This was a really strong entry with a creative and refreshing concept. The CRT-style visuals and overall presentation give it a lot of personality, and the anomalies build up in a way that keeps the game engaging and tense. The questions and mix of challenges add variety, and the music and sound design complement the retro feel nicely.
A few things could be refined: the background color change is so subtle that it’s easy to miss, and making it clearer would improve the flow. A checkpoint system would also help avoid frustration after getting far and having to start over, and a couple of anomalies felt a bit unforgiving. Still, these are minor adjustments in an otherwise very fun and memorable experience.
Overall, it’s a polished and inventive jam game that shows a lot of promise. And since we both leaned into unusual mechanics for this jam, maybe you’d also like to check out the game I submitted it offers a different twist on surprising the player.
