Fun puzzle game with minimalist graphics and fitting music. I felt music was a bit loud, but I turned my volume down and all was good. Loved it.

Fun puzzle game with minimalist graphics and fitting music. I felt music was a bit loud, but I turned my volume down and all was good. Loved it.
Nice game mechanics. Loved playing it especially upgrades. Once I had to chose least terrible card, I really loved that part.
Nice graphics and sounds. I loved the adaptation of the theme. For the first time I thought the run animation is punch someone, so I tried to punch those who didn't give me money. That would have been a good feature in the game :) I had fun playing it.
Interesting concept. Loved playing it, but it's quite difficult
I always enjoy art and overall experience in BTP games. Art looks so simple and yet has quite a charm. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I watched this game live on stream then came to play here. Amazing idea and quite innovative too. Loved it. Full marks on almost all categories.
Theme adaption was on point. Loved playing it. One thing bugged me was text and voice were out of sync.
Nice puzzle game. Loved the art and music, it would have been nice if there were instructions in game.
Loved the art and concept of the game, music is fitting. Had fun playing it.
5/5 for everything. One of the best games I played in this jam so far. I thought why there are so many abilities in the game? And then at the end, I ended up using everything still took me a few attempts. Had a lot of fun. Music, Sound FX, Graphics, trail animations, little dots that guide you towards the ability and then they get bigger as you close in. Story narrative simple and yet fun.
Does this game read mind? I kept getting "sex" as a distraction more often than any other.
On a serious note amazing job. Great graphics, interesting adaption of the theme fitting sounds and music. Loved the concept.
Loved your art and interpretation of the theme. It was good to be given options on how to end the game. I found jumping and landing a bit difficult and felt falling from heights was unforgiving apart from that I absolutely loved to play the game.
I really loved the music and reverse effect. Also the world was being built as you walk through felt like quite a good story telling.
Nice game,apart from feeling a bit short and couple of typos here and there (not trying to be a d!*k) I found the game to be amazing. I always love a game with multiple endings and want to explore all the possibilities. Great work.
Fun game, loved playing it. Graphics and music were really nice. Adaptation of theme is unique. I wish there was an eraser, because great artists like me(check my drawing below) need them.!

Great graphics amazing narrative Loved it
A bit of sokoban and maths together. Loved the concept, perfect adaption of the theme. I wish there were more levels to play.
HAd fun playing it. Loved it. It was good to take down enemies from behind without they knowing it.
I found it a bit hard and was not sure if I was doing right thing in shooting. Liked the idea and was fun to play.
Apart from what @loadsofmana said there is not much complaint in the gameplay. Controls are snappy. A bit of feed back in enemy death would have been nice. I felt Im shooting but the skeleton is not dying. Until I spammed my gun. As for graphics and music I really loved them. Sad to hear about the camera shake that would have been really nice.
Nice graphics and fun game. Loved playing through it. Movement felt a little difficult to handle, but not game breaking.
Took me a while finding the key, I wish I could fly through walls after possessing the key. Music was awesome, that too multiple tracks. Solid entry
Interesting idea, possessing objects to complete a level. Fun game, loved playing it.
5 stars for everything. There are so many different rules you can extend this game to 100 level game. I wish you expand this to even bigger game. I feel this game will be in top 3. I would love to learn how you programmed this game. Great job one of the best games I played in this jam.
@pokenoufl @tohubohu @gasgiant originally the game was supposed to have an endless amount of interactions, initial idea was to generate enemies at random, assign them reward amount and assign them traits that will be used in taking the split or steal decision. Stealing may not always get you win and when on low you have to split in order to maintain your oxygen, but I couldn't implement this in time, so had to rapidly create some enemies and kept this static. Thanks for your valuable feedback really appreciate it.
@ogre @inky @bubblewandgames @duboisaxel @coffeecup-winner Thanks for playing the game, hope you enjoyed.
Thanks @skyeward for sharing your thoughts. I had to rush the gameplay in order to complete the game. Thus the mechanics are not well established. The game is 50% of what I originally thought. Otherwise splitting would have made more sense.
@mgoadric thanks for the feedback and Im glad you want to play it again this mess. Even I wouldn't like to play it second time.
