I love that you have a README and License file (main criteria for open source category)
Lols, I feel like this game could be triggering for some people......... interesting take on the balance theme. Even though you didn't finish the intro monologue and dialogue, it's very funny. I think maybe it does need to start a little less chaotic so we can get the hang of the controls, and then it can be chaos (I do understand you were going for chaos from the start though 😅)
I really like the humor (especially the intro :D) and the graphics in this game. The gameplay is very chaotic and hard to handle if you play it the first time. Maybe you should start a bit slow at the beginning and gradually increase the chaos.
Congratulations to this funny entry!

Work-Life BalanceI snorted out loud reading the intro. That’s when I knew what I needed to know. This one was special.

GameDevJs 2025 Jam - Ramen TycoonI love this game, the humor is gold and the gameplay simple yet fun. The game is a bit weird sometimes with the attacks, and it's not completely apparent when one is attacking? But still, love this!

Prophet's ChoiceThe sound is phenomenal, the graphics are stunning, and the thematic and it's presentation is nothing short of genius.

GaslightedWhile I am generally against AI, I appreciate its use here for a game that has a well-thought-out concept, but the gameplay and small details don't matter as much as the overall absurdity. That being said, I didn't feel the mechanics added much, and I didn't feel like I was playing the game; more so, I was just waiting out the clock and making sure I didn't get overwhelmed by the enemies and game physics. The use of AI added to the absurdity and the artfulness of the game and was able to produce some cool effects. I liked seeing the different abilities at each level of juice. The visuals and music were top tier and had me laughing a lot. It's nice to have art like this that points out the absurdity of our situation. Nice work!
