The web version won't launch.

A super simple and pretty fun little jam game. It could perhaps have used a bit more gameplay, but it's not too bad for a jam game. Overall a okay little jam game.

It's maybe a little bit to "simple" but it's a good 3D jam game. My few minutes playing were nice !

@tasakasama Thanks for letting me know. I couldn't get it working here, but I created an itch.io page and it seems to be working there.

Good interpretation, decent execution. Well done!

Looks very simple and also clearly. What i welcome is the settings is stayed saved. There is small bug when I was moving while there was red signal and i got stucked and can'not moved anymore so probably some texture isue. Anyway, the game has nice plot, I would welcome more difficulty - different times fro green (maybe i was lucky,but all the time the green was same duration) Also it would be very nice to havve another levles but is understandable to have one while there is only limited time to make game. As solo developer you can be proud on your game! Thanks for it.

It is a simple game but has potential to become a whole mini game. Good job!

I liked the art of the game. Well made characters.

@radekvrs Thanks for the detailed review!

I had randomized green/red times, but with (bad?) luck you could get the same duration. This could be better if I saved the last value so it doesn't get repeated.

Multiple areas and more tension from interesting obstacles was something I wanted to create, but it was a busy weekend for me so I couldn't dedicate much time to it unfortunately. Maybe I'll expand the game a bit after the game jam.

Cute little game. It was immediately obvious what I was supposed to do, I didn't encounter any issues (though I wasn't looking for them) and I was able to finish it pretty quickly.

The premise is really good though, I think that this idea has a lot of potential, actually! With more levels of various complexities, and with some player model, this could be a very good one. Well done!

I finished it and wanted to watch the squid game scene again. Then of course I tried to blow myself up on purpose.

fassenberg 2026-04-22 11:19

A simple game with movement similar to Squid Game. Blowing up was really fun 😄 It would be nice to have a restart button for the level.

Nice game.

benjaminm 2026-04-23 06:21

Nice game, I like the sounds and the graphics. Though it would be nice if I didn't have to reload every time I blew up lol.

gideongriebenow 2026-04-23 10:48

I blew up once to test it. A bit easy and short, but a nice simple game applying the theme successfully. A restart button would be helpful :)

ukulelefury 2026-04-23 14:52

:) Nice! That's a well-executed simple concept, and very fun to play. Man, I miss elementary school PE now...

This game _should_ have been easier, but wow am I apparently too impatient and greedy! I mean, I died a _completely_ reasonable number of times before making it to the end...

bushfire 2026-04-23 16:59

I ended up playing it again, just to have a extra look at the environment. It's so nice seeing all the small details, like the texture of the barrels, or how the game titel is written on the containers.

cogcomp 2026-04-23 18:47

I think this has real potential. The lights could speed up or change randomly or you could view them through some kind of colour filter. Nice idea. Well done!

avhatar 2026-04-23 20:39

I was expecting some kind of gotcha right up until the end — that the van would drive off with a "you thought it'd be that easy?" =)

haln 2026-04-24 22:57

@bushfire Thanks for noticing them! I tried to make the environment a little more interesting since the gameplay was fairly simple.

@avhatar Haha, that would have been hilarious if the van drove off!
