thx!

thx!

thx!

Thanks for the kind words!

omg this game is perfect! The story is fun and engaging while the art style is unique. The difficulty of the puzzles are just at the right level and the music is killing it! This game is just perfect!

The art style for this game is phenomenal! It just felt a little too short for me. Otherwise, great game!

Amazing pixel art and story!

Sadly, I only got to the part where I retrieved protocol T. I am unable to add it into the injection device. Maybe I need an extra syringe to do that but I can’t find an extra syringe anywhere.

Really liked the game especially it’s simple yet eye-catching graphics.

But I can’t finish the maze in time.

Thanks!!!

Hi, you can request for an access to the css editor on itch.io through their support team. You can find more info about it here

thx for playing the game!

glad that you liked it :D

tq so much :)

thanks a lot!!!

thx!

This is a nice little game featuring a fantastic story.

Although I didn’t really resonate with the story as I am not THAT obsessed with reading, I like the simplicity and the arcade feeling of this game.

I got to the part where I have to search for the returned’s graveyard, but I don’t know how to proceed.

It’s a good game overall, it’s just that the music felt a bit too repetitive.

Hi! As what we had announced in our discord server:

The list of prize winners has been drafted, but it is not yet finalized. Once the final list is confirmed, Yahaha officials will begin distributing the prizes. The distribution process may take some time, ranging from several hours to a few days. Therefore, we kindly ask for your patience during this period. Thanks.

Hi. The time at which the prizes will be given out is not confirmed yet. We will DM you once we’ve got to your game. So please make sure that you have joined the discord server and that your DM is open.

Hi, of course you can

yea that’s allowed too.

yep, as long as it is a game

Your gameplay can technically be as long as you want. However, it is advised that you make a short game (keep it within 10 minutes) for people to not skip over it.

you can join our discord server as the theme will be announced there as well.

If you cannot join the discord server due to restrictions then you can come back to this itch.io page moments after the jam starts. This itch.io page will be updated with the theme included.

Tips and Advice

These tips and advice are observed and taken from previous jams.

1. Keep the game simple

You might have heard of this tip a million times before, but I still have to state it here because it is so important and has been ignored by so many game jammers. While it's tempting to try and create a complex game during the jam, remember that your primary goal is to create a playable game. Focus on creating a game with a solid core mechanic, rather than trying to cram in too many features.

2. Upload a browser game

Although this is not a requirement, it is still highly recommended for you to do so. Nobody wants to spend 1 minute downloading a 20MB file made in 1 week, only to use it for 5 minutes.

3. Be creative with the theme

Don't feel constrained by the theme. Use it as a jumping-off point to create a unique game that showcases your creativity and skills. Interpret the theme in a way that is meaningful to you, and don't be afraid to take risks.

4. Don't submit at the last minute

Submitting your game early is a good way to avoid last-minute bugs and technical issues. Aim to submit your game at least an hour before the deadline, giving yourself plenty of time to troubleshoot and make final adjustments.

5. Be active in the community

Want your games to be played by other jammers? Participating in the community is a great way to get your game noticed. Post regular updates about your game, provide feedback and support to others, and play and rate games submitted by other jammers. By engaging with the community, you can create a buzz around your game and increase the chances of it being played by others.

Do you have discord? We’ll sort this out there.

Tips and Advice

These tips and advice are observed and taken from previous jams.

1. Make a simple game

You might have heard of this tip a million times before, but I still have to state it here because it is so important and has been ignored by so many game jammers. While doing game jams, your main focus should not be to make a perfect, mechanic-rich game. Instead, it should be to make a playable game.

2. Upload a browser game

Although this is not a requirement, it is still highly recommended for you to do so. Nobody wants to spend 1 minute downloading a 20MB file made in 1 week, only to use it for 5 minutes.

3. Don't be to rigid while interpreting the theme

You may interpret the theme however you like! Jam themes are meant to be interpreted creatively. Don't be afraid to go wild on the theme!

4. Be active in the community

Want your games to be played by other jammers? Constantly post updates about your game on our discord server! Chat and help out others! Play and rate other people's games! By establishing your presence in the community, people will be curious about what game you submitted in the jam. Eventually, your submission will be played by others.

5. Submit early

Submit your game at least 1.5 hours before the deadline. Trust me, there'll always be last-minute bugs that you have to fix upon submission.

Hi! People of any age can join the jam! But only those above 12 years old can join the discord server.

Hi! The theme will be revealed in a premiered YouTube video which will be posted on the jam page. So you don’t have to join the discord server to be notified.

Hi! They are normally held twice a year, mostly on December and May.

Hi there! This game consists of 4 levels. Nothing will happen if you got to the finish line of the 4th level, not the 3rd level. If you’re sure you’re stuck on the 3rd level, not the 4th, please do reply. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for playing the game. I am so sorry about the stage design. Thank you so much for the constructive feedback!

A super polished game, I like the satisfying sound effects!

Thank you so much!
