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.

I’m surprised at how addicting the game play loop is. I think the fact that the core loop is so simple just speaks to the amount of polish in the visuals and audio. Great job! I think this might reach the top entries.
Good silly fun - could be broken up with a lower number of required 'points' to get past first level. That many targets for a single level with no changes to environment or audio gets repetitive. Audio mix was slightly too hot and could use some variation.
it took me awhile cause I dont have a mouse lol
my hand goes: piu piu
gnomes go: *die*
love the sillyness. Poor gnomes!
This definitely felt strange and I'm loving it. So simple and so much fun!
They can run but they can't HIDE!!!
I enjoyed exterminating gnomes a little too much in this! This was addicting, the polish and feedback are insane, you nailed it. One of the best games, good job!
By far the funniest game of the jam ! So simple yet so fun xD Congrats on the polish too.
For a silly little run around and shoot dudes game, I genuinely enjoyed it a lot! I have no idea why I'm supposed to be shooting these guys, but the confetti burst and screen shake when you hit one is way too satisfying!
beautiful.
This game is really deep. I liked it!
Perfection
Simply incredible. I cannot think of a single thing that would improve the game
This is incredibly fun!
Really well executed, great work!
Awesome game, a brilliant idea executed perfectly. The only thing that would've made it better is a mouse sensitivity setting, it was a bit hard for me to play as my mouse was super slow. Great work!
Thanks for the comment! I wish I would have had more than 5 days for this jam and I definitely would have added it, I had a settings page set up, but not enough time to fully get it working. Will add it after the jam because it is important indeed :)
coolest finger guns I've ever seen!
I never tought that kill a lot of gnomes will fill my soul! THIS IS FUCKING CINEMA!
hihihiha 🧙🏼🍄
I had to kill them all, I just had to, that stupid squeak made me! Very cool and simple execution, kudos dude!
