How does your game fit the theme?
It fits the theme "calm before the storm" because:
1) There is a storm in my game (when the lesson ends and a crowd of students appears like a storm).
2) There's calmness - you can calmly clean up the school while the lessons are going on.
3) The point is that the storm is inevitable, but you can deal with the consequences.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything by myself, except for:
1) Some audio files (I took them from https://freesound.org).
2) A pixel font (which is a free Unity asset).

Hee-ho. Hardcore game, nice vibe. Good
Really cool. I liked to clean while vibing to the song. I think it's a really well planned game that put us in the shoes of a janitor, i started to get mad because the students are so damn dirty haha they could throw the garbage in the trash can themselves haha. I lost in the last level, which is pretty good! Nice work! The art is pretty good too! And it makes so much sense haha a storm of kids...
Thanks!
Wow, really cool idea! It was fun playing it and watching the kids running around. Good art and really good SFX and music aswell. Good job!
very unique and one of a kind game, its absolutely amazing, the idea itself is mind blowing man, keep it up, its a solid 9, and if you mind, read this:

Im a 14 years old boy, who created a game while learning godot and gdscript while ALSO participating in a game jam, it was super hard, but I guess I nailed it, and Im looking for people to rate my game aswell as feedback it, and as someone noble, I will do the same with you, and if I didnt comment, it means your game is actually perfect for all my needs, or IM just not very critics-full, anyway, have a good day:

insanely fun game
1) risk reward structure of bringing trash back early to go faster. The gameplay is sleek, polished and purposeful
2) different obstacles trash and water brings good gameplay variation
3) Fits theme very well with an interesting twist i havent seen yet
4) The game is quite difficult, the penalty for missing trash becomes large, I lost on day 10 with exactly -2 dollars
5) nice pixel graphics and fitting sound, all the kids are bald, the trash bag can get huge!
Thank you for your feedback! It is so pleasant when someone goes deep into your game!!!
very funky, loved the character design, music & lil animations! could've been cool for the balance to serve some purpose, like being able to make meaningful upgrades - the puddles could've also had danger involved with them, like making the character slide across the ground if walk on them or something - still was great, had a lot of fun- thank you for making this!
Thanks! I think there are a lot of ways I can improve the gameplay. I have also rejected some ideas because I want to polish the game instead of adding more features. Also, thank you for your suggestions!
Woah that's a hard game, really interesting, after multiple tries I can't finish the game with any money, I might try it one more time, really interesting, nice job on this one!
Thank you! It gets hard near the end, but it was my plan: -)
I got so mad at the kids even tho that's not the point of the game xD That was really fun and the increasing level of difficulty made it more fun. I didn't imagine I'd be strategizing and trying to find the best rout. Good job on a well made game!
Enjoyed this. Barely scraped by at the end, but I feel like that makes the game more meaningful too. Great ending!
When you carry more you slow down, nice thought :D , and game idea itself is also very interesting
Here is my submission if anyone wants to check: https://abdullahsevin.itch.io/allican
By the last 4 waves, there's not enough time to do everything—strategy, saving money to handle the loss :)
Pretty challenging game! The realistic "more stuff slows you down" mechanic added a nice difficulty curve.
Thanks!
Challenging but entertaining, seemed easy at first but the difficulty certainly started ramping up, enjoyable experience overall.
This is a lot of fun, its a simple concept but done really well. Could use maybe one extra layer to the strategy.
Very fun, very difficult, If there was just a little bit of extra time on the later levels that have a lot of puddles, I feel like it would be the perfect amount. If there are a bunch of puddles if feels like I can clean them all. Really like this one, great job!
Nice take on the theme, bit difficult, but that's fine, audio and art was nice too
Its a new and interesting concept, i really love it. The kids as the storm is very creative.
It's simple, easy, cute, and fun! nice game :> I especially love the ending and concept
Wow, you finished it?? It is so cool.. Thank you!
It's nice to see Scruffy finally getting a backstory.
yeeaas!:D
