How does the game fit the theme?
The “Trust No One” theme comes from the Supervisor AI pretending to guide you while actually trying to make you late, so you have to decide when to trust it and when to rely on yourself. It’s also a small metaphor for the current state of the game industry and job market, where even systems meant to help you can sometimes work against you.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Character control, volumetric clouds, UI system.

Unfortunately the game lagged a lot on my computer :( which is sad because it looks really fun and I was looking forward to playing it. I think the graphics look really good and the music was catchy, but I wasn't able to make it very far because of the lag.

Counting SheepI loved the little animations of the characters panicking as you’re about to get fired. The sound effects really added to the humor. Well Done!

Poker MafiaClean game! Did not expect a cracked out movement game for this theme so I was pleasantly surprised. I think it would have fit the theme better if there were false routes that may be extremely hard or close to impossible (or at least that's what I was expecting).

Order in the CourtVeerrry slick, really fun time with the movement! It was tough to get a hang of stopping on a dime especially on the platforms. I think it could use something to smooth out that transition a bit better.

Order in the CourtVery fun game with incredible mechanics. Can definitely see this game being the type to be in the background of a commentary youtube video, and it's the most fun I've had with a game jam game so far... however I'm not sure how it fits the theme.

The SearchYeah, I can see why the theme might not be super obvious at first xD The Supervisor AI acts like a really smart navigator that’s there to help you, but it’s actually trying to make you late. That’s where the "Trust No One" part comes in you have to decide when to listen to it and when to shut it up and trust yourself instead. There’s also a small metaphor in there about the current state of the game industry and the job market, where even systems that are supposed to help you can sometimes work against you. Thanks a lot for playing and for pointing it out!
Cool game from what I’ve seen, but to hard for me. I did tried mastering it for like 10-15 minutes, but never made it through the encounter where you have to create your own platforms mid flight.
With that said, I don’t have much to critique there besides the fact that I don’t see how the theme of the jam is implemented there, but probably I just never made it to that point.
Congratulations on the submission, you did a great job!

Late Night Pawn ShopThe "Trust No One" theme comes from the Supervisor AI pretending to help you like some super smart navigator, while actually trying to slow you down and make you late for work. Since you’re not supposed to trust anyone, you can choose to silence it and rely on yourself instead. So the whole idea is figuring out when to listen to it and when to ignore it if you want to make it to work on time :D It’s also kind of a metaphor for the rough time both the game industry and the job market are going through right now, where even the systems that are supposed to help you can sometimes end up working against you. Thanks a lot for playing and for the feedback!
The visuals, effects, and overall responsiveness of the gameplay all feel really good, but what impressed me the most was the UI/UX.
I especially liked the motion in the UI and the way the control prompts are integrated naturally into the game world. Those details left a really strong impression on me.

Peaceful FlockThe character controller and movement feel ridiculously smooth and responsive, seriously some of the most satisfying movement mechanics I’ve played in this genre! I completely missed the control hints on the rooftops and just figured it out by intuition, but the flow and overall polish are great

Deceiver's TombHolyy... Karlson type movement flow bro how does one even achieve this that too in 1 week?! Flipping of the AI is hilarious lol. My only issue was that I thought that the yellow glowing lines where lava so that caused my some deaths when I tried to jump before it. But I think that is just my problem. Graphics are amazing too! Full 5 on everything

Someone left earlyWow, really beautiful map, great music, great voice acting and the UI and movement felt really polished. I'm amazed you managed all this in a week!
Also bonus points as a Mirror's Edge enjoyer xD
Very nice entry

Cozy Loan SharkThis gameplay is SO fun! It would be really cool to see a full game with this with multiple levels and maybe some new mechanics.
