Really like the art style, it's quite interesting. I felt there really weren't enough hints about what to do, even if it is meant to be more of a toy at this stage, I think things could more clearly indicate that they can be interacted with. Given more time, I'm sure this could be really intriguing.

This entry is unusual but definitely intriguing the expressive art gives it a lot of personality and makes it stand out right away. The mechanics feel a bit underdeveloped, so at times it left me clicking without much happening, but the concept has clear potential if built out further. Overall, it’s an interesting start, and I’d be excited to see where you take it from here. And since we’re sharing jam games, I’d love if you also gave mine a try.

I clicked like a mad man but nothing really happened. Liked the art though :)

Developer

You got officially trolled. But for real i just managed my time poorly and whatnot. I did intend to make a fuller game... haha

Strange but interesting entry, the art is cool!

Thanks for the feedback.


Sadly i couldn't give it all the time i should have given it, for many reasons including my poor time management lol.


Next time i'm gonna be the art guy and have a bro do the programming, game design or something haha...

The art is super expressive. Why is there a camera behind the treefood though?

Developer

It's an obscure reference.

But the idea was that the camera was used to view hidden stuff, like in that movie (which i didn't watch) where the dude puts the glassess and sees "obey" and "consume" and stuff instead of the normie ad panels and whatnot...

Sadly i miscalculated the time, and tbh i got an appointment i didn't think about that took 3 whole days off, i mean perhaps not whole but coming after a trip to the Capital to develop for like 1h didn't seem worth it tbh....


I'll try to perhaps continue it. Tbh i wanted to make a puzzle game long ago but i'm not so good at making puzzles, i'm good at getting random ideas but not at making finished game loops... so i'll probably try to make a team with some bros i know.


Thanks for the feedback, glad you played it (even if the game is just clicking 3 things and waiting 35 seconds for a text to appear lol).
