How does the game fit the theme?
The player is a god in a strange utopian world where they must use powers to contain a follower trying to escape.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We used four sound effects from Pixabay, and all other code and assets were created during the jam.

What a beautiful game, the creamy pastels and cute little guys were so pleasant! Very innovative game design and once you figure out what you are doing, it becomes very enjoyable! Good job :)
This is such a clever twist on the theme. The whole god-maintaining-control angle is funny. Love how the last line on the game over screen really ties the jam's theme together.
The art style is very charming and the music is oddly chill for how stressful it gets lol. I managed to subdue the defector in a permanent cloud-cage. Love the little character reactions too when they get blocked.
Fun concept, great vibe, and it's the kind of jam game that makes you go "ok one more try" immediately.
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it!
A fun gameplay, but I keep losing and wonder if there is another ending.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you had fun but yeah, there is a winning ending as well. Some people find it hard to win, It's kinda our fault that we did not have a tutorial or an easier level. But to win you kinda have to keep spamming the coulds to trap the escapee and maybe use the bread if he gets away to lure him back. Keep in mind that you can zoom out with the scroll wheel.
This game is so cute. I love the visual! The game is simple but very fun to play. Great work :)
Thanks a lot!
The art style is sooo Cuteee!
The game was fun and the art style is very nice!! You guys did great ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧
Thanks!!
Game looks quite nice. Could use some more feedback when selecting and using abilities. Also it felt like the escapee was going quite fast and it was quite difficult to block them with clouds for example.
Thanks, appreciate your feedback!
Love the color palette and visuals. The pixel art is cute. Good job !
The art and music is great. The game concept is fun and I like how the escapee gets annoyed after a little bit and stops trying for a second, Overall a very well made game!
The concept is really funny ! I did won with only cloud and play again to try the other power. The disappointed face of the character when he got stop is lovely XD
I hope you will take time after the jam to add an option/lvl to increase the number of character which try to escape.
Well done !
Feel free to try our game !
It's a neat little game. I like the visuals and the contrast between it and the philosophical nature of the game. What I would recommend is adding more UI elements to make the game more clear to the players. For example, visualized ability cooldowns, indicator on where the heretic is and where they're going, what is a path and what is not, etc.. It's very funny to see the heretic being pushed into water and then starts walking on water Jesus style, but I do think a more careful physics system will help improving the gameplay. Good work.
Haha yeah the collisions are not the best :_) Thanks for your feedback!!
Cute game! Great style!
Thanks!
Love the art style!!
Really fun premise! The cloud is a bit overpowered but I still had a great time. The Visuals are incredible too! all the sprites are so full of character.
Pretty simple game. I like the aesthetic a lot.
Strange game, I don't understand her, grafic is cute and music спокойная
Will play my game please
Congrats on the first game!
Some thoughts: - Would appreciate being able to go fullscreen or zoom out a bit more, don't know if that was intentional, but had a tiny window to play in browser and it made it difficult to understand the level layout and follow the action, that also left very little reaction time to stop the creatures.
- I would like an onboarding phase with smaller steps, like creating one super easy level with just one slow creature where you learn the powers, for example.
- Would be good to be able to skip dialogue when restarting.
Good job overall, aesthetics and vibe are great, it is a very strange place!
Thanks! Really appreciate your feedback :)
Great Visual and Concept! The cloud seems a little too op which don't need other skills though LOL
nice game with great visual and sounds
the art and music, the overall vibe of the game is so chill, yet the controls and the time pressure is such an adrenaline rush if fits together perfectly for me. very enjoyable, a bit hard to understand first. good job guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
