How did you/your team interpret the theme?
We interpreted the them quite literally, you are not playing as a hero in any regard.

How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
It was fun, we always love joining game jams. This time around though real world time constraints and some creative block meant that the game isn't as good as it could have been. Even still we hope that you enjoy the game in its current state, and who knows, we might continue to develop the concept further in the future.

I really liked this entry! I was able to play it with and without CRT in fullscreen and both versions looked wonderful. There seems to be no background music but it did somehow amplify the eeriness of things. 

I didn't get to defeat the GOD (ALMIGHTY) but it was a nice game that made me want to keep trying. The opening dialogue and sound effects were cool as well!

Thank you for joining the jam and congratulations on your submission!

I can't get the game to enlarge so I can see what's going on. The screen is too tiny. It looks interesting though!

Hello! Firstly, i just wanted to say that i loved how it looked, and the voice acting and whole concept seemed really fun. I did run into problems however, since i had a hard time understanding what was going on and how to actually the play the game; as well as the fact that the window was tiny and i couldnt really find a way to make it any bigger so the text was hard to see. I couldn't get very far into it since i just couldn't figure out what i needed to do to beat the first enemy, but i wish i could have, because you have a very interesting base! great job!!!!
