How does your game fit the theme?
It’s a satirical game that critiques short-form video platforms (e.g., TikTok) for encouraging users to ignore real, important problems. It explores three recurring loops: (1) social disconnection, (2) daily reel consumption, and (3) disrupted sleep routines.

Poor Patches.
I have rarely had such fits of laughter in a jam (yes, I love degenerate humor), and today’s social media presentation couldn’t really be more accurate. An excellent interpretation of the loop theme, with nice drawings and very well staged reels! (I think the only thing that would have been missing for a completely realistic portrayal would have been violent and offensive videos, but I think it’s a good thing that you didn’t include those, lmao)
Bonus points for my brother Duolingo who made a brief appearance!

Cabin in a DreamOhhhhh the concept is so simple yet working so well! It realllllly feels like we are too much often this cat. I loved the artworks, the memes, the neverending notifications, the jokes… well everything! Thank you for this gem!

MigratoRaceDang, it got real at the very end... Great way to comment on how we can be stuck in a loop, kinda like how my character is in my game. I enjoyed every reel, they were hilarious! Awesome and cute little game!

loopshakesThis is my day to day life experience way too much, I loved every moment of this. I got a lot of good laughs when going through the shorts you made for this

RePete MinerThis game reminds me it was a good solution for me to never install TikTok.
(even though Youtube shorts gets me doomscrolling sometimes...........)
Really cute and cool game !

Endless SleepLoved the group text distractions at the top and the meta GMTK mentions, haahaaaa relatable! I wish you could interact with the group chat but understand that wasn't within the scope of the game. The cat-themed reels were silly, but I expected them to change from day to day as you move through the game loop. Very fun take on the theme!
