These are our favourite rooms:  :D

We have no words... It's beautiful

We enjoyed the message of it all, bugs being in control instead of people is really just a swap of the original system of death. People just cared more because now they were being hunted, but they never paid any attention to the fact that things like this were already going on around them. The general feeling of the game was really potent, which helps make it memorable. We really enjoyed it :] , also, the music was nice.

Very pretty! We enjoyed Rain, and Summer on a roof the most. :] The menu room reminded us of Yume Nikki, and we liked that it just sent you straight back to it instead of automatically skipping forward to the next day. Felt like we had more freedom, and gave us more choice that way.

Thank you for your submission! :D 

Can we submit multiple things? Is there a submission limit?

:D

We'd looked for game jams like this in the past, but found none.. So, we're just happy to be here :] - Pip and Parfait

Silly, silly /j ( lol.. That would've gone poorly.. )

It's back! We can see it in the tags again :D Wonder what happened though...

No problem! Good luck!!

"You never wanna be that guy ever again. You wish you weren't any guy, honestly." Trans women protag? Trans women protag still in the egg? With the wonder that feels like a newly invented drug that is the rest of the game? 10/10!!

We feel like an accidentally invited guest in a yoga class. The music was SO GOOD! So relaxing mmm. We're all very queer in our system. But specifically being loveless (as in alovespec, as in the aspec identity we're trying to get more eyes on. ) We feel like if we don't create tons of stuff for it, it will just fade away, like sand in the wind. It took a long time to build all the stuff we have about it. Although, the feeling persists that we need to create a lot, very quickly. We've gotten more desperate for attention, as well, as time goes on. Then, we remembered something very wise "to be seen, one has to see others" it came up in a random youtube video, but nothing felt more true than that. We suppose what we're trying to say is, the feeling is mutual. Life is strange, and people are good, people are very good.

This is beautiful. Short and sweet. Our heart is colourful, and loveless too! We'll try to show it more :]

Hello? We have news for you! Terrible, terrible news!!

We believe that this game has been deindexed! One moment, we could find it in the queer tag, the next? It was GONE!! We tried searching it up, but we couldn't!!

Please call itch so they can fix it!!

It was right next to love letters before! (Our game) but now it's gone! 

Not here either! We had to use the link you posted on tumblr just to get back here and download it. We just started it, and it's lovely, but we just got so worried for you! 

Please call itch as soon as you can!! We don't want you losing potential players!!!!

We're just happy there is one :]

Thank you!! :D Also for endings, the good one is in the flower room, when the flower tells you to go to the star, go to the broken heart on the right instead. This will lead you to a series of rooms where you follow the heart. The bad ending is when, in the flower room, you go to the star at the bottom, like what the flower says. Hope this helps!

AWW TY :]

We're aegoromantic, and very, very loveless. But more so loveless as in, lacking in every kind of love. Ever. All of them. Separate from our aromantacism. We're alove. To be more specific. We just don't do love. We like that this game expresses lovelessness, without dumbing it down. But it's not only an aro thing

Delusions and hallucinations are a pain in the butt! THEY SUCK!!! AAAGHHHH!! *Fist fighting yours rn*

 We might not get much, but if anything. We can understand that. We have quite a few headmates that struggle with them. - Daan

You're so real for feeling guilty about being emotional, I mean it's not good, but I get it, I get it. like- sorry for being alive, my bad.. - Pixels

Also, here's some more images on how to submit it to the game jam: 

You could post it as a subject in the community with the link, if voting doesn't matter to you. BUT there's another way to submit it, so!

If you export it into it's own file, then you can publish it as a downloadable book! Then you click "submit" (when the game jam opens.) And click to pick your project and submit. So either or! Remember, you can submit as many things as you want. Does this work for you?

OH! That was you!! Hi! :D (You have been let in to the community)

There is no discord, but we DO run an alove blog on tumblr where you can find lots of alove people! :] There's also a group in tumblr where a bunch are, you could talk about it there!  If you believe a discord might be helpful, we could make one, but we're not sure how many people would join, and discord makes us pretty nervous..

(This is @tophats2o)

It's here!!! (Not the game) But the page is here!!! Yooooo

It's like our brain got a reboot. It's so very good but we haven't yet processed the wonder we just experienced, give it a day or two. To call this a game feels as though it undermines how much of an experience this is. We were pulled into another world, still going through the effects of it's jet lag, we wish not to go back to feeling the same as before. We feel amazing, but we can't tell what changed. Thank you for making this :]

Thanks for playing.  :] I'm happy you liked it. :D Self acceptance is a funny thing, being so important, and very easy to forget, and have slip. I hope you don't forget to be nice to yourself!! >:D

(And you did interpret the keys correctly, I would've written it somewhere, but I wanted the player to figure it out based upon the bg and things didn't really go to plan movement wise.. \/( -_- )\/  *shrug, it became a whole thing but I'm glad it was intuitive in the end  :] )

The aesthetics of this game are really nice! The only thing I would've liked is a ping sound effect for the dream navigator's voice (a little piano in the bg maybe? The static felt very ominous, but maybe that's what you were going for?(Realized it's supposed to be wind, my bad)). Maybe a place to recover confidence easily too, a confidence version of the fire place. I got very low but it felt worth it

The confidence stat being our confidence in the systems around us instead of our confidence in ourselves is really cool!! The theme of whenever you question someone in authority your stats go down is a worth while trade, made us want to balance our points to sway them towards beneficial change.

^ did not pick that one it's just hovered over so you can see it better

I think we got the bad end, so we'll probably replay it later to see if the good ending changes anything. (Ran out of confidence)

We liked it! It told its story well, good job :]

Good luck with the rest :D

This game gets it :] IT"S SO GOOD, the art's so pretty, the cage for how one flew free from expectations, another's trapped by them, and the last and grown past them and lost care for them. The music gave me chills it's so fitting and vibey. And the giggle snapped me back to reality, very silly. :D hope you make more games like this :)

I already started on a soup game, can I submit it here so long as I add updates over the jam's duration?

Read this at a bad time while hungry, many regrets ( mmm marmalade toast.. =_=   : ] )

This is such a dystopian world, who knew the Marmaladian government would be so twisted..

This is really fun!! The mess of question marks when you make a mistake is such a nice style choice, makes you really know something's off compared to all the duller, more beige colours. (With exceptions being the toppings) 

All the ways you can break things too.. :] 

Got to 31, good job with the game, it's very nice

I feel like a lot of people aren't willing to talk about many parts of being trans due to them being: "too weird to talk about." So I'm glad you made this. Thanks

I like this a lot!! It's simple, but still effective! Definitely adding this to my Trans games list so I may return later. Hope you're having a good day! :D

I wanted more movie../HalfJoking I liked it! I thought it was really cute! :)) Going up the stairs is a little finicky but that's alright. Idk how Bitsy works but I like the simple colour palette! You did a great job with this submission! Only reason I'm not putting five stars is cause I'm veeeeeeery picky when it comes to five stars. Wouldn't change a thing though!

It's a visual novel! It's meant to be about nostalgia and temporary joys. Thanks for rating and playing! :D

Sorry, no, the jam does not have a discord. I just made a Tumblr post for advertising but no place to talk.

Feel free to put any questions you have here.
