In what way does your game fit the theme?
The main antagonist, the witch, creates chaos by swapping peoples items.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
We wrote all the code and created all assets except a few sound effects ourselves.

5 star innovation! Good game design as well. Also a decent take on the theme!
Funny and innovative game lol, idk if there was any way to win, other than trying to last for the longest possible. But good take on the theme.
Yay gamepad support! I was having a heck of a time getting past the initial menu using my mouse, but once I figured out that the gamepad would work, I was rollin'. This is a clever scene, and I really like how you've mixed the music tracks based on which folks have the right instruments. I wish the song were longer, but this is a really nice touch. I never really hit a point where I felt like I was ahead of the witch. (I thought maybe there was a way to win this somehow, but either there isn't, or I'm terrible at it.) Wish I could toss that witch in the well. But it was still a lot of fun to try to help these poor dudes out. Cute graphics!
I really enjoyed this game! Well done!
I like how you keep easy clues to know who owns what, very clever.
Very chaotic game, made it to 324 though! I love how the music changes depending on who as the instruments! Maybe a screen at the end to highlight my high score!
Thanks for trying! That's a very good score!
Yup highlighting the score at the end would have been good!
hahaa after short moment it's complete chaos! :D I was bit desorientated after while where what thing should go but after all interesting idea, I liked how sound of those people was stoping playing if they had lost their stuff!
Amazing game concept ! I enjoy it ! but it would be better if you add a scoring system, or a stopwatch.
Very cool game and concept! I sure did feel the chaos haha. It becomes very stressful very fast (in a good way).
Check out our game if you can spare some time. We're trying to reach 20 ratings as well :P
Big fan of how the background music changes with what the things people hold. I wish the witch was slower though cause you leave the witch alone for like 10 seconds and it's done and over (but i guess that's the point haha). Very good for what it is though.
Thanks for the feedback :D
I LOVE the gameplay idea! It's really neat. I think the graphics and UI need a little more work tho. The soundtrack was also very nice. As someone has already mentioned, it was a little hard to figure out which item was for who at first. Cool submission :)
Clicking play button doesn't work but Pressing spacebar started it for me!
I think the idea of this game is really nice, I had some fun the witch switching their items making them mad. I can see people playing this on mobile for a quick passtime.
There was so much love pu into this game. Heads slowly turning red, radomnes of swaps and general chaos. One of the better games i played here
Wow, thank you! That really put a smile on our faces :)
a really interesting take on the theme! My only issue was trying to figure out who was supposed to have what originally, Some more obvious visual cues would fix that easy (I know there's some, but sometimes it's hard to tell what they are) Cool game!
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes, the visual cues is one area we need to improve, we realized to late that other people would not know where things really belonged :P
Nice game. I hate that witch already. Unique concept and enjoyable throughout. Best of luck.
Thanks! That witch can be really annoying :D
Great job. Very Chaotic and confusing. It would be better for more visual cues on what object belonged to who.
Thank you for your feedback :). We knew this would be an issue and tried our best to give some hints, but only managed to do it very hastily.
An interesting conundrum that we faced was that we considered adding thought bubbles or similar to more cleanly show what items are needed where - but because there's already so much going on already we felt that it would easily lead to complete sensory overload so we decided against it.
We also actually wanted the game to start with less characters on screen and then gradually bring them in - to make it initially less chaotic and easier to remember what item goes where. But unfortunately there wasn't enough time - you know how it is :D.
Thanks for trying!

Definitely chaotic! Well designed and performs as advertised! The witch can be quite the nuisance! It was fun having to replace the items and it was also cool seeing the animations for the people getting disgruntled along with the hearts and how the sounds all sync up with music as well! Great job!
Thank you!
The amazing thing is that, all the characters perform along with the beat of the music. well done.
Thank you! It was quite a bit of work to get them to sync up like that!
nice idea!!
Hi, I'm really sorry, but I don't think you ticked the compression compatibility option in the player settings when building it, so it doesn't actually load the game :(
Hi!
I did tick the compression option and it loads fine for me (using chrome). I'm not sure what the issue could be for you... :/
Oh, that's really annoying :(
For me it's acting as if "Decompression fallback" wasn't ticked when it was built. It just sits forever on![]()
:(
I didn't rate it poorly, in any case, I was just unable to rate it.
Ah, thats really annoying indeed. I wonder if I did some other mistake which is causing it to hang like that.. :(
thanks for trying at least!
None of the buttons worked
Press space on the keyboard or any button on your controller and it should start.
Unfortunately there is a bug that causes the mouse to not respond upon startup, but if you press Enter (to start) and then enter again (to pause) the menu should now be working.
