How does your game fit the theme?
The game fits the theme "Calm Before the Storm" by focusing on Billy's bucket list, which he aims to complete before a meteor strikes and brings mass extinction. Instead of dealing with panic or chaos, Billy embraces the calm moments leading up to the disaster by checking off simple yet meaningful items on his bucket list—making friends, becoming a boxing champion, beating a race, and dunking a basketball. These peaceful, personal goals represent the calm before the inevitable storm, highlighting the importance of savoring life's simple joys before the end.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself but the assets where used from Kenney game art and audio was from a free non copyright song

Really really cool. An open world game would be really tough to make during a game jam.
I absolutely adore this game!! The race got bugged for me though I couldn't find any other rectangles it made me really sad I couldn't complete it :( The pixel shader was very charming and I loved the ragdoll feeling of the movement! I think you did an amazing job! Only thing I would recommend is since there seems to be a minimap, maybe include a big map that can be opened with 'M'? I had a tough time finding the boxing rings in order and maybe the blue rectangles for the race could be found on the big map as well?
Awesome awesome job though I loved playing it!
Oh and I loved the sound and music design as well!! It was so great!
Also is the flag thing gone? Because itch.io flagged my game for some reason. Thanks for playing the game man!
I still saw the flag, but there's a prompt to let me download it anyway
Thanks for downloading man. I really hope the flag goes down.
I'm seeing this message for the zip file?? -> Why
WARNING: This Page Has Been Quarantined.
From the pictures, the game looks great! Sorry, not sure why I'm getting this message.
Ya itch.io flagged my page for some godamm reason!
Haha, the infinite jump made the game even more entertaining! I had a blast running around and discovering all the different tasks. The city design and quirky gameplay kept me engaged, and the humor added a lot of charm. Even with a few bugs, it's impressive what you pulled off in such a short time. Looking forward to seeing where this game goes next! Awesome work!
I totally vibe with the previous reviews! This game is a blast! 😄 I loved discovering the flying feature—it made things way more fun! The tasks were varied and super engaging, and the infinite jump was a nice surprise. Great job on making it easy to run around in such a big area! Awesome work!
cool graphics
Thanks you are my 100th download on my game!
Nice game! The graphics are cool
It was a really good idea and a fun job. Congratulations.
Thanks for playing the game man!
cool game
That was a really fun and funny game! I'm not sure if the infinite jumping towards the sky was intentional, but it sure made it fun haha.
Good game, like the story
Fun game!
Ragdoll physics were a lot of fun to mess around with. Especially had fun with with basketball trampolines.
Thanks for sharing with my stream! Here's the VOD of your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2256101019?t=00h09m49s
Yo I just watched the VOD! Thanks for playing the full game and completing all the tasks. It really puts a smile on my face to see someone play my game and just messed around with NPCs. I cant believe you played my game for almost half an hour. As per feedback, I am currently working on the game adding obstacles to the race and improving it, also improving the UI. Thanks for playing the game on stream and sending me the VOD really appreciate it.
Hilarious game, such a simple premise and such interesting graphics... like wow! I loved the boxing parts and defeating Tike Myson. I also had fun flying around the map with multi-jumps and taking in the whole of this cartoonish and hilarious world.
Thanks for playing the game! Really appreciate the feedback.
I like this one ^-^ It's fun! I had saved the boxing thing for last and thought "man, I don't want to go hunting for all the boxing rings..." but then! I found out I can fly :O I'm begging you to keep that in, haha.
Ya I got a better idea i am just gonna add jet packs!
as a big fan active ragdolls this game was very fun, it's definitely one of my favorites from this jam! I noticed that I was able to jump when I was not touching the ground which allowed me to fly, this did not seem intentional however it was very fun!
Great job!
Thanks for playing the game, Ya the jumping was not intentional but it is kinda funny. Even i love active ragdolls man!
Just like someone once said : "Physics make me go YES".
I'd appreciate if you also rated my game :)

I really enjoyed the creative mechanics and humor, especially the mini-games. Despite a few minor bugs like the infinite jump, the overall experience was fun, and I’m excited to see how this game evolves!
Also can you rate our game? THX!
Great job man. this reminded me of a game I saw on YouTube a month ago. I really like the things you have to go around and do. Great Job.
Was it from a blackthornpord video, the 5k dollar one? Because this game was a direct inspiration from a game in that vid.
Yes I believe it was that video. Thats funny. but that's good that you got inspiration.
Ya I was like brain storming and was watching the video in bg. It was difficult to get an idea ( my first draft was an overcooked like game) and i saw one guy making a ragdoll game about bucket list and I was like " I want that".
Really fun, loved how you had to physically move the objects to make a friend. Liked how there were very different tasks and the mechanics on each one worked realy well. Not sure if it was intended or not but actually liked the infinite jump. I appreciated the ability to hold down shift to run, the area was pretty large so it was great you included this. Great work on the game!
Thanks for playing the game man! The infinite jump is a bug not intentional but i have fixed it, just waiting for the rating period to end. Really appreciate the feedback.
