Cool concept. Learning the real message behind the emojis is a fun and funny. Nice work.

Thank you so much! We're glad we were able to convey our vision, as we had to cut a lot and were worried it would become unclear..

I understand the world will exist without AI in this game. It's a good idea and an equally good implementation.

I really like how you drew the icon it looks cool! Nice game. 😊

After all my decisions, the world must be in absolute chaos, but at least it can survive without AI xD

The level design is very good! The artistic color tone also fits the theme very well

Interesting approach for signals and I like the idea! The avatars and icons look really nice and are very readable. Game-wise having only 2 options each, is basically coin tossing; maybe visualizing some spider-graph for controlling different axes (jobs, peace, energy, food, nature) might give each choice more weight?

Well done!

Good job! I played until the end and population at the end was around 12 000. I liked how funny some outcomes were. Overall, emojis and outcomes felt a little bit random and I didn't feel attached to any people in the game, they all were just a number. 😁

It's a very interesting concept. Also a lot of fun just to try random things and watch where it will lead you.

One of the funniest submissions I’ve played!

The gameplay is basic and I found it almost impossible to guess which option would increase/decrease population, but still had a lot of fun with all the zany outcomes!

Since you get to see all prompts in a single game (unless you fail, which is more difficult than it is to win), there’s little incentive for repeated playthroughs.

Хорошая и интересная игра!

figuring out the actual meaning behind the emojis is lowkey hilarious 10/10 concept

A very interesting use of the jam theme!
