I would love to rate yours in exchange for the 42th vote, but i'm colorblind and yep, ain't gonna improve that enjoyment rating... yep ahah xD
Great art / sound design tho! Very satisfying to drop shit in its mouth !
Thank you for playing! :D
Yeah, I will work on the colorblind accessibility after the jam. Planned is a quick setting where you can toggle the types of colorblindness!
Very fun game! The only problem I have with it is that if a person is near the edge of the screen it wont let you grab it.
Thank you for playing! :D
Yeah it's a known issue. I will work on that after the jam! :)
Geez, I had no idea I was so bad at matching colors lol
I liked the theme and the visuals! Great job!
Best score 9300. Visual really did the heavy lifting here and game was simple but enjoyable. A couple of notes: I assumed that whole machine screen could be fed not only the mouth part and would have been usable that dragged person would have stayed where dropped and not to return as it was difficult to get the wanted person behind from it. Pleasing entry!
There is not that much to the gameplay, but the art is super cool, well polished and stylized. Good Job!
That's quite a simple idea but very well made. The mood is quite somber and I love it. I have to say I struggled a bit with the gameplay since it was hard too catch some of the characters. It would have been great also that you can release humans you pick to another place so you can tidy a bit the crowd. But great work! Thanks!
Love the art style. Fun and executed super well. Great submission!
A simple game elevated by a great theme and fantastic art. Well done!
This was a very well rounded and overall polished game. Obviously extremely simple but it's solid nonetheless
Thank you for playing! :)
Very cool submission! Very simple, but clean and fun to get new highscores. I would probably like some feedback for which person I am currently hovering, like an outline or similar. It seems like there is a deeper message buried within this seemingly simple setting.
The game is great and when I say great, I mean the way it makes you feel. The creativity, graphics, sound, and narrative are all perfect imo, but I wouldn’t call the experience enjoyable. I’m an empathetic person, and I felt a tightness in my chest while playing. Great game!
Thank you for playing! :D
Yeah the topic hits me hard as well. Hope you could enjoy it still! :)
Man I love the vibe and the theme on this one. Also the artstyle, in particular THE MACHINE and it's big mouth is fantastic. I definitely realized how poor I am at distinguishing some similar colors. But this was great, awesome job!
Thank you! I‘m glad you liked it.
Yeah the color system needs some polish. I can work on it after the jam! :)
"FEED THE MACHINE" is an excellent manual for techno-entrepreneurs to learn all the basics about running an AI startup. Despite its simple graphics and gameplay, the game perfectly encapsulates the core message: ethics are irrelevant, the only thing that matters is achieving Growth™ and Innovation™.
Thank you for playing! <3
…oh gosh no, I don’t want it to be an manual!!! :(
