How does your game fit the theme?
(Note: this game includes player-created names. We are filtering content, but discretion is advised.) You play as a government scientist researching MIND CONTROL on pets. You can only control one of the pets at a time. Meanwhile, the other pets run rampant. You must control them one at a time to keep them from harm's way. Some character's AI is controlled by inputs that OTHER PLAYERS submit (mind control interferance).

Thanks, Quentin! Which part is getting tedious? One thing we wished we had time to add was a quick restart option. We will be streaming jam games later if you want submit yours! Stream: https://www.twitch.tv/thetagc Submit: https://t.co/DL6nQDnQMq?amp=1
Wow, awesome job with the recording feature. That is super cool. The art and animation is professional-level, as are the menus. The gameplay loop is fun, but I did have some trouble seeing the little lightning balls at first (I thought my pets were dying for no reason). Maybe you could make these more visible / higher contrast somehow? Anyway- great job! If anybody plays against "RATKING" that one is mine. It's the dumb rat moving in a V pattern.
Oh- one last thing, and this is bound to happen when you open these things up to the internet- I got paired with somebody who put in a pretty gnarly word. I don't know if you are able to apply a word filter on the server or anything but I wouldn't want somebody to play your game and see a super offensive word and attribute it to the game creators / report it. Just a heads up!
Thank you! We are streaming jam games if youd like to submit yours! https://twitch.tv/thetagc
Great art. The idea of sharing movement patterns between players is fun. I wish there was a way to instantly restart a level instead of having to select it from the menu. Especially since I was playing with gamepad and the menu only seems to work with the mouse so having to switch constantly was a bit of a hassle.

Aesthetics are fab, gameplay is fun and an interesting take on the theme, but most of all, like everyone has said, wow the idea and implementation in only 48 hours of sharing player patterns with other players is outstanding! Really solid idea there and one to watch for sure :D

LAZY PIRATESNeat multitasking game! The "record a pattern for another player" feature is complete brilliance, I got one or two pretty crazy ones!

Normal DinerThe integration of everyone else's patterns is a really novel idea and I'm impressed you got it going in 48 hours! Really really well done.

Humans Must Not DieNice and fun to play game, very nice sound design and tottaly cute graphics, but most of all the idea of recording the movements and naming the pets oh man that's straight up AWESOME. Kinda funny that a game that personally to me is outside of the box is played inside a box :D Very nice work, very well done!
