How does you game fit the theme?
It's a terrible game. How though? You are controlling two people at the same time. Still is a pretty meh game. Some people may be confused by it >.<

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Once upon a time, in a land far far away. I was seated quietly and still amid the quietness and chirping of birds. I was ready. I'd woken up at the crack of dawn and decided to take a cold shower. But then there it was- the beautiful elegant computer screen in all its glory, calling for me to make a video game.
Would it be good? I wouldn't know.
All I knew is that it would wind up sort of unique and nice and somewhat elegant. So on I stumbled into itch.io having switched it on, immersed into the worlds of the internet when I found the elegant brackey's gamejam.
The theme was quite interesting and I wouldn't let it slip by. Slip past!
Off I went, typing into my computer- looking for ideas, Walking through the dark pitch of wordlessness.
Then, I remembered that I hadn't yet taken a shower. And so I did.
Soon after, I ran back fully dressed and ready to create a dazzling masterpiece.
What would it be?
It would be this game.
I jumped into my retro engine of choice- TIC-80 or tiny computer 80 and proceeded to create a gargantuan piece of work. Well, twas not as gargantuan as some others that helped me learn but this was somewhat gargantuan.
I'd scoped far past the ceiling, wanting my limit to be the sky, but it winded up being 4 days of the brackeys gamejam, for I'd missed one in the pure joy of procrastination.
Then I made things. And wrote things.
And soon I was done.
Now, submitting to the jam, I lie quietly, hold for the loud cracking taps on my keyboard as I try to flock ideas in. Trying to write something that might spur something new out of this. Something quite golden.
I would be surprised if you'd read until thuus far, but indeed I'd congratulate you. I wrote a lump of nothing to express how much work I did, and knowing some did a lot more gratifies as well as mortifying me a little, but all I want to say is whenever you're judging a person, do realize the amount of work the project has had. Not just me, but for the beginners of the medium too.
And if you are a beginner, hey. Feel free to continue striving. My game is garbage but yours doesn't have to be.

It has a great name and, despite being difficult, a decent puzzle design. Although the graphics occasionally seemed a little unclear, I appreciated the pixel art overall. I completed every level, and the editor at the end is really cool. Nice work on this "garbage", though! If you want to would you feel like rating my game please? Or if not then you could help the people in the need of rating catogory. What ever you choose it is up to you. Keep up the creation of fun games :)

I love the name of this and it has quite good puzzle design, though it's challenging. The graphics were slightly confusing at times, but overall I liked the pixel art. I finished all the levels; the editor at the end is pretty neat. Nice work on this garbage!

The game is really good. Have you considered a career in copywriting?

Developer (3 edits)

hm… copywriting you say. Thanks for the input. Though I’m not exactly sure why this came across as an advertisement to the game. I clearly hated the experience. Some people seem to enjoy it. Thanks for the new lens, however. I’ll look into you know making better games in the future.

0/5. This review tried to influence me into sympathizing with the developer. I hated this game and I hate it even more after reading that novel-sized amazon worst seller article
