the message =) There actually is a losing ending, if you time out.
Oh that makes sense :)
Oh, wow. I'll have to give this top scores in everything! Really innovative and strangely addicting. Outstanding!
Really interesting concept and interpretation of the theme. Was funny how I mostly ignored my family just so keep getting points haha. Was too stressful to do both! Played through to get both endings and thought they were both great.
Really good game.
It is quite hard to control swipes with mouse, but i understand desktop is not the main platform.
Btw, it reminded me that i need to call parents in-between of rating LD games, so thanks :)
Best
@seriar I can assure you it is also hard on Android :) Actually, you have to swipe in the green arrow window, otherwise it gets invalidated and destroys itself. We tried to balance this towards the end of our weekend, it definitely needs some work.
Oh christ, this game kinda spooked me a bit. o_o
Reading the increasingly ominous messages from my family and then hearing footsteps behind me and some kind of slam actually made my heart skip a beat...
This is a really cool concept, and executed with a lot of polish! Everything from the visuals to the sounds seem to come together really well. :)
Awesome job! Cool take on the theme. Only gripe I really had was it was a bit difficult on PC but I realize that not what it was designed for. First time through got a ton of followers then ended up dead. Caught him the second time though!
Very cool. Looks great, sounds great, neat interpretation of the theme :)
Great narrative story. I played two times to see the both endings. Really capturing story. The swipe thing is not working correctly at times on computer though. Great game, keep up good work!
Really interesting game! FYI I wasn't able to play the web version in Firefox, but it worked on Chrome.
Good experience. I spent time to answer my family message, I think I'm not a good influencer.
Interesting game and interpretation of the theme. Well done.
'ARE U STILL THERE?' the idea for this game is quite interesting, good job
This is awesome love the message.
I got the lose ending and literally laughed out loud, this is a pretty neat idea for a game, I've never played a horror rhythm game before. Definitely wish I could have played it on my phone as swipes are pretty hard with a mouse, but that ain't your fault.
OMG this fits the jam theme so good! Your life = spend it for social media fame, it's even like real life! This really help those people who are addict to social media to re-think what they should "spend" their life on!
I always have a love for rhythem game, so that's another plus for me! I should've played it on mobile though.
I try to reply every text and in the meanwhile score as much as possible, I got the police arrested the dude ending, is that a good ending?
@snowtv yep, that is the good ending =) If you ignore the messages too much and time out, you would get the other one. Thanks for playing ^^
@neakiir Yea I kinda guessed that based on some of the of the texts.
I am not sure if I like the game or not. The game is really chaotic and in that senses it is not fun to play. The chaos is also an important part of the games message, and that makes the game pretty interesting.
In my first run I've been constantly worrying about getting jumpscares ever since I noticed the news... and closed the game reflexively when the volume went down O_o
Wow I definitely completely ignored the text messages on my first play through. I didn't even know that it was my family at first because I was so focused on the tapping and swiping. Played it a second time realizing I should probably read those and I was able to get some story about the serial killer that came out of nowhere for me the first time around. Very cool concept and well executed, good job.
I felt that this is the game that matches the theme more, from the games I've played so far. You feel very much ...bought! When the news about the serial killer popped up and was quickly covered by pictures I felt so bad. I'm a huge fan of games that, beside entertaining, make you change feeling about something or just make you experience something, in this case discomfort and awareness. Well done!
Holy moly the suspense at the end there... what an awesome game, love the tension built by monitoring messages and targeting hearts and swipes. I actually felt anxiety playing which made the ending that much better. This was an incredibly clever game and my whole team loves it, great work everyone!
Like it a lot and that message/swiping management is really nice idea. Also I love how you approached the theme! Great job you guys!
Extremely hard to control with mouse but I still liked the game! Really clever idea, mechanics and most of all graphics! I enjoyed it a lot.
