- I love the naruto running. Bonus points for that. The game does a good job at implementing the theme and the storytelling is good. Well done!

To Thor and all the members of Pirate Software. Thank you for hosting this Game Jam Event.
You were a huge inspiration for me to actually take up game development and pursue it as a hobby.
If it wasn't for your content expressing how accessible the game development journey could be, I may not have ever even attempted to create a video game. I may not have ever asked my friends to join me on the game jam. I may have missed out on one of the most mentally stimulating and truly entertaining experiences of my life. I can stand with my team and say we are proud of what we created in such a limited window of time.
Me and my friend group spend a lot of our free time playing video games so working on a game together, sharing our ideas, and seeing them come to life was in a big part thanks to you!
To the members of Collective Discord.
Thank you for the laughs and inevitable tears we shared together while you sat in while we embarked on our first game development journey.
SAD NOTE: During the game jam process, My pet ferret of 8 years passed away. Seemed fitting for your game jam to immortalize him in a picture frame in one of the offices. RIP Bradley.

Fun game
Got 8550, not sure if that's good or bad lol. Very nice game though. Adding 1 to the amount of keys you have to press each time is a good form of difficulty. Run animation is funny.
Thank you! That's one thing that was really bounced around, if that method of difficulty was too much of a difficulty scaling to be enjoyable. So I'm glad it felt right to you! Really appreciate your feedback and thank you for playing :)
That was pretty creative and definitely fun! I managed to get just over 20k score before losing. Cool submission, the developers involved should be proud of their efforts.
Thank you so much! And 20k?! The teams best was around 11-14k so you my friend, have a really quick reaction time and impeccable accuracy lol
Thank you for checking us out!
Really fun game! Though the main mechanic is very simple y'all figured out a way to make it engaging and fun the whole time. Everything comes together pretty much perfectly from the gameplay to the art to the music to the god damn naruto run (amazing addition).
Solid idea executed well, great submission guys!
Thank you so much! Your reaction was so geniune and honest and was a pleasure to watch :) It was nerve racking to watch and was entertaining from start to finish. We definitely took notes on your suggestions on the movement and will refine it more moving forward!
Thank you again for taking the time to play our game and really showcasing the submissions in general. Really wholesome!
The Naruto run sent me 😂
A joy to play. Great work!
That's awsome to hear! 😄 We had a blast making it and really loved how it came out. Thank you for giving it a play :)!
I love the art style! There's so much charm to it. The Naruto run animation was a nice touch.
Thank you so much! Our friend who designed it all is very insecure about his work, so this was a great way for him to step out of his comfort zone and showcase his abilities. I'll definitely send him your feedback, I'm sure he'd love it :)
Awesome job yall. I got to play the game and was really impressed with how well everything worked, I didnt run into any bugs and it worked as it should overall a fun experience. Proud of yall 10/10!
Beast! We truly appreciate that, and are glad you were able to get through it all! Thanks for checking it out and thanks for playing!! <3
