How does you game fit the theme?
Don’t is the embodiment of the theme ‘It is not real’ as it exaggerates those concocted childhood warnings to show how nonsensical they truly are. Each level has a clear “don’t” statement that must be breached, causing a dramatic transition to the imaginary world that children envision as the consequence. The game is an overarching lesson that many of the warnings parents give children ‘are not real.’

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Don’t was created from scratch with all code and most models being sourced from the core development team. The exception was the playable character Timmy, whose model and animations were source from ‘Mixamo.com.’ Many of the other models’ textures were sourced from the Megascans library and are covered by the personal license owned by one of the team members. All sound was sourced from uncopyrighted websites like ‘freesound.org.’

Sorry, I have a Mac so I can't download this entry. I love the character form the screenshots though!
Good luck in the jam :)
Thanks so much for the comment :)
Really well polished for the time given, good job! The variety of mini games was great although I felt the shark one was much easier than the others. The hand one was also much harder lol but it was a fun challenge. Good work!
Thanks, I really enjoyed your game too and left a rating :)
Wow, the game is really horrifying. I was scared when the scene changed to the imagination world. The atmosphere and environment set up is good and I really enjoy this game.
Thank you!
man 786 mb!, you guys really go out big time on this one! good job!
Thank you for playing!
This is so good! I can tell a ton of work went into this. The concept is classic and instantly relatable, the aesthetics are on point, and there's a lot of polish. Fantastic work, maybe the best I've played yet.
Thank you!
Most interesting take I've seen on the theme yet! The idea is clearly very well executed, with beautiful graphics, no bugs and great sound design. If there is one bit of feedback I have, it would be to make the first level a bit easier (since logically, in a set, "first" usually coincides with "easiest") and to make the theme a bit more overt (perhaps via an in-game description). Overall though, great job! :D
Thank you very much!
Would appreciate if you could rate mine as well :)
Ok, why are these things so relatable, floor is lava, shark chasing you in the swimming pool, monster under the bed. Just wow, I still remember these horrible imaginations from my childhood. Overall well done, loved it, you created a really cool game!
I'm glad you find them relatable! I was a bit worried that they are too aussie and the others wouldn't get it 🤣
Thank you for playing!
Really interesting and creative game! I really liked how the "real" game mechanics would set you up for the "unreal" parts of the level. Great stuff!
Real and unreal, what is 'real' anyway.
Thank you for playing our game!

Amazing game! I don't particularly like when games get the windows user name, but there's no harm. Cool mechanics and cool story!

Thanks for the comment!
I think this is the game for which I gave the highest rating as of now. Perfect. I loved the character. I think it's from that adobe maxim something. He is great. Add some screenshots as your game is downloadable. In that way, people will know how good your game is. Just a suggestion, you can try making the thumbnail look more interesting. Maybe use a screenshot from game.
Thanks so much for the review. We have had troubles uploading images to our account but will hopefully be sorted soon (I think it might have worked now?) :)
Very good just a little addition in the story
Thank you!
This looks amazing! Well done!
