(finished from 18:49 16/09/2022 as a draft and had to publish it since then!!)

Wow, 10th on ‘Innovation’! :D I was hoping people would find the idea nice, but was really unsure it would be considered worthy amongst the mass of games here. Glad that people thought the concept amusing! :)

And somehow weirded out that the game did not get a straight 1.000 on ‘Audio’, since there is none. XD Although I guess it makes some sense, since lack of sound is more troublesome in other games for gameplay and ambience, while this one still works fine without it.

Anyway, super happy because one of my two target criteria (‘Innovation’ and ‘Theme’) was well received!

This is quite a return on investment for such a shortly-made game! XD

Congratulations to everyone, I have not (yet) played as many games as I wished (family ‘went’ in the way!) nor had the time for a ‘properly’ sized entry (discovered the event too late through e-mail…), but the experience was interesting, and I saw a lot of things that I liked and could be inspiring. :)

This is one more game in my already rather long list of games to expand, as I think there is a way to make it become a nice fuller game based on this UI-fiddling player idea. Thanks for coming by, and see you somewhere else! :) (I am still in a game jam creativity frenzy! Oh, and I have a big dream project that I have yet to make happen, but is for the moment mainly a huge list in written form and in my head; the game should be called Terminal. Hopefully, one day, you will get to see it! :) Stay tuned — and patient. X))

Wow, this game is so interesting! The way everything is against you was very funny to me. When the exit moved I was like "what is happening?" haha! Great game!

Submitted

Alright, this is a very interesting interpretation of the theme.

Since you used Löve2D I imagine that the light effects and AI weren't all that simple to implement and this makes it very impressive. You could have let the player enjoy a success sometimes though.

The other player was really bugging me and I felt haunted, even after the game ended he would let me be. Nice job.

Adding some information on screen regarding controls would probably have saved me one restart. I had to read the instruction on the game's page before I understood what I was supposed to do.

This was such an original idea! One of the best ones I've seen so far. I loved the little gameplay, and I thought the game was very well done. Congrats on the submission! Our 3D prop hunt game is very close to reaching 20 ratings, and I'd greatly appreciate it if you could check it out <3

Very out of the box puzzle game, I like it a lot! One thing that I hoped would happen is that the other player would just rage quit after you beat the game, shame that didn't happen. Still a very clever entry regardless.

Submitted

OMG. This is so unique. You get from me 5 stars in Innovation.

It took me a while to realise, what is happenning, and how the game actually works xD

Submitted

Hello. The idea in this game is really good! rated! Please rate my game, too! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1681109

Honestly, I played for 30 minutes and I didn't manage to solve it. Tomorrow morning I will play a little more. if I don't succeed, I will write you privately for the solution. :))) 

this game tricked me so much! Nice idea, fits the theme nicely, and made me think for a while. I love it!

Submitted

First try: I closed the game while searching for the exit.

Second try: I thought the white ball was the exit and then I realised the real exit.. :(

...

Another try: Still nothing.

Some other try: I started crying.

...

I called my friend for help and I am waiting for him. I will let you know when it is over. I'm suffering :D

(Interesting and different idea. Cool game !)

Submitted

Fun concept and interesting interpretation of the theme! Was running after the exit for a couple minutes and no success. The game made me laugh)

Submitted

Good game, could you please rate my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-8/rate/1680919 ?

Cool game, interesting interpretation of the theme!

nice game

Interesting concept. Feels pretty smooth imo, but I couldnt figure out how to reach the exit... Is it even possible?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks! It is a last-minute quick concept (started late because of Mini Jam, then brainstormed for a bit), but I thought it was a witty way to fit the theme and was funny. :)

You can definitely reach the exit. ;) I was afraid people would find the game too easy, I’m glad you ran into trouble! XD
[Spoiler: hint: think outside the box.]

Submitted

tried it again. I still dont get it. I know the player can go outside the box but what does that change?

Developer

This allows you to come from the right-hand side, and then catch up with that darned fugitive exit.
(I have just checked, and it does work. You made me scared the game was unbeatable! Although this would have been a nice silly troll. XD)

Submitted

oh yes, I didnt realise you would speed up. Now I got it. Thanks :)
