How does your game fit the theme?
In Little Man Behind The Screen, we reversed the role of the gamer himself; YOU play as the level designer. A game critic is playing your isometric shooter-game, you are INSIDE his computer, and your job is to make sure he enjoys the game he is playing by editing unfinished levels to redesign a more enjoyable experience. In simpler terms, you play a puzzle game

Baguette! Really fun meta game :) I love the voice acting, it's clear you all had a blast making it and I certainly had a blast playing.  For a while it seemed like my strategy of placing blocks directly on enemies to break their line of sight worked, but then I had to actually strategize once that stopped working haha. Nice submission

The voice acting is hilarious! Great play on the theme too. I did hit a black screen after level 4 or 5. Was hoping to complete it :)

I'm amazed by the voice acting, I don't know how you managed that in 2 days.

We ourselves do not know either XD Thank you for the rating!

The idea is masterful!

The voice acting is much better than you would expect from a game jam game, music gives a fever dream feeling but that fit's here.

Only things I would say for criticism (they are all technical stuff that can be fixed) is that text doesn't fit the voice acting a couple of times and sometimes I had a black screen while there was dialogue so I couldn't see the text. Controls don't always feel responsive so I can't finish placing block on time limit, good thing that time run out doesn't reset everything.
