Ranked from 19 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
We took the literal approach of the game, in which nothing can go wrong. Though as the player, your job is to find workarounds and make things go wrong as the world adapts to your work arounds and tries to prevent you from dying ..until the world eventually decides to give you the fate you desire.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We did not create the UI code for the pause, main menu, and the options and I also did not make the background music staying active across levels, and the player movement code. All other game mechanics were made from scratch.

For assets, we did not make the "spikes", or the fire sprite image when you're burning. Everything else was hand-drawn, or squares with colors (for example, the lava and water),except for the piano you see in one of the levels, that was a stock image.

Very great music choice and cool art. Restarting a level as an option would be cool, there are some occasions the box got stuck at the corner etc. Great game!

Ayo cute and fun little game, I love the visual and vibe of the game, gameplay wise it is easy and straightforward tho I got stuck at the rope level not sure what I needed to do. My only suggestion is that maybe your can do some parallax background too add some more live in the world and maybe like have the flower swing around gently when you walk pass them.

Thank you for your feedback! We were going to add an option for text to appear that says something like "F to interact" but we were sadly running out of time :(
