Hey, thanks for reporting and good to know about it. I started to use VPN recently so I kind novice in such matter. I promise there’s no virus or anything wrong with my account and the game. I don’t even know how a virus work to be honest. Going to check with itch.io about it!

After consideration, I realized that if an image needs a written explanation to not be misunderstood it failed its purpose.
I still stand by my intent: critiquing Western hypocrisy and symbol co‑optation. But the execution was confusing and caused unintended harm. That’s on me.
I’ll replace that image with something clearer Appreciate you pushing me to think harder.
First of all, thanks for playing the game! This means a lot especially in the current circumstances.
Secondly, about the symbolism - I want to answer carefully. Thanks for raising this. I appreciate you asking rather than assuming bad intent. Let me give you the full context, because the symbol doesn’t appear alone.
My game’s intro is a slideshow. Each line of text appears with an image. Here is the sequence around that symbol:
“And when a crack threatens the structure of the world’s owners - whether from a small social advance or an antagonistic force… The mask falls. Their hypocrisy surfaces.
- Image of the world ‘owners’
“The new pact of the bourgeoisie is sealed. Tragedy for humanity is legalized.” Their thrones untouched. The means of production run at full steam, generating exorbitant profit for them. And for us.. For us nothing.
- This is where the Black Sun + Star of David appears with the White House behind it.
“They turned the different, the foreigner, the other into a common enemy. They were not born with a license to exist.”
- Image of police arresting a person
The symbol is not there to equate Jews with Nazis. It’s there to show how fascism corrupts and poisons all symbols. Including those of its victims. The Black Sun is a fascist emblem. Placing it alongside the Star of David represents how the far‑right appropriates and weaponizes Jewish identity (for example, by claiming “judeo‑christian values” while persecuting Jews and Palestinians).
The White House behind the flags makes it clear: this is a critique of Western power and capitalist hypocrisy not an attack on Jewish people.
I understand the symbol is still painful to see. I’m absolutely against antisemitism and against using antisemitism accusations to shield state violence.
Thank you for holding me accountable That is how we make better more conscious art :)
I can see myself in this game. And it hits hard because it brings back bad memories from my own life.
You have perfectly captured one of the key aspects of modern life: the systematic depression caused by our productive system. This isn’t a personal failing. Just surviving. An symptom of a sick system. Thank you for making this. Well done.
Gosh what a terrible situation. I hope that man is okay or at least safe wherever he is. But I have to be honest: I feel powerless and scared. I keep hearing news just like what you described. I saw this jam as an opportunity to try to relieve that feeling… even just a little
Thank you for sharing that story. It makes me want to keep going
I always thought Germany was a great example of recycling. I lived there for a year and was really impressed by how well-educated people are on the matter. I had no idea most of the plastic waste was exported to Turkey
About the game: the aesthetic is great which reminds me of older 2000s games with that unhopeful tone. Really fits the theme!
Oh I love builders, but not the destructive ones. I quite liked the game but I didn’t get the message. What are the bombs? Are the bombs planted by some kind of Luigi Mangionne style figure because I’m profit addicted? I did a learn an leasson today - the will of greed: destroy, get profit or may you get killed
Never imagined that I would date… Capitalism?! What a toxic guy. Jeez. Even though I’m very persistent by working all day to earn money through mini-games... I kept asking myself: can I really fix him? In the end, I personally preferred his sister or even the mysterious old grandpa.
I love the concept and the pixel art, the mini-game mechanics. I did run into an issue: when trying to deliver the gift to the grandpa, the 'Choose Gift' menu was empty, so I couldn’t give him the fake perfume. Congrats in your game Three Frogs!