@mromnomnoshka wow thank you so so much.
Thanks @bernardex for the kind words. At the middle of the development I felt it has become an ambitious project. The price I paid with rushed gameplay mechanics and somewhat unclear instructions.
Thanks @bredera @thirdface
Thanks @fabula-rasa @taylor-reynolds
Thanks a lot @t8kk your comment mad my day.
Thank you so much @yomissmar for the kind words.
Thank you so much @namnam for playing the game and sharing your views. Glad to read your comments. ❤
Thanks @alicecrd
Thanks @mathemagician and you are right I didn't have much time to work on them. I could not complete everything I initially thought.
Thanks @dodelov sorry for that, I tried to add humor in the enemy descriptions, so it might have not felt much clearer. But the decision making was not completely dependent on it. It was some what random.
@webox maybe you're not bad at negotiations, maybe the finall boss is just a d!#k
Thanks @cyrolis hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much @theinkskeleton. The final boss is a bit cunning Im sorry for that :) Im glad you noticed BTP reference, there's one more such reference about Jonas Tyroller.
Thanks @selkkie for playing the game and sharing your feedback. The original idea was to generate enemies at random, but I had to rush the development as couldn't spend enough time on the game. Thus I made the game "Unwinnable" to cover up. I wanted to add many factors to steal or split decision such as your total amount, enemy amount, your last few choices and a random factor.
Thanks @randdir for playing the game.
Thanks @0x01f0 I wish I had enough time :)
Thanks @space-nomad
Thanks @brokenmirrormedia for the feedback. Art style is similar to Kurgzegstat, but not as good as they have.
Fun game although I quite didn't understand the significance of bad mouthing.
Really nice storytelling, fun game to play and loved the choices part. Playing again and again to explore all possibilities was fun and didn't feel boring. Speaking animation a nice touch to it.
Interesting concept. The game looks polished. and question answer mechanic was good. I could change my imaginary friend's color in the game that was cool. I wish I could do that in real life :). Overall a nice game. Congrats on finishing your game in your first jam!
Loved this little narrative and the purrfect puns you put in. I felt some of the text went fast, it bugged me that I could not read them. Music and atmosphere was amazing and aided in the story telling. Graphics were amazing too.
You should consider playing other entries in jam and leaving youe feedback to them. It will come back as more ratings and feedback for your game. Hope this helps, have a good day.
What I wanted to say is almost covered in all the comments above, so I'll only say this that I absolutely loved playing your game and loved to explore different endings.
Going through the comments and saw many people saying "well balanced" I was surprised, then I realized, I can move birds. After that I beat the shit out of those eggs. Very well made fun game
Loved the idea of defense and you exactly start with nothing but yourself.
5 stars for everything. I don't think there is anything I would say will be new as earlier comments say everything. One of the best games I played in this jam so far. I can see you will be higher in rankings for sure. It drove me crazy that I could only find 19 things. I thought I missed 1 thing only to realize there are more than 20 to find. Played twice but still a few things left to find. I wish someone make a video of this game and find everything. You should look forward to expand the game further.
EDIT: I found 21/20 and please tell me there are no more things to find. I can't sleep knowing there is something more to find.
Artwork is amazing, an appropriate music would have been cherry on cake. Loved playing it.
I loved the progression in each level from empty to non lethal to dangerous to almost impossible. Art had a lovely monochrome feel and music was fitting. Great job bud!
Loved playing the game. Puzzles were nicely set. The calm music added greatly to the art to set the calm mood even though you are always on edge. Amazing!
Awesome game, loved playing it just died only a 2463625 times.
Liked the name and a good story narrative. Nice game
Agree to @adngdb on almost every point. This game has potential.
Nice story about the jam itself. Lovely music. Fun game
Things I want to say that are already mentioned:
Awesome game (✔️) Great graphics (✔️) Fitting BG music and sound FX (✔️) Very accurate and snappy controls (✔️) Very well placed platforms and other level elements (✔️) Feels like playing a commercial game (✔️) 5/5 for each category (✔️)
I don't know what else to say that is not already been told. This is by far the best game I have played this jam.
