Game description
Nothing to say, just the first game i made and it's terrible.

Theme interpretation
My game interprets the WAVE theme as waves of emotions. Players adjust the emotional levels as waves rise and fall, matching the character's changing emotional state.

From a gameplay, graphical, and scope perspective, this game should suck. But It's also undeniably hypnotizing. From the jump I knew the game wouldn't end and the depth I experienced would not expand, but damn if I didn't keep playing for a good 5 minutes. I honestly can't explain it. Someone might compare the gimmick of this game to 'Who's Lila?', but I think that would be dead wrong.
We are capturing the feeling of drawing on ms paint for the first time with this one. We are capturing playing with the car stereo while we wait for our parents to be done at the atm with this one. We are capturing the complexity of understanding ours and others emotions with this one. You've got the sauce you just need to learn to cook.

I really like what you're going for here. Great interpretation of the theme. The interface is clean and the art simple but effective. My only criticism is that there can be more feedback when selecting the right/wrong emotion. Maybe briefly flash the emotion's color? Also percentage bar could maybe use some tweaking. I kept getting fear 50% and I'm pretty sure I had the bar directly in the middle, but that just goes back to needing more feedback. All in all I'd say this is a great first game. Good job, keep it up.

Hello! You took the most important step, which was trying. More than 5,000 people signed up for the jam, and out of those, less than 740 actually participated. Your game can be improved, don’t get discouraged. My suggestions are the following:
- It’s confusing to know whether the game has an end or not; you should list the number of tasks that need to be completed and show a victory screen at the end.
- It’s also very confusing to know what percentage of emotion I’m at if the bar doesn’t have any divisions.
