Nope

Playability:
Well polished experience even though choices are simple for now. Mechanics work incredibly well and the music and setting add tension in all the right ways. Well done.

Theme:
Fits the theme directly and explores a darker setting for it.

Cleverness: 
Very clever implementation of mechanics in a way that ties them directly to the theme and feel natural to engage with.

Artistic Style: 
Consistent, polished, and non-standard. Looks great and gives the game a lot of character.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad you were able to participate!

Quite a polished game with an interesting concpet, audio and art were great. I bet all my money at the start and was unable to do anything else so I didn't really understand what I was meant to do. But the chat going by looked really cool I liked that part a lot.

Thanks a lot!

Really fun game and a unique concept. Loved the art style it looks super polished and not something you would usually see in a jam entry. The music was pretty nice as well! It took me a bit before I understood the whole placing bet mechanic but after that it was really nice.
I will say the chatting minigame is a bit frustrating in terms of how you delete the messages
But other than that a really good jam entry :D

What a fun game you made in such a short period. I think there’s a lot of space this could grow in. My main critique would be that clicking on comments was an unfun mini game, mainly because clicking on the chats was very aggravating controls wise.

Very well done! Great job!

Developer

Thanks for feedback! I agree  about mini game, it not polished

Smart and interesting game loop. The game is intense.  Whatever you what to deliver I think is well communicated.

The art and soundtrack complement one another really well. They are beautiful. I didn't completely understand my goal, but I figured it out in the end. This is really cool!

Developer

Thanks a lot, we have some problem with intro and FTUE, but in jam we don't have time for improve this 

Thank you very much! o(>ω<)o

Very addictive game! Music and art is incredible. And the idea is magnificent. My only nit pick is I found the section to delete chat a little unresponsive, saying that however it's of a nice difficulty level when trying to earn money. Top tier work!

Developer

Thanks for positive asnwer!

Main track slaps so much. Love the art style too! Gameplay loop could use some polishing, but for such a short time its still an amazing entry :P (please upload the main theme that starts playing after initial voting to soundcloud/spotify, I NEED it on repeat haha)

We worked really hard to create the right atmosphere.

Here's a link to our soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/despireteam/sets/votecide

I agree that i had some confusion as well. I wasn't sure if my objective was for him to survive or not. And trying to delete chat messages was annoying when it's moving all over the place, it was easier for me to just ignore that part with nearly no consequences.

Very cool vibe to it from the art direction. I did find it a bit confusing when it came to actual gameplay. I mostly just like spam click deleting chat messages. Maybe changing the penalty from losing money (which honestly I didn't notice how much money I was gaining or losing from it) to instead be you cant delete another chat message for 1 second or something when you delete a good message. 

Thank you so much! We worked really hard to create cool art (´。• ᵕ •。`)

Fairly dark/morbid.  Not that far off from some streamer chats.  Cool entry.
