How does the game fit the theme?
You start by trusting your game jam teammates to do their assigned work, but quickly discover that no one is actually getting anything done. You’re forced to check everyone’s work and take over their tasks yourself.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All game code and artwork were created from scratch during the jam. The music was created by my brother, voice acting was provided by Takazo Hall, and the Japanese translation was provided by Arisa Takenaka Trombley. Sound effects were also created from scratch

Very cool interpretation of the theme! Art is really charming, and the audio is great! VA is also cool to see in a game jam game! Minigames were fun, and the story is hilarious, definitely one of if not the most creative concept I've seen this jam XD
Only thing I noticed that bothered me a bit was the slight delay when typing the story of the game, very minor thing, other than that, gameplay felt nice and smooth!
Very much enjoyed playing this one! Keep it up :D
Really loved this little game, unfortunately way too relatable haha. The minigames are fun and the whole experience has a lot of charm. One small issue I noticed in the art minigame: with brush size 1, if I drag across multiple squares, the first one sometimes doesn't get painted. Other than that, really enjoyable. Amazing work!
Such a great take on the theme!! Making a game about not being able to trust your game jam teammates with deadlines is hilarious XDD
The intro and ending animations were definitely my favorite parts, and there's even voice acting!!
Really fun game, and I enjoyed the little minigames in each level too! :D
I really like the story and I think the game is pretty fun!!
Art.
(very fun take on the theme, and great execution!! Cool stuff!)
The plot implementation of the jam theme turned out awesome!

You even made a (good) trailer !
I had a lot of fun. This is a short game, but a good game. It's well scaled, the mini-games were nice to play. I enjoyed the plot with the "mise-en-abime" as we say in French. You also used many artistic skills in a good way, it's rare yo see games with custom art, custom music, custom voices... Well done !
Really love the cinematic and the gameplay; the typing part is a bit difficult, but the experience is really solid. Great job!
This was really well done! I loved how it was short, but you used every second to its advantage. Good job!
Peak. Peak.
I was laughing way too much at the story. It's definitely a very creative take on the jam's theme. Overall, I enjoyed this a lot.
Nice and polished and very relatable! Played to the end
Sometimes main character in cutscene talks in mono, which is a little spooky
Hahaha, I laughed a lot playing this game. Really great teamwork!
this game is a great one that is meant to be played one time It reflects the theme so well The team work on this game is great And idk how you made a good story with poop, goop and poopgoop
It was very creative, and I found it quite fun to play through; however, one critique I do have is making it so that for the typing one, you show all the text, since I would try to predict words but would be wrong. Also, it makes it way more fun to read :). Great Job!
Thank you for the feedback :) you're right about that!
Very creative take on the theme! I also liked the flow of the game, and how the cutscenes add to the story in a good way.
So far, it’s been the most creative execution of the theme, I loved it!
It is simple, but it is fun (and accurate XD), I love the cut scenes.
I LOVED THIS! It was so innovative! The art, animation, voice acting, audio, all the aspects were so good! But more than that, it felt so relatable QWQ I gotta say, the animations and the voice acting were my favorite part even tho the gameplay itself was also fun. Everything tied together so well!
