Our submissions had the same name, so I had to come check out your game! I hope that you don't let the fact that you didn't finish discourage you. Take what you have learned from this experience and apply it towards your next project. You should be really proud of entering your first game jam. In the words of Rob Schneider in every Adam Sandler movie, "You can do it!"

Great minds think alike! (although sometimes in different ways). It's always cool when people have similar ideas and take them in different directions. I'm about to play y'alls game and I'm already super impressed just from your game page alone.
Thanks for the supporting words I really do appreciate the support and advice :)

I see your vision, though its not at the state you wanted it to be, its absolutely ok and great that you learned from it. Its clear you have ideas, skills come next and your on the right path by doing something like this. Don't forget the key to game dev is "failing faster". Hope you finish it or start another great idea, keep it up! 

Btw nice art

Developer

Thanks for the encouraging words I really appreciate it! And I for sure will keep trying and learning that I promise

I think the base gameplay idea here is really cool and creative! 

One of the best parts about game jams to me is that, no matter how your game turns out at the end, you still end up learning a lot in the process of making it, so I'm glad you we're able to get that kind of experience!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate the support :) and I totally agree

Good on you for submitting anyway!

I can definetly see the vision. I messed around with this for a couple of minutes and thought about where i would take this design wise, so i still had fun with it. Hope you had fun working on it too.

Developer

Thank you! I've also been thinking about the game design and how to make the gameplay fit with the theme. I definitely had fun working on it and I'm going to keep iterating in the future!

This game is literally unplayable, but thanks for checking out my submission page! If you want to read about the idea behind the game and what was theoretically in scope, I wrote something small in the description on the game page.