During the community game jam I commented on a game called "Back and white" that this game is the best and that game went on to win the jam. I wish the same happens with this game as well. I'll be shocked to see if I don't see this game in top 3 overall and winning in atleast some categories.

Back and white rank.JPG
Great job, art is beautiful music is fitting aesthetics are nice. Loved it.
Interesting idea and quite unique adaptation of theme. Before there was nothing there was Om, I really loved it.
Loved the graphics. Agree to other about the audio. Gameplay is fun
Full marks for fun and innovation. I laughed through out the game while playing it.
I just wish this game was in english. I really loved comic style prologue. It would be unfair if I rate this, because I haven't played. Art style is pretty amazing.
Thanks @cepblvl I will be eager to play it
Thanks a lot @shubart I loved playing the game.
Loved the game. Art and sound is awesome. I was hooked with the music.
Loved your idea about the theme and very well executed. Kudos to you
I loved this game. Humorous and fun to play a spy.
Nice game. Loved the effect of torch and fire. I felt torch did not have much effect as I could see everything in the dark. But overall had fun playing it and loved the adaptation of the theme.
Simple fun game. Loved it.
Some texture for the mars surface would have been nice. I kept wondering what the controls are as I thought rover was not moving until I saw the minimap. I loved X and Y axis info and percentage showing completed. Spending more time on the game would have brought some awesome game.
Awesome game. I loved every bit of it. It was good to have different types of people to eat, kept the game interesting. And probably the most creative and unique adaptation of the theme.
I saved it. Very simple yet challenging game. At some points it frustrates you a great deal. But loved it.
I agree with @justmars that it should be delayed or slow a little.
@fupi *spoilers* that is the last level.
Loved the graphics and overall feel. Flashlight effect was really nice although I played in day(easy). Nice concept. Fun game.
@grandtheftmarmot I started with night time and was able to find 2 robots. But for some reason couldn't find the third one. But I wasn't frustrated, the thing annoyed me was the controls. I feel along with WASD you should have assigned the arrow keys as well. Because other controls and shift were all in left hand side, so movement in right side feels comfortable (In my opinion).
However I forgot to mention in earlier comment that after finding all 3 robots I wasn't sure where to that beacon. I had to watch the youtube video for that, because I felt stuck and I wanted to complete the game.
Apart from this and me being critical I enjoyed the game. It was fun experience.
Awesome game my man. That to you managed to do in 48 hours. Loved the models had some cool animations. Best feeling was to hit 9 bots in a row in single drive. Overall a very solid entry and really fun game to play. A background music track would have been cherry on the cake.
I came here to brag about my 9000 something score only to realize people have scored more.
Cool game. Loved it. Creative take on the theme and the game was quite fun to play.
Mine lived for 554 years of sadness and poo all around him. Loved the game. It took me a couple of pet deaths to realize that you are supposed to put the food around him by clicking.
Enjoyed playing the game. A fun little experience
Thank you game for letting me kill the humans. Felt pretty good playing it. Awesome graphics and music and game aesthetics. Quite good take on the theme. A solid entry.
Loved the game art and animations. Looks beautiful. Felt a bit easy but enjoyed the game.
Fun game. Enjoyed playing it. I liked the art style although I couldn't survive for 15 days in 3-4 attempts. I'll try more later.
Fantastic game. I found controlling a bit difficult but overall awesome game. Innovative and maybe most unique adaptation of the theme.
Loved the graphics and movement of the dog. Idea about the theme was awesome. The idea of keeping the hooman alive is cute and lovely. One of the best game I played so far.
A challenging experience. I died 3 times but haven't been able to beat the game. I'll play it again later to win the game. So far liked the game.
I always play your entries to learn something new. A long time follower and fan. 5 starts all the way and a huge thanks for not showing how many times I failed at the end. That would have been really embarrassing. Loved the game throughout.
Loved the game and great adaptation of the theme. Anything to kill flies / mosquitoes, I love it. Good game
Nice concept, felt a bit hard. But loved the feeling of stress to keep the player alive.
Quite innovative game matched with equally beautiful graphics. Loved it. I am very much interested in how you achieved it using unity. Please share some insights on it.
