How does the game fit the theme?
The whole game idea was inspired by the theme.
It is Eli's first day at a new job. He is left alone with the assumption that nothing can go wrong. However, he pushes a button he shouldn't have, causing everything to start going horribly wrong. Play till the end to see just how wrong....

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything is handmade by me: (Art, code, sound effects, animation)
The only thing I used that I didn't make are 2 music tracks, which I have credited the artists for in my credits.

How many people worked on the game?

Reminds of the time i died at work it was pretty funny

NOOOOO ELIIII!!!

Cut short by the jam timeframe but what is there is absolutely top tier! The aesthetic from the art to the music are dripping with style. Would love to see this get developed further.

Excellent work!

Very creative level designs. I was shocked when the other character was crushed lol. And the meta moment in the ending cracked me up. Good attempt for 1 week.

I'm not allowed to say you can't push the big red button. On the contrary, I want to push it more and more.

Haha! You know you want to!

I loved the art, ambiance, and sound ! Gameplay reminds me a bit of Oddworld games, Abe's Odyssey! Do you know these game ? You have a done a great job here, congratulations!

Developer

The two main inspirations for the game are Inside and Abe's Odyssey(hence the name haha). It's one of my favourite games of all time. Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it.

The art and animation was nice, i would maybe play with sound more. There was also certain place where a SFX loudness shot thru the sky and ear-raped me 😕 The sfx are also quite repeating, slight pitch variation helps with that.  Otherwise good job for one person!

Developer

Sorry about your ears. I made all the sounds myself with my crappy headset mic, so they're not the best, and I definitely need to work on balancing the sound. I like the idea of varying pitch. I appreciate the feedback, thank you!

Would love to see a continuation of this, EXCELLENT art and I like the humour

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I'm going to be making it into a full game, so stay tuned.

Submitted(+1)

You really nailed that dark and ominous art style! Reminds me of games like Limbo or Inside, and everything you have in there is quite polished. Hope you get the chance to finish this one off because I think you're onto a good concept here!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Both of those games where big inspirations for this. I am already back working on it to expand it into a full game. I really appreciate the feedback.

One of my favorites! Loved it a lot, Great gameplay, great art style. It is very polished. I loved that when I die, I just start again in the same map, and the cubes I've places stays in place!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks so much for the feedback.

Submitted(+1)

Okay wow! Love the art style and gameplay. I wish there was more gameplay but understandable.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words. I will be expanding it into a full game, I'm already back working on it so stay tuned.

Great visuals, animations and sound effects but I don't understand why loading up the game took this much.

Developer(+1)

Thanks I'm glad you like it. Sorry about the loading time, Unity web games tend to take awhile to initially load.

cute and stylish game

ps: u can add a sound of letters in dialogue it will be cool

Developer

Thank you! That's a great idea! I will definitely add that in. I appreciate the feedback.

Submitted(+1)

How dare you. Very cute puzzle game, I like the artstyle a lot Bring my boy back 🕊️

Developer

Haha sorry... Unfortunately I ran out of time to give him the ending he deserves. I'll be expanding it into a full game, so your boy might just make a miraculous recovery. Thanks for playing, and for the feedback!

Dark and fun puzzle platformer, with some interesting physics to how your move boxes Im impressed with you being able to do so much by yourself!

Developer

Thank you! I pretty much worked full time on it for the week, not much sleep haha! Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I was so sad to see the end of the game so soon! Great tone and would definitely play more. Good work!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked it. I am going to expand it into a full game, so keep you eyes peeled. Thanks for playing.

Submitted(+1)

Very nice visuals and an enjoyable puzzle platformer.

A small bug in the starting level - you can "press the button" even when you are nowhere near it (eg go right immediately and press up while at the far-right edge...)

Developer

Thank you for pointing that out, I'll have to fix that haha! I appreciate the feedback.

Submitted(+1)

The death of Eli's frined was unexpected. I really like the sounds and music. I suppose those effects were made by you. Level design was classic and effective. I played it until the end and ı liked the ending. At the end I tried to escape but couldn't:) Visual style is also excellent. Good job

Developer

Haha yeah I wanted to add some unexpected events. You're right, all the sound effects were made with my voice and a crappy headset mic. I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for the feedback.

Submitted

You are welcome, ı do wonder your next games, let me know when you do some
