NOTE FOR JONNY AND THE BIP TEAM: The (fixed) version was made after the jam and should not be counted for any ranking.

Very fun! Its like fnaf, but relaxing? I really like this game, would love to see a version of it fixed. When I died (about day 12?), it sent me all the way back to day 1, but there was a lightbulb at the top right now? Also I died almost instantly again when I "respawned", I dont know why :p But the game is really good, just fixing that one bug would make it really fun! (And Im pretty sure youre allowed to fix bugs like that one before its added to the 50 collection) (21/25 stars!)

Hi, I just fixed the save bug, so I now have a version that is properly playable. I also looked back through the jam announcement video, and Jonny said it was if there was a game breaking bug with "the steam version", which seems vague enough to maybe have the fix in the collection. I'll have to ask about that on the discord.

As for the game being "like fnaf, but relaxing?" I LOVE THAT, and that was just about the feeling I wanted people to have :3

As a gift for you making me feel a little more confident about this, if you type T R A N S in quick enough succession, the egg gets trans colors(this is also in the initial build, not just the fixed one)

I'm going to put the fixed version on the (non-submission)itch.io page for whoever wants to play it, but I'll have it clearly labeled to not effect the jam.

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU

Edit: I can't add the fixed version till the jam is over. Makes since but kinda sucks. I'll add it after the jam though :3

Nice! And yeah the game is really solid and charming, and Ill give the "easter egg" a shot :3

Just a heads up, I added a fixed build on the itch.io page :)

Im gonna put it out there as the person who made this. While it would be very generous to make it into top 100, I HATE this release build. The game is supposed to save your progress through the in-game weeks, but it was my first time making a save system, and it apparently just doesn't SAVE. A part of me is proud of this, cause this is the first non-prototype game I've made. Another part of me REALLY DOES NOT WANT JONNY TO PLAY THIS. I plan to fix and expand on this game for a proper steam release in the future, but this game jam build is stuck as my little homunculus child.

I think he said youre allowed to fix any severe game breaking bugs in the final release if you make it to the top 50 (top 50 go in the steam game, top 100 are voted by mods to get *into* the final 50)

I hope and pray that's true

Loved the art style, and was a very interesting concept.

It's very charitable of you to call it interesting, not good, not bad, INTERESTING.

Well this is interesting. Good job
