I love the little sweat drop on the guys as they get fed into the machine. Great game!
Sick art, and really cool idea for a game, good job!!!
Thank you! :)
Wow, some colours are really similar sometimes.
I love the style of the background.
Thanks for playing! :)
Without some similar colors the game would be too easy I guess! :D
grate art style! nice job!
Oh man, this reminds me so much of We Become What We Behold in the entire vibe this has, and I mean this in a very good way. I feel like my entire anxiety towards AI has been captured all at once! Good job, very poetic game
Super important topic, which hurts my heart. I hope I didn't play it down somehow...
Glad you liked it, and thank you for playing my game. Means a lot to me! <3
Dark-funny idea of feeding people to the machine, reminds me of... work? haha loved the gameplay, congrats!
Thanks! <3
Fun lil idea! :3
A simple but fun game. Great art style. I liked all the little guys moving around and their faces changing when you pick them up. Feeding the big computer was really satisfying. Would love to see this expanded with more mechanics. What you have is very polished. Great job!
Thank you for the kind words! :) <3
Means a lot to me... :)
I really like the concept and design! It took me a second attempt to understand the gameplay. At first, it seemed easy, but the overlapping characters made it surprisingly challenging.
I’d love to see more complications, such as the victims trying to escape or being harder to catch. A few more sound effects would also make the game feel more satisfying, though I understand there wasn’t much time during the jam. Great work!
Thank you! <3
Yeah... sadly the time is always an issue. :D
But I'm glad you liked it in the end! :)
Thanks for playing! :)
The art looks really nice and its a simple yet fun use of the theme!
Thank you! :)
Loved the art style, and the message is simple and efficient!
The gameplay is fun but a bit repetitive and the idea of speeding le countdown work but leave not much room to the player to go far with the score, maybe some little mecanics with goal to add difficulty and which could replace the countdown speeding could be better? like maybe the AI screen beginning to move on the sides or having more details on the character to accentuate their individuality (like a specific hat on them), the Ai then will require not only the color but also a people with a specific hat!
and if you want to keep the speeding up of the count down, you could do this on specific conditions, like a joker where you have the right AI people with the right color not moving on the up part of the machine that can be eaten, but not only the counterpart is that joker color is only use but also this is when you do this that the machine speed up! (like when you feed to much AI on one AI and it become worse at his job! ^^)
Anyway Good job! Your game was fun and it takes me some try's to have this score!
Thank you so much for such a detailed feedback! <3
I had a specific score and in my case I'm more on the artistic side. What I mean: I'm a loser at coding haha
All the mechanics you've mentioned sound super fun and I keep them in mind, thanks! :D
Simple and fun, I like the game. I really got a good rhythm going for a bit there.
Thank you! Glad you liked it! <3
Very creative idea. Simple but enjoyable, the dialogue at the top of the screen made the game much more interesting. But it did take me a few seconds to understand what I am supposed to do. the art style is pretty as well.
Thank you! <3
Yeah, a short intro or a tutorial would solve the issue. I will keep that in mind for my future jams! :)
Such a creative and funny idea! the art was beautiful but the gameplay got a little stale after a while. i think to up the difficulty, you could add in more shades of color that are harder to differentiate, or even maybe your victims start to struggle and escape your grip? overall though it was sooo polished and left me wanting more!
Thank you! <3
Haha I had some plans but not so much time at the end... had to scrap away other shades of colors. Textures (like crosses, circles, squares etc.) were also planned, but there was just not enough time. :D
Such a beautiful looking game!
Wish i could throw the ppl away when there is overlapping but hey the 67 reference make up for that haha
best itch.io page i've seen so far!
Thanks a lot! :)
Yeah, I get what you mean. I wish I had more time to balance things out. :D
Wow thanks, hearing that means a lot! :)
Uuuber creative, this is a black mirror episode waiting to happen!
Haha thanks! I would love to see such an episode lmao (but not become reality...)
Excellent presentation!
Great idea!! The art is lovely and the itch page it´s on another level, really good job man :) doing all this in 4 days it´s impressive.
To be fair, I set up the itch page after the jam ended, haha! :D
Smart move ;)
HOW??? How did you make this in only 4 days. This game was amazing and so polished. It felt like a full steam game damn. Great job!!!
Thanks you, it means a lot to me! <3
I worked on this solo (minus the music and SFX), so I kept it really simple. That simplicity gave me a ton of time to focus on polish. :D ...not saying it's perfect by any means, haha! xD
What a good looking and polished game. Great one.
Thanks a lot! :)
