Ranked from 107 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

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.

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at the playthrough again in the future here's the VOD timestamped to your game

Funny gnomes with good sound effects when they try to run away from you

Very great and simple game! Perhaps add a  gnome boss at the end with some comedic dialogue about revenge, that would totally suit the vibe! 5 Stars :)

Perhaps you would like to try out my game :D

Simple, effective, and very funny.

The gnome laughs are great.
A leaderboard would be a nice addition.
Well done! 💚
Feel free to check out our game too.

’ve always known that slaying dwarves would be a blast, but I never actually got the chance to do it until now! The visuals were killer, and the environment perfectly matched the theme. It took me a bit to realize I had to right-click to find them, but once I did, it was on! Great work!


if you have some free time,I'd be happy if you tried my game.

What a shame there is no global leader board.

As I was killing zombies I started thinking about myself, why I'm doing this? Do the gnomes deserve all of this pain I'm causing? Man this made me think about how I deal with conflicts.. 10/10

The confetti effect was perfect and made killing them brutally fun.
I found really useful the 'compass' hand that made it more satisfying, instead of going around without knowing where to go.
Just one thing is that I would have loved a run button to sprint through the labirinth and kill them 🏃🏃
Overall really enjoyed it!

Nice implementation! The finger gun is so amusing.

I LOVED ITTTT!! It was similar to another game that i had made, so it really brought some nice memories to mind

Why are we killing gnomes? Are they evil? Why are they filled with confetti? 5/5 would shoot gnomes again

Submitted(+1)

Definitely strange and strangely fun. When I got to the last few gnomes I started to feel guilty about my murderous rampage, but it was still fun to watch them go boom. Amazing audio.
