hehe i think i cleared the game. i expected another variation on tower defense but this is a very fresh and original concept, its very hard though because its basically 2v2 so you have to try and out-manoeuver the opponent. i suspect that putting more groups in either faction would make the game less reliant on skill and more on tactics but idk if you wanna do a skill game or a tactics game. I hope you keep iterating on the format it's pretty nice and well suited to activism tbh

i think i'll never escape the fact that im made up of someone who sucks at platformers =P I didn't get to the end of JC (yet?) but I did ride the ouroboros xD I was a bit surprised to not see it loop at the end (lol). How do you envision the tarot drawing at the end? am I cheating if I'm looking at several endings ^^ ?

thanks!

yeah I had to make tough choices and I went for the A MAZE game jam this year but next year I'll probably do the fuck capitalism one if it is still running ^^

loved the game, it's nice that the game keeps surprising you, the worldbuilding is top notch.

Having to manage stocks is an interesting twist on the clicker formula! I cut it short because clickers are very addictive, but it really puts in perspective how many meals you can give away with a fraction of an oligarch's fortune

I love it when games teach me about reality :) awesome job

Loved the game! It reminded me of your entry from last year, I don't know why xD Do you know if the towers in the game are representative of methods people use on the ZAD? Regardless, the sprites are gorgeous ^^

hmmm i got the "love yourself" ending first, not sure i actually matter tho

I will!

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for playing! I hope you enjoyed the challenge, I made sure that it's not punishing so that it stays low pressure ^^

Hello, thanks for playing and thanks for your kind words! It is based on a philosophy and psychoanalysis, I read a lot of those XD

Let me reciprocate by telling you that your game was one of my favorite at A MAZE this year! 

thanks for playing!

i lost :(

Thanks for playing! It's was pretty hard to do but that's the idea :) but like any form of communication a lot of people still miss it :( its definitely harder than plain words :)

pretty interesting vibe, loved the writing. a little mad at security for letting in a wild gator and a wild santa that made my visit to the museum challenging

Hi, thanks for playing the game and thanks for the very thoughtful and interesting comments.

I think I mostly agree with you. The thesis explored in the game is indeed pretty extreme, I don't think I'd stand by it as an actual representation of reality.

It's more like poetry. The complete dissolution is mostly a trick to make the loop structure and the color trick work xD 

But I do think that in our hyper individualistic era we could use some more collectivist stories and fairytales xD it's a bit provocative to make people think, and a bit vague to remain open to interpretations.

I do wonder how much of our conceptualisation of the borders between the individuals and the hyperobject depends on the culture we're raised in. It's really good that you mentioned that now, I'll pay attention to that in the future playtests that I do and see if there's something to document here.

If I had to pinpoint my actual position I tend to think of consciousness and selfhood as a story we tell ourselves, so the actual dissolution finale in this case should be something like : your story continues beyond your meat body by intermeshing with others. 

thanks for trying it out!

BABAA but i wouldnt trust me lol

Hope you enjoy it if you do, if it helps plan I estimate it takes 5-20 min tops.

Let me know if you patch the game, though I guess I'll receive a notification anyway XD

It was pretty interesting to read this half-true story :) I hope I can find some [] in Berlin for A MAZE ^^

very cute, at first i panicked because everything goes so fast but I quickly stabilized even if I had to lose some limbs in the process ^^ made me think of the ship of theseus :P

very cute little game :) i quickly converged on a "all talk" strategy xD I wish there was a way to break or sell the mirror, but I guess denial isn't very healthy either is it

love the visuals and the vibe! 

my headcannon for the berlin ending is that you're getting beat up by cops cause germany is one of the countries with the strongest repression of anti-genocide protests. this actually still makes me scared to go, but I guess it'll probably be allright if I pretend hard enough to be negationist. scary tho

merci et merci d'avoir tente ta chance! dommage, c'est un systeme ou tout le monde est perdant xDD

this is really cool, I expected a bunch of trolley problems and i ended up having a lot of meaningful interesting choices!

I hope this isn't costing you too much to run, it's really cute!

sweet little game the gameplay is very smooth! is there a score after which the player manages to change public opinion or are we doomed whatever i do and is this a statement ^^ ?

Hi! First of all thanks for playing, further thanks for reporting the bug and sorry it happened to you. I see exactly what you're referring to because I've battled with it during the development process, I thought I had it under control but it is apparently not the case. The vertical scrolling is supposed to happen, I'm not sure why it doesn't. I'll enforce it with stricter conditions and setup a maximum height for the text.

thanks for giving it a shot! I didn't see any game as meta as this but I haven't tried them all yet

Thanks for trying it out! I did want to make it work with player input but I didn't have time ^^'

Thanks a lot for playing! I've never made it over 10k so congrats xD

Thanks for trying it out! If it makes you feel any better I also had terrible luck on all my test runs XD

thanks for giving it a try!

Thanks for playing! The cover art is from my amazing friend Mirukyu who didnt have the time to participate in the jam any more than this!

thanks for giving it a shot! I'm pretty glad I'm not the one who has to do moderation live on stream xD

thanks for playing!

Hehe thanks for playing and reading! And commenting, I was worried about audio level, not having had time to add audio settings! Finding a balance between light and serious was my main priority and concern with this, so I'm also glad you picked up on it!

thanks for playing!

really cool to see a game inspired by loop hero. special mention for the title screen, it slaps! I had a great time playing, my only complaint would be that I would have loved to control speed of time but ofc it's hard in the scope of a game jam