Nice game I really enjoyed it. One thing bugged me was the controls, I had to aim with mouse and then had to come to hit space and for that I had to leave either mouse or movement controls. changing space with LMB might resolve this issue. Overall fun game, nice looking graphics and cool BG music.
@generictoast Ah! I used arrow keys. I'll try WASD and will let you know. Thanks.
Loved the game and every moment playing it. Introducing new elements at regular intervals kept the game interesting. I wanted to explore the whole world but died a few times. Will come back later to play more. Just one small issue was I hated when my player threw the log instead of putting it down, same happened with the axe and lost it forever in the dark. Went with a torch to find it but no luck :(
Overall a really amazing game and a lot of fun playing it and the art looks cool
Very calm atmosphere, loved the soothing feeling of it. Hook physics and animations are awesome. Loved it overall.
Very polished game. And fun to play as well. Graphics are amazing well matched with music and sound fx. I loved the text transition. No wonder you have so many good ratings and reviews. I feel like this game is one of the top contenders. If not overall then in a few categories for sure.
5 stars in all categories. Simply the best I have played in this jam so far. I hope you win!
Loved the graphics especially 2D character in a 3D game.
Great game. Loved it and you've got some dead dwarves to clean.
Nice game. I loved the idea and adaptation of the theme. Almost everything else I wanted to say about the game has already been said, so I'll spare you with my comments. Overall good game, physics and graphics could make this game really fun.
Art is gorgeous and gameplay is awesome. Thank god humanity is not dependent on me as I could not save them for more than a few seconds :)
Nice little game. Made only in 3 hours yet the game looks complete and very polished. Art is cute and music / sounds FX to. I am embarrassed to post my highscore here :)
Awesome game. Loved playing every bit of it. I love the interactions of water and lightning. I would love to see this as a full fledged game with levels and customization.
Ping me if you need help with mac port, I would gladly help you with it.
Cute little game and fun to play. Bunny is safe now :laughing:
Awesome game. Fun to play. I loved the low poly graphics and explosion effects. I wish there were more vehicles would have been even more fun.
That president is quite acrobatic. Loved playing your game. Awesome graphics matched with cool sound FX and music. Gameplay wise it's awesome. Automatic rifle is my favorite and so satisfying to shoot.
Fun game, cool idea and nice take on the theme. I felt fish response can be faster so that you can move up and down faster
I loved the game so much, got 7th on the highscore list. The game looks very much polished and features packed. You added multiplayer also you could see how other players got their scores. But that also tempted me to checkout the top scorer's placements. Overall a solid entry and a really fun game.
Funny game. I liked the idea. Maybe I was missing something, but I couldn't decide which option to choose. Apart from that I enjoyed the game and loved the evolving animation and spin, some fire particles would have looked even better (In my opinion).
Cute art and very simple yet a ton of to play. Played all the games 3-4 times and still can't get bored of them. Loved the main menu with closed signs. I wish I could play any game I wanted to play by clicking on the enclosure. Top game.
Just like the others I loved the colors and aesthetics. Simplistic and beautiful. Just couldn't figure out what am I supposed to do.
Nice game, had fun playing it. Some effects on death would have been nice such as camera shake or particles. I myself didn't have much time to do all these so I understand it, but you can add them once the jam is over.
Thank you @bilalch213 for playing and rating my game. Originally I planned to do so but as usual I didn't have enough time as I had only one day to work on.
Thanks @tesseract for playing the game. I wish I had more time to balance it.
@patsui @sndr I am spawning a circle around the player when the items change so food items near the player are destroyed to avoid instant death. I should have made that effect a bit more popping so it is clear.
Thanks @patsui for playing the game. Your advise is noted and will work on it once the jam is over.
Thanks you @nathant yes I agree some FX would have been more fun. Wish I had time to do that I only worked a day on the game.
Thanks @congusbongus glad to hear it.
Thanks @sndr as I mentioned earlier there is a small ring spawning to destroy near by food, but apparently there is still room for a lot of improvements. Also there is a bug in the choosing items so that might also be the reason. Thanks again for playing and rating the game. Hope you had fun.
