How does you game fit the theme?
My game depicts the story of a lonesome individual which seeks others like them.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything was made by me, except the music which was found online.

I really like how the whole game is left open to interpretation, and how everything is told through gameplay and a few effects on screen, with almost no text. The game took a turn from satisfying to kind of disturbing at one point, and made me think of some of the pitfalls of working in/being part of a group (groupthink, confirmation bias, etc.). Other players probably had different takeaways, and that's also what's interesting about this game.
Anyway, really great concept, well executed (don't really have anything to add to what others already said), and a really good take on the theme!
Really liked the concept and the simplicity of the mechanics. Gives you time to think about all the boring desk jobs that everyone is doing :-P Great work!
Excellent idea and concept, the mechanics are also beautiful.
A bit weird, but it looks great and it is pretty fun to play.
What did I just play xD? That was weird, but I enjoyed it ^^! That's an unusual and very original take on the theme, and a very enjoyable experience. Congratulations =)!
I'm glad you enjoyed it : )
bEAUTIFUL
A mind-bending and satisfying experience that worked well, I don't have much to add on to what others have said however I second the idea for some form of visual indication of the horizontal walls. Great job on submitting and good luck in the jam! :)
Nice concept there, tetrix in the third person :)) Well done!
I really enjoyed this game. The snapping between office spaces was very satisfying. It would've been nice to see some sort of expansion with the ending scene (red vs. blue?)
Quite fun, a bit hard to play with a azert keyboard, maybe add the possibility to play with the arrows? But the concept was fun
Damn, didn't think about that haha. Thanks for playing anyway
Amazing concept!! I really enjoyed your game!
Really cool and unique entry! I really liked the art style,
one of my favorite games so far! very nice graphics and a simple concept that is well explained! only thing missing is a suitable sound…
Nice and simple! Watching «the office» grow bigger is very satisfactory
Cool and original game! I like how it feels when you trying to connect a box with a different color. It would be nice to have some visual boundaries for the movement area - I've tied to go left or right a few times, and I wasn't sure why is not working. Excellent job! Please go forwards with this game!
Thank you. And sorry for the boundary’s, there is definitely a feedback missing there.
Really original, great and simple, the early mystery was nice. The concept and the symbolism was greatly appreciated.
Really nailed a sense of progression inside a brilliantly surreal experience, watching the room count grow and grow was very satisfying. Love the interpretation of the theme, and overall really enjoyed the experience.
Cool message and lovely simplistic art ! It could be nice to kind of get some core principle like "if you enter in contact with an individual not your color you lose your room", making it a bit puzzly to always try not to lose members while keep increasing their counts !
Definitely, it would have been a great way to "gameify" the experience I think.
Concept really interesting fun game maybe a bit easy but great game
Rated!
Best game I've seen in this jam so far, especially the idea/the game concept is really great. I had a lot of fun testing this game. 5/5 Fun. Overall a great game!
Could you maybe rate my game too? Would be really nice! ;)
