How does your game fit the theme?
You try to keep peace and prevent the family members from exploding with rage.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code and animations yes, but all audio and most graphics are from online sources, modified for the game.

that's pretty unique, nice game. Really challenging. A little hard to know what's clickable
Thank you! Yeah it's very challenging. :D
Simple and short, but brings a lot from a little. I know you stated that the graphics and audio are from online sources, but I can say that you had a good eye for both in order to up the hilarity and awkwardness of the situation in this game.
My only real complaint is that there very little contrast between what is clickable and what isn't. One of various examples is the pacifier that not only blends into the rest of the assets, but can also go under certain sprites, making it hard to recognize even if one knows to find it. For a game that requires you to respond as soon as possible, being confused to what is and isn't clickable leads into either the player not clicking at all for a response or luck rapidly clicking all over hoping to fix everything that way.
Thank you for the detailed feedback, appreciate it!
A tough but interesting little game about trying to keep people calm in a family dinner! Love the visuals, especially how the characters look after exploding haha
Thank you! Yeah it's hard game. :D
Nice game! On my playthrough, it turned into complete chaos very quickly and everyone's heads exploded. It felt a little bit unclear what to do and I started just spam clicking everywhere--I guess that's kind of part of the fun, too! Also, visuals were very unique and worked well. GG
Thank you! Yeah the time run out for us to make a tutorial for it. The description explains how to play it.
Really well done game!
it was kinda confusing at the benining i didnt understand what im supposed to do... and at some point their heads went on fire and i dont know if you can make it stop but if you can i didnt figure out how lmao
nice game, i enjoyed it a lot ;)
i'd really appreciate it if you could try my game as well ☺

Thank you! Yeah time run out for us to make a tutorial for it. The description explains how to play it. I will play your game!
It has enjoyable gameplay.
Thank you!
Excellent game, well done!
Thank you!
Very unique among all the other entries, and very well made. You write the graphics are from online sources, but they fit so seamlessly with the premise, as if they were made for the game. The difficulty is high, but not so high you cannot complete it, and I liked that as well. Very nice job!
Thank you! I used 3d assets, but i pieced and modified them together nicely to work with the game. It worked well!
this is so chaotic oml great job!!
Thank you!!
Probably the most whacky game in the jam. In a good way, I mean.
Absolutely loved the vibe.
Thank you! Yeah the game came out very wacky. We are quite pleased how it turned out. :D
I see where that face on your profile came from. Seems more like after a week of game deving your head just combust! Cool game, I love the art style.I feel like the game was a bit unclear at first, but once I got the hang of things I felt like the game was too short. Overall, you have done a good job!
Thank you! Yeah, the profile pic matches the feeling after every jam :D
I'll be gone for the rest of the week, be back on Sunday or Monday.
Managed to keep everyone alive first try! Everyone was burning though lol. Fun game!
Thank you for playing! It's not easy to get all survive first try! :D
I had to get all 6 to the detriment of my health. Great game! Surprisingly fun. Really neat graphic choice. Nice music choice as well. Very solid concept and execution.
Thank you! Glad you pushed through!
Wow I managed to keep everyone from exploding but heads were on fire. I honestly didn't know what to expect at the start when it was so chill but damn that got stressful. I really enjoyed this one, genuinely one of my favorite entries I've seen so far!
Thank you so much!
This was really entertaining! There was also a lot of stuff to be looking out for which made the whole thing very engaging. Great work!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
This was a hectic but fun game! Love the charming GBA styled graphics. Glad I stopped reading the walkthrough after the first bullet point, so I could find out the solutions myself. I totally ignored the gramophone at first, but on my second try I managed to keep them all alive!
Good job! :-)
Thank you! I'm happy to hear you figured it out on your own since some players have struggled with it!
It was like a time machine to 15 years ago. Nostalgic graphics and game design! I liked your vision. The only problem was sometimes it was nearly impossible to detect what was wrong. Nearly half of the family burned down, but I managed to save a couple of them :)
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you got nostalgic vibes!
Love the art style. I really liked this interpretation of the theme, it really felt like everything was going to explode at a moment's notice.
Thank you!
I didn't read the instructions.... but i managed to save 1 family member by the end of the game - it was good fun! The music was perfect for this game.
Thank you!