Thanks a lot @marvin-chong for playing the game and a detailed review. I have taken all the inputs into consideration and will work on them once the jam is over. Initially I planned to have 3 lives and player will change from its original color to yellow and eventually green but I did not spent as much time as I would have wanted.
Glad you liked it @emmitt I strongly agree there is a lot of room for the improvement. Hopefully I will expand it once the jam is over. Thanks for playing it.
Thanks @sky-fighter for playing and rating the game.
Thank you @le-xuan-vu I am glad you liked it. You scored more than me :)
@whiteseraph thank you so much for playing the game. I put a small blinking animation when the items change and spawned a ring around the player to destroy nearby food items but the animation can be easily missed as the UI is very small and the ring in the center also spawns only for one second so it does not impact much. So definitely there are a lot of improvements required for it to be a "complete" game.
Thank you @peterbuo for playing the game and your valuable feedback. Two same items is a bug in the code which I didn't have enough time to solve. Looking forward to correct it after the jam
@marcusnystrand LOL. Thanks for playing the game.
Thanks @zondarg for playing the game. Im glad you liked it. I will change a few things poat jam and changing the ring is first thing Im going to do.
Thanks a lot @gustavo-christino for playing the game and detailed review.
1. Yes I agree that when the items change it is sometimes impossible to click items that have almost reached to player. Which feels a bit unfair. I am looking forward to improve ot post jam.
2. I used already made music from soundimage.com and exempted from that category as I cannot make musics.
There are a lot of things to add to this game which I will add once the jam is over and will inform you if you might be interested in playing.
Once again thanks a ton for playing and detailed feedback. Appreciate it.
Thanks @theqiwiboy
Thanks @perfmouse-studios for playing the game.
"It gets hard at a point" -That's what she said.
Thank you @joekinglake for playing the game. I agree with you there must be some life system and I am looking forward to expand the game with some features and planning to add lives system or some power up that gives you more than one chance.
Thanks @prepparedheathen for the feedback. I am considering and testing all inputs from all the players. Will expand it after the jam.
Thanks @andidebob for playing the game. Im glad you had fun. I am going to add many new features and possibly a mobile build as well.
@nk-x-x yes I agree it feels a bit unfair. Thanks for your inputs, I have noted them will be updating the game once the jam is over.
Thanks a lot @firesplash-entertainment for playing the game. Unfortunately I missed the stream. I hope I can rewatch my game with others as well.
Thanks a lot @firesplash-entertainment for the quality feedback and all the points made, will be really useful.
Thanks @jay-berlin for playing the game and your feedback. I am already working on expanding the idea and infact picking points from comments where I can improve upon. Thanks
Thank you @aucguy for the feedback. I am looking forward to make certain changes and taking your inputs in consideration thanks.
@mattwoelk I am working on an update and the issue you mentioned is the priority.
@prodigalson Originally I planned to have a random timer, but then I settled for changing food every 10 seconds. The issue is food changes as you are about to click it and that results into instant game over, which feels unfair. I am looking forward to change the system in a way that the player has more time to react to.
@anagf I planned to make it as simple as possible, maybe lack of instructions made it a bit confusing.
Thanks you @mattwoelk @prodigalson and @anagf for playing the game and your valuable feedback.
Thanks @macdoom and @laaph for playing the game and your inputs. I will keep this in mind when I update the game after jam.
Thanks @rjhelms
Very well polished controls. Loved the art style as well. Only if I could play this game for a good few minutes.
- "There should be more guns." , says the local gun ownership advocate group. - "What a great game idea, I call dibs on Drunken shooter game with longer gameplay. Collector edition could come with gun skins!", says games industry spokesman Jared Darklingson, CEO of GAmblingForChildrenIsOK Inc. - "What is a game?", says a wise leader of a country.
- "WE WANT MORE GAMEPLAY", says everyone who played the game.
I liked the game though I died too many times. Voice over and music made it more fun to play.
Awesome game. Loved it playing through. Demanded quite a bit thinking or maybe I am too dumb. :)
Cool idea and quite nice take on the theme. I loved the graphics, sound and gameplay, all comes together very nicely. I just wish I could aim in any direction with my mouse. That's just in my opinion. Overall great fun to play.
Really nice game, very simple and well executed.
