yes

Summarize your game!
A simple "stealth" gunplay and mini-game game that plays multiple scenarios of typical hero saves the world movie tropes. You’re a convict that has been ordered to save the world because the usual hero guy didn’t make it and investors in reality tv-shows want to try something new. Comply or the bomb around your neck goes off.

WASD or arrowkeys = movement

J = interact bomb and grab dude

H = choke grabbed dude

K = shoot if you have ammo

H,J,K,L = defuse bomb

P = enable debug

O = disable debug

ammo = displayed in top left corner

Please explain how your game fits the theme.
The World is Watching mostly is an aesthetic theme where the game isn’t directly influenced with it’s player mechanics but rather the environment. The tv-show is becoming more popular as the player goes on in levels making it harder as the goons might watch the show and recognize the building shown on tv. This in turn might alert them to your presence. It can also work in the player’s favor as some of the goons might be fans of the show and rather act in let’s just say "surprising" ways. Save the world, reduce your sentence and become popular to the whole world! or you know, die trying.
At least this was the plan😅, the game for now is much to be desired.

Did you use Generative AI to make any assets in your game?
No

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
I'm very aware that the game is very crude and unfinished, I honestly just wanted to participate to learn Gamemaker and challenge myself to continue a project. It was honestly a gmable that I would make it even this far. regardless I'm quite happy how far I came for my first game ever. I don't mind if the judges quickly scan the game, give it a 1/10 and move on because I also know the game is very rough, haha

Playability:
Easy to understand and get into. Liked the simplicity of human shield mechanics.

Theme:
Doesn't really fit the theme currently. Maybe something more directly?

Cleverness: 
Simple for now but you could expand on it. Bombs are an interesting puzzle to end the level out.

Artistic Style: 
Love the ridiculous little feet going wild as you run. Art was overall consistent and well done. Keep it up.
