How does the game fit the theme?
You start by trusting your game jam teammates to do their assigned work, but quickly discover that no one is actually getting anything done. You’re forced to check everyone’s work and take over their tasks yourself.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All game code and artwork were created from scratch during the jam. The music was created by my brother, voice acting was provided by Takazo Hall, and the Japanese translation was provided by Arisa Takenaka Trombley. Sound effects were also created from scratch

That's a really creative game. I liked to solve the puzzles for the all minigames. The artstyle is also as good as simple it is. You made the code editor look like a real editor with those options on the top.

However I encountered a few problems. In the code editor when I opened the graph minimap I couldn't close it, I mean I didn't know how to close it so I had to reopen the level again. This leads us to the second problem: there is no tutorial.

Very cool interpretation of the theme! Art is really charming, and the audio is great! VA is also cool to see in a game jam game! Minigames were fun, and the story is hilarious, definitely one of if not the most creative concept I've seen this jam XD

Only thing I noticed that bothered me a bit was the slight delay when typing the story of the game, very minor thing, other than that, gameplay felt nice and smooth!

Very much enjoyed playing this one! Keep it up :D

Really loved this little game, unfortunately way too relatable haha. The minigames are fun and the whole experience has a lot of charm. One small issue I noticed in the art minigame: with brush size 1, if I drag across multiple squares, the first one sometimes doesn't get painted. Other than that, really enjoyable. Amazing work!

Such a great take on the theme!! Making a game about not being able to trust your game jam teammates with deadlines is hilarious XDD

The intro and ending animations were definitely my favorite parts, and there's even voice acting!!

Really fun game, and I enjoyed the little minigames in each level too! :D

You even made a (good) trailer ! 

I had a lot of fun. This is a short game, but a good game. It's well scaled, the mini-games were nice to play. I enjoyed the plot with the "mise-en-abime" as we say in French. You also used many artistic skills in a good way, it's rare yo see games with custom art, custom music, custom voices... Well done !

Really love the cinematic and the gameplay; the typing part is a bit difficult, but the experience is really solid. Great job!
