How does the game fit the theme?
When I saw the theme, I immediately thought of labyrinths. The whole concept/idea of them is that they are strange/unfamiliar. Then I thought, how can I make this stranger? Gnomes. Portals. Finger guns. Gnome tracking.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Dithering shaders are from another project, audio manager as well, player movement is from another project and tweaked, most of the sound is from the Echoes - Audio Super Kit and some sound found on some websites.

This one is my favorite one so far! Dude, even if you don't win you really should keep working on this game. I wanna see it on Steam with like 20 levels! :D I'd buy it!

5:40 not great not terrible time. Great game and gnome sounds are awesome, the finger tracking is so satisfying for some reason. GJ

I like the feeling of taking the little's guys life. how they run and run, but in the end there is no place where they can escape. To think of their last thoughts as the concept of mortality engulfs their petite heads. 

A cute game, really fun to play! :3

I couldn't stop playing this game after getting on it for the first time. I needed. to. hunt. the. gnomes..

Had fun hunting the gnomes! Thought it would be the opposite initially. Definitely a strange place. The controls were a bit weird on my browser, but made it work.

First 25 seconds i thought I was one of the gnomes escaping, then there was a mass murdering.
