It could be a me problem easily, but I feel like the execution made me get a little sick easily, probably due to the area displayed on screen (so the camera movement can me a little aggressive) and the mouse movement felt quite weird to me, at least. I feel it would be just about rethinking on how to execute the concept and it would work, but the concept indeed is creative :)

Nice game, spent quite a while in it! Really liked the jokes placed on the ground. At the beginning didn't feel convenient with controls but quickly caught up after a bit. Liked the idea of cursor control and collision with the level. I definitely want a possibility for a cursor to die, because I was safely exploring the map using only cursor while a smile was stuck in a corner far behind.

Possesion ReversedMaybe that's me, but in jam build cursor doesn't take damage from enemies :(

Its a cool concept, but it gets boring fast
You made the level a bit too big

Vikings FrontExcept for the controls which were a bit frustrating, and the size of the map compared to our speed and size, I think that overall the mechanics are very funny and original, good job, I enjoyed it!

Input To ActionThe level was frustratingly big compared to the camera space, I had a very hard time navigating! The control scheme has some potential, with you trying to save the cursor as well as some player, could be expanded upon.

Non-Player Player CharacterGreat first attempt! The camera movement is a bit jarring since it ended up lagging too far behind most of the time, and that would really uplift the experience I feel. But otherwise, it works thematically - good job on your first jam!

Non-Player Player CharacterThe harmony with the theme is really nice and different. The gameplay is also really good. Good job!
