The jumping is a bit janky. Otherwise, it really felt like playing an old .exe creepypasta game that was popular back in the day. I quite enjoyed it.

- Very cool concept and pretty good art at the end, as well as sound. I think if anything the difficulty could've progressed more. I went to 4000 points thinking there might've been something, since this game is in the same line as those SONIC.EXE type games, and I feel like those reward exploration of weird things. Pretty good concept
- This was the most unique entry in the entire jam, and I absolutely love the idea! This turned a mundane every day game into an anomaly game lol. Speaking of which, I totally believe you should turn it into an anomaly game where as soon as you see something off, you have to quit to the main menu, or something similar. Regarding feedback on this specific game, the first time I was unable to progress past the first anomaly, because it wasn't obvious what to do past the 400 hint you had in the description. While I like the idea that its upto the player to be surprised, its a balancing act so that the anomalies happen as the player would play naturally, instead of them having to figure out and try a bunch of random things. I hope it made sense. Don't mind the bias toward anomaly games, I think this should definitely be a bigger anomaly game project! Good luck!
- What feedback one could give to genius? It does what it is meant to do perfectly. That's all.
- I really liked the idea behind this one. The whole “super normal dinosaur game, nothing weird here” setup immediately made me suspicious, and the 400 point rule made me want to see what would happen. Game has a creepy feeling. I won't spoil what happens, but I liked how simple the setup was while still managing to make me curious about what was coming. Short, simple, and surprisingly unsettling. Good job!
- ( •̀ ω •́ )✧ THE GAME is like a scam game :) Where it appears to be totally normal until a certain point and then boom... I couldn't understand much of the game.
