How does your game fit the theme?
(Unless you get very lucky) you have to play the game over and over again in a loop to find the right way through

really cute, i like the questions
easily one of the most creative takes on the theme! I particularly liked the option of having a snack and feeding my enemy who was just hangry lol... and as I type this I just figured out how to get past the second guy. Really enjoyed the music and gameplay! I'm going back for the win
Glad you cracked the puzzle! Thanks a lot for playing.
I thought this was a really clever concept and subverted my expectations! The art was nice and professional, and the music was a really clever use of the clicking sound. The platforming is a bit choppy (that may just be a web version thing). It's also a bit tedious having to answer the questions again after dying - I think the way to alleviate this without losing the core concept would be to have the player have a few lives or some time to get out of an obstacle before they die, and to zoom out the camera so what's in front of you is more visible. Great work!
Thanks a lot! Yes, I think platformer bugginess may be largely a web thing, but also because literally an hour before submission my movement script broke and I had to write a new janky one :[ That's a good suggestion, I would definitely add a "retake with same answers" button if given the chance now. Thanks for the feedback!!

No problem! Wow, really impressive that you managed to rewrite that script in the last hour, that must've been stressful - I went through a similar situation with a last minute bug and I think if they didn't extend the deadline by an hour, I would've just about died. Makes me appreciate what you were able to do here even more!
very cute and fun game, love the artstyle and vibe you went for!
thank you !!
Really fucking clever idea, congrats !
Many interesting twists, I can really see this evolving into a fully fledged game. The music was charming too !
Thank you! Had a lot of fun making a little soundtrack with mouse clicking samples :)

really fun idea! :D
i didn't beat it because i didn't want to answer the questions over and over.. if i maybe had the chance to have e run with the same answers...
That makes sense! If I keep developing this idea I'll try to streamline the replay process. Could add a "retaek quiz" vs "replay with same answers" option for sure :)

this was of course complining on a high level, your jam entry is still brilliant :) good luck with the voting
Pretty hord but thru determination I'm able to beat it!
its fun to play game
whimsical little game
" a silly mix of word play and real play" - the wall-street journal, if i worked at the wall-street journal
"a sweet comment that mixes sincerity with whimsy" -me, if I was me
This was a really creative and cool way to go about the theme! It made me go wooaaahh
❤️😄⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It got a chuckle out of me.
Cool idea! There's a great sense of discovery in finding out how the different answers affect you
Very interesting idea, at first you think it is just questions but then suddenly once you die you start strategizing. Cool mini game.
Please play and rate my game as well
What a game, I love the idea and execution. I jumped over the first bad guy and immediately died in bushes. LOL. Could you try out my game (download only, sorry, unity hates me)
I really liked the idea, very fun.
I hope this wins the jam. This game is short but so fun. Great work!