Nice game and cool take on the theme. You had me in the main menu I loved it. I think there are some typos in the "How to play" section, but now I think about them they might be intentional. Fun game.
Loved the game overall. Art sis cute music is cool. New mechanics kept the game interesting on each level. Got stuck in level 8(feels impossible). Would love to finish the game, so please upload a video with walkthrough. A solid entry all the best
Fun little game. Just like the others I felt it a bit hard to only carry one item at a time. Had to move child of light and the axe a few inches alternatively.
I really loved the game. Text adventure with good writing is always fun to play. After figuring out the generator password, I kept on dying from either fatigue or the monster. Felt stuck a bit and couldn't complete. Overall a fun experience. Would love to finish it maybe later.
A short but fun game. I found it a bit guessing rather than coming to a logical conclusion. Story telling and writing is good. Information about 3 victims on the same page maybe overwhelming for some people. Overall a fun game. Good luck!
Nice game, I loved the graphics, music and sound FX. I loved how you used lighthouse light radius as health, made it easy to check the health. I wish there was a way to repair the light house.
I really liked the concept and adaptation of the theme. Music was fitting to the theme of the game maybe loop was short and that's why it starts to feel annoying. But overall had fun.
I really liked the game and especially art. Music was fantastic and other sound FX as well. I totally agree with @brusi on each point he made. Level 3 and 4 were quite difficult and I gave up dying many times on level 4. Brcause I had to re do everything again and again. Got annoyed and gave up even though I liked the game and wanted to play it. Overall great potential and a good entry.
AAARRGGGHHHH! Why that stupid egg does not fall where I want it to. I've been walking on egg shells after playing this game as I broke nearly a million eggs trying to complete this game and yet failed to pass even the third level. Very creative take on the theme quite quirky as well .Loved the game so much. Maybe it was a tad more difficult for me.
Loved the game. Graphics are really nice (better than I could ever make). Particle effects were really nice and distinctive for both cases (enemy killed and enemy hit the fire). Progression and difficulty felt quite natural in increasing was not too easy or too difficult. I felt like there was no need for player movement as I shot only from one place almost all the time. Also Firing would have felt more fluid if it was mapped with mouse click. Apart from that I really enjoyed he game.
Really funny game. I loved the idea and adaptation of the theme. Took me a while to know that you need to attack the same wound to drain blood faster.
Nice game. I loved your take on the theme, making an idle/tycoon game. Graphics are simple and nice, music too. I wish I could select one server and place it more than once before clicking it again from the menu. Apart from that the game is fun to play especially time speeding.
Very calm and relaxing game. Loved the day night cycle. Very simple and minimalist look no instructions needed.
Nice adaptation of the theme. Although there were on instructions, it was clear what I needed to do. Some small changes would have make the game feel more responsive. For example, flipping the sprite as @guladam mentioned. Using platform effectors, some particles or FX on death and light circle getting a bit darker on the edges.
Overall I really liked playing the game and it fits the theme very well.
Loved the game. I was able to complete it. It was good start from the same level after dying as starting from all over again is annoying.Graphics were good sound FX too especially when dying, felt like game is mocking me for dying. Nice game overall.
Found your video on youtube and came to play the game. I loved the game and it looks very much polished. Visuals are stunning, the CRT effect is nice and sounds are fitting. Movement effects are really nice adds juice to the game. Overall a great entry. However I am not sure why you went for a 3D model when you could make the same in photoshop in 2D
Gameplay wise I think it was good to have a very simple idea at the core and then build it from there. You did a great job. I felt the colliders were a bit bigger and sometimes I felt hitting them even though the last pulse went pass me. Overall a solid entry especially this is your first jam.
I guess I have to come back tomorrow. Nice idea though
Loved the graphics and gameplay. Awesome game. I felt it a bit difficult for some reason I could get past third level. Also dying and starting from all over again felt a little annoying.
Congratulations on finishing your first game. I enjoyed playing through it. I feel like it's endless game with no win condition. Art is cool and so is music. The game gets challenging after a few plants (that is you plant them at different locations, later I found out you can plant them in one place). As @qfrct suggested adding some rules improve the experience. Overall good effort for your first game.
