Use of theme?
Chain Reaction

Use of diversifiers?
- Invite your friends to join the game jam! (or better yet, force them to... 😏)
- Tweet out your game with #Trijam and @GunnarClovis for a retweet! Do the same for any videos you make!
- Use the player's name as a seed to randomize part of the play experience!
- Make a procedurally-generated game with functionally infinite levels (or an infinitely long level)!
- Edit the Theme of your itch.io game page and give it a custom color palette, background, and banner using assets from your game! Make sure to include some content on the game page itself too, like instructions for controls, explanation of themes and diversifiers, how much time was taken, which engine was used, links to any external assets that were used, anyone who worked on the game, etc.!
- Make a game that uses randomness!
- Make a game where violence is not the answer!
- Make a game with a main menu! In a game jam! WOW!!

Procedurally generated levels? Holy cow that is some serious stuff.

Great game, super fun to play!

Nice little game. I also noticed that the level is longer if you don't input any name.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah the levels variate by character count, capitalization, and unique characters. Definitely spent the last three hours testing as many names as possible haha. We have a default level for no input as well.

Great Design! not exactly my style but its beautiful anyways.

Thank you! We were inspired by Hohokum visual wise.

Very beautiful. In spite of the theme, she snatched me a smile.

I like that the level is generated from the player's name. But the longer the name, the longer the level. To win just enter a single character.

Developer

Happy you were able to generate name varieties!

Hi!

It's a nice game. Nice audio and graphics, a bit too bright for my taste, but it's okay.
I'd suggest you to add a restart function. There were many times I got in front of coughing people midgame and the only way to end it was to finish it and wait for it to go back to the main screen, which was very slow as well. Refreshing the page was a faster option.

Developer

For sure. Restart button was on the next part of our list, but due to the 9 hour cap we scoped it out. Thanks for the insight!

Cute drawings, and I like the way you added coughing to the game.

Developer

Haha the coughs really made the difference for us.

Simple but fun. And I love, that you used the diversifier of using the player name as the random seed. Very cool.

Developer

Thank you! We didn't know about the diversifiers until like halfway through so we were lucky to sneak them in. :)

I like how you aren't shown that you've lost until the end. This is a simple but enjoyable game. The music was pretty nice. Do you have a tracklist for them? I would honestly just listen to a lot of those songs.

Developer

Definitely loved the music as well. We got our soundtracks from Youtube Audio Library since they're used for personal/commercial usage. Just search 'Game' in the music section and most of our soundtracks are there.
