Really well done! The visuals are great and the gameplay is quite fun! I like how you can blow up ads through walls since it allows a little bit of planning (e.g. where can I place a bomb to optimize my progression). The multiple X's to close ads was also pretty unique and was a nice added twist on that final level. I did find one bug where I placed a bomb, an ad hit me, then my own bomb blew me up, causing me to take a double stun. This then froze my character, so I had to wait for time to run out before restarting. Otherwise, the story was a great bit of polish and the experience was overall really fun!

How does you game relate to the theme of "Parasite"?
We viewed the way ads take our information and use it to push products towards consumers as a "parasite"

This is so well-polished and the idea of ad bombs is just so unique!! I would really like to see the outside of their bedroom but this is a 48h jam after all:/ I was lwk stuck at level 2 but my roommate walked by and helped me beat it lol which says a lot about how interesting your game is!

Happy FamilyThanks so much! I'm glad the story we hastily threw together was engaging hehe
The difficulty tuning is definitely something that slipped by us before submitting. I think I woke up the next day and had trouble beating levels 2 and 3 as well lol, so thanks for bringing that up as well. Glad you liked it!
An amazing game!!! I'm so surprise how much you guys cranked out in 48 hours!!! The levels were fun and challenging!!! Especially that final level (I was stuck on it for a bit)!!! Love the personality and the art style this game has!!!

ArachniscrapThis is crazy good on all fronts. There is one small bug where I could place bombs in my room but thats it. Amazing.
I really hope no marketing firm plays this game and discovers placing multiple X buttons you have to click in sequence.

All You Can Eat SushiSuch a creative Idea and very good use of sound and visuals to give a feeling of overstimulation. I would have never thoughts of ads as a parasite, but I guess that shows how pervasive they've become. The final level is a bit infuriating though, it took me like half an hour to beat.

Deadbeat DormmateThe amount of polish in this game is absolutely wild! I love how creative the artwork is. And not just the hilarious ads, but a lot of the other little details too (I laughed so hard at the “B2 + S9” poster lol).
The gameplay itself is a ton of fun too. Having breaks from the ads to walk around your room is not only super charming, but paces the game very well.
You also took the parasite theme and spun it into something unique. I don’t even know what else to say other than that you guys did amazingly!

ArachniscrapI. Love. This. Game. I would buy it, If I had no money - I'd pirate it. Gotta agree with the Aniket guy, Ventsune Viku is life.
I really loved the game play, I wish there were more objects to interact with :))) Big thanks for making something goofy to play but is really bothers you when you think about all the tiny details.
