How does your game fit the theme?
It's about a game developer that tries to make a jam game. He is just getting started to make level 1.

This was a very well done and fun platformer! I love how the level slowly progresses and new obstacles and mechanics are added. The narration was also very well done. Great work, especially on your first game jam!
Thank you so much! Really glad the progression and narration stood out to you :) Appreciate the kind words!
omg? this was actually surprisingly a lot of fun! this is an amazing job for your first game!
Glad you had fun with it! That means a lot, thank you so much!
great game, it did feel like the perfectionism of level design, you really got that across quite well :)
Thanks a lot! Really happy that came through, it was a big part of what I wanted to capture :)
i cant see your rating on the game tho, idk if thats a error in my bot but remember to save your score after rating the scores :)
thanks, i was about to leave it without rating lol :)
Great game, i think you got the idea from that one level again, right? You did a good job adapting it to this theme.
Thanks! Yep, That Level Again was definitely an inspiration. Glad to hear it worked well with the theme!
very cool game, clearly takes heavy inspiration from IamTagir's that level again but it is clear that you put your own spin on it and the presentation is very nice, the opening cutscene felt a bit long but bar that there isn't really much criticism to give you done a solid job and it feels like the game done what it sought out to do quite well.
Appreciate it a lot! Yeah i took some inspiration from That Level Again. Totally fair point about the intro. Thanks for playing!
Loved your take here. The narration, art style and iterative level really sell the idea of a dev struggling to get an idea out and is quite fun to witness! The paper starting to tear and addition of coffee stains were also a really nice touch! Really creative, great presentation and quite fun!
The only thin I would like to point out is that the left wall doesn't stop you from falling into the void in some levels (funnily enough, not in all levels...).
Thank you so much! I was aware of the the left wall bug and i tried to fix it but it seems there are some aspect of it that i couldnt catch cuz its not consistent. I dont know why, every level has collision on the walls floor and ceiling but sometimes collision algorithm doesnt wanna work with ONLY left walls sometimes.
I really enjoyed your narration and your take on the theme! The art and narrator's personality added a lot of charm to your game. Great work!
Thanks a lot! Super happy to hear the narration and personality stood out, that was a fun part to work on :)
Peak creativity in Shovel Game Jam.
Thank you! That means a ton :)
Guy you're SO creative. idk if you know but a very similar game(that same level again) exist. But you took it to another level, wit irl interactions on the notebook. So amazing ! five stars dude
Appreciate it a lot!! Yeah I know that level again, huge inspiration and I’m really glad the notebook twist stood out :) Thanks for the kind words!
This is out of this world! Really nailed the theme 1000%! Extremely creative, congratulations on your first jam, dude!
Thank you!! That means a lot, so glad it came across well and felt true to the theme :)
Great job on your first game jam! I like how many unique levels you were able to come up with a very simple scene and mechanic. Was sort of sad you didn't follow through on the death mechanic which you called "too gimmicky", feel like there was some nice potential with it haha. But great game, was a very fun play!
Thanks a lot! Really glad you had fun with it :) And yeah, totally agree the death mechanic had more potential, wish I had time to explore it further!
That was just like playing that level again but after 10 years! Really funny and creative! Greaaaat job!
Thank you!! Really glad you enjoyed it.
The idea is so creative, I love it. The story telling was fantastic and the art was really cute. Could have had maybe a bit more challenge, but still has so much fun. Absolutely an amazing game, probably the closest to the jam's theme I have seen so far!
Thank you so much! Really happy you enjoyed the story and the style :) And yeah, I agree, it could’ve used a bit more challenge. Glad it still landed well and felt on-theme!
Wow really really creative and cool art..Got stuck at the KYS level because I didnt knew the KYS means kill yourself lol
Completed the game and i am waiting for new levels in new notebook :D
Amazing effort bro :)
Glad you pushed through and finished it! Really appreciate the kind words :)
Really creative! Loved all the concepts, already waiting for level 2 >:)
Thx :)
AWESOME, JUST AWESOME. It just goes through the whole creative process with ideas that might come into anyone's mind and to cap it all off with the fourth wall thing of the holes, the coffee and the fire. I enjoyed this probably too much based on how simple the level itself and the graphics are but I wish you the best of luck.
Really appreciate it!! Thanks a lot for playing!
nice game!!
i like that it keeps adding things to the same map
im curious which game engine you used
Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed the way the game progresses.
I was making it on godot but i realized cuz of the simplicity of the game i could make it faster in scratch. So this is a scratch project.
thats sick! im impressed
Some of these were really clever, the concept is fun, and the humour just brings it together even better! Well done!
Thanks a lot! Really happy to hear the humor landed well :)
I love the humor. The idea of making a game about thought proces of making a game is briliant!
I have to admit some of the levels were good enough to ship imo! (It wasn't too gimmicky!)
Good job!
Thank you! That really means a lot, i wish i had more time to expand that "gimmicky" gameplay element to some more levels haha :) Super happy you enjoyed it!
I love how the game “progressively” builds the level bit by bit and we get to play each of those. And also when the player dies, it leaves a ghost at that point.
Creative idea and loved the artwork, nice game!
EDIT: And I love how it never gets past level 1 even if it has so many of them 😂
Thank you! Super glad you noticed all those little touches :) Appreciate the kind words!
