Really fun game! After four stages though you can't really improve anymore though, and it was a bit frustrating that the health didn't reset. All in all very neat idea though!

We're Little Feels, a small team of one developer/artist(7y experience) and one psychologist (Masters), we're professionals and already have a couple small prototypes, so this means we won't be qualified to be part of the voting, so keep this in mind if our project sounds interesting to you. We're incredibly passionate about kid's mental health and find the mission of the "Safe in our World"-charity incredibly inspiring and important!!! We want to use the game jam as a framework to develop Little Feels further, it's a mobile/tablet game with a bunch of game modes, where kids learn to recognise their emotions, regulate their emotions, recognise emotions in others and help them deal with it. Our first topic is about Anger and how that can make you & others feel. Help kids see the consequences, help them be aware of their body and facial expressions and similar. Each topic has a dedicated character who's also a real world plush toy, this helps parents and kids talk about the topic and take learnings into everyday life. We also supply parents with additional material so they know how to approach the subject with their kids, help them deal with their feelings in stressful situations such as tantrums, etc.
We are super hyped and are currently working fulltime on the project in hopes to get funding down the road. We're making stories, designing characters, developing game modes and crafting a fun psychology based experience for small kids, so they have something better to do with their iPad time than watch TikToks. Check out our pitchdeck https://pitch.com/v/little-feels-pitch_htw-application-v2idme and add me on Discord: antsaare We're interested in working with anyone who's talented and passionate about mental health!! Especially animation, voice acting or audio are things we're bad at, so reach out if you're interested in contributing!
Hey, congrats on finishing the jam!!
the controls were a bit odd with the camera on the outside and I didn't quite understand how to change the direction I'm aiming my shots at. Other than that it was quite alright. I personally didn't like the interpretation of the theme here, because even though you technically swapped out the theme to be non violent, it's still a shooter at it's core. other than that, very good 😁 and props to you for making everything yourself!
Thanks so much! Yeah... I was just one person working on everything myself and even though I'm good at programming, I didn't start implementing any features up until 8 hours before the submission end 😂. As you can probably tell, the main focus was spent on the art and creating a comforting atmosphere, which I think are most important for games that are not violent. Beauty is the antithesis to violence. So yeah... The controls are really not ideal and the gameplay can be improved 😅
I'll check yours out as well!
