How does your game fit the theme "Unconventional Means"?
Unconventional way to control the character. Unconventional ways to kill enemies and to die.

I'm with @Firespike33 on this one - the concept is really cool, super creative and "unconventional" (Even though I found the use of that word in the introduction text a bit too "on the nose" haha). But the difficulty curve is quite steep.
I didn't really get why coins kill you, and so it took me some time to figure out why I kept dying in the beginning :D
Also I liked the music but the sound effects (especially the text in the beginning) were a bit too loud for my test
Overall - great job!

PooPatrolI think this is the single most creative and theme-appropriate entry in the contest. Some checkpoints would've been really nice, though; replaying the level wears thin pretty quickly considering the intentionally clunky controls and some of the more left-field additions. The police officer in particular would've been far easier to figure out on your first attempt if they started shooting before you were in range, and the part after the moving platform with the two coins you needed to jump over was quite a difficulty spike.
Any game that derives its difficulty from the clunky/indirect nature of its controls has to be exceptionally careful to avoid becoming frustrating, and unfortunately this crosses that line for me. I did have fun with it though, especially in the beginning when learning about stuff like picking up spikes as ammo.

The Sisyphean Ninja Escape SequencePretty fun game, the controls felt fun if not a little difficult at times (quite hard to jump left for instance since the buttons were far away). I think it was possible to kill the humans? I don't know, I couldn't really tell what the bottom button was for but after reading comments I think it was for that, maybe a tutorial of a "how to play" page would have helped. Good entry!
Mind Controller Ups and Downs
Ups:
- Graphics are really nice
- Concept is pretty unconventional and unique
- Control scheme is pretty well though-out for the concept
Downs:
- Timing a moving platform with the control scheme was incredibly frustrating
Overall, a pretty unique and creative game!

ConversedWell done! Really original, I also found some spots where I couldn't restart its still great!

Lights OutThis is one really cool game! Really hard but once you get how the controls work it's super fun. And nailed it when it comes to unconventional!

Wildlife Camping ExperienceThis game is really good! All of it results in histerically funny characters, i laught every time i pick a coin, since its "Yay, the parasite is gone!" which is me, also every time i touch humans is like "Yay, the moron is gone!" which really had no sense in terms of plot, but it was good for the game, and also hysterical.
But it really needs checkpoints. Im not gonna end it until that

Vampire FlowerThank you!
I thought of putting a checkpoint in the game, but it's complicated since the goal is to kill everyone. If you left someone behind, you would need to go backwards from the checkpoint.
So interested of that, I made a short level. It may look big for the number of people, but most of them are all in the ending part.
Very original idea for the controls but a bit tricky for the first time playing.
nice game.

Dragon ArenaI really like the concept for this game! The visuals and sounds are great too! Also, I really like how other aspects of the game are unconventional too. I think it is pretty difficult (honestly, not really sure how far I can get in the game, I think I'm stuck at a pretty early point lol), but it definitely could just be me. Maybe it could benefit from a health system, but difficulty can be pretty subjective so I'm not sure what's best. Still, great job overall!

Mosquito GraffitiAwesome idea and execution! As others have said, the clone is a great feature that and adds depth to the player's moveset.

Car & DriverThis was a lot of fun. I already thought that using the buttons to control the human was a fun idea, but it became even better when I figured out you can create a clone of yourself to hit multiple buttons. Nice Work.

Red Guy Lost His PotatoesSuper unconventional!! loved it!!! :D Really fun idea and well implemented -great idea letting you clone yourself for button combos! Excellent work! :D

WrenchformIt's pretty difficult, but that's not a bad thing. Definitely one of the most interesting concepts of the game jam!
