How does the game fit the theme?
The developer is trying to make sure nothing goes wrong, but of course, everything goes wrong.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I used the small platforming game in this tutorial as a base https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOhfqjmasi0
All assets and sounds apart from the recordings of my voice are from this tutorial.

I really can relate to that commentary hahah, this game was really fun on a platformer with a little twist.

Submitted

Nice mixing of humorous commentary with a playful take on first-game jitters, keep up the good work!

Submitted

First game. Your commentary made the game feel so funny! Nice background music, many levels and pretty advanced ones too. Well made!

Really cool game! Love the boss theme you made

Really enjoyable meta game! Love to see weird stuff like this in game jams, it's really fun!

Oh my god... This game is SO amazing!!!! You had me laughing at the boss level, where the narrator starts singing Mission Impossible music. Also just really polished and fun. 5/5

This is a funny and unique idea, loved the part when you try to create boss music

Submitted

Great take on the theme! Very meta, and even though it's meant to be someone's first game, the levels are very well designed, and actually quite like the stomping mechanic, despite it being a little janky.

Overall great job!

Submitted

Very solid platformer-level design, like I was able to know what to do even though I couldn't hear your voice clearly. And pretty meta take on the theme. Love it!

Submitted

Amazing work!

We had a very similar idea, indeed!

Your commentary is funny and your acting is so believable!

What more - the game itself is incredibly fun by itself! That smash things to jump higher thing is great and adds just the right amount of frustration and challange.

And the trombone "solo" is just a cherry on the top of cake! :-D

Good luck, it deserves to be very high!

Submitted

Lol i loved it. Great take on a platformer/narrative hybrid.

Submitted

Funny game, i like the voiceover.
