I had SO MUCH fun playing this! It's 100% my niche. The art and overall aesthetic is amazing too. I'm interested to see if you continue to develop this game, I'd probably be willing to pay for a full version!

Developer

The game will probably be refined and improved after the jam is over! Stay tuned for updates ;)

One of the most interesting ones so far. Very fun take! I really love meta stuff. The artwork is so well done, lots of options and variety (I played through several times), and the execution is amazing. Really feels like you would be very good at your own game, because it is so simple yet so effective! Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! We're happy to see the game being played multiple times because we put a lot of emphasis on replayability!

Submitted

Wow, very polished game! Graphics and sound design are impressive

Thanks!

Great interpretation of theme.  I felt the struggle here. 

Developer

Thanks for playing! 

Submitted

Wow, a fantastic interpretation!
Astounding visuals and super polished in general :0
Really admire the work and effort put in the game
Easy and fun to play n.n

Nice job!

Developer

We're happy you had fun! Thank you!

Submitted

very meta lol. Nice theme interpretation.

Developer

Thanks!

Nice game! I think you managed your scope well and made a polished game. It feels relaxing despite time constraints.

A random idea, you could have added names and avatars to your team members, that would make the game feel a little bit more personal.

Great job!

Developer(+1)

We thought about adding names and avatars to the team members, unfortunately like other things we had to cut them! Anyway thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

it was really fun. Also has a lot of replay value.

Artstyle and SFX were neat as well

Developer

Yes we focused on replayability by making different jams and rules! Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Inception haha! I love how this game simulate something that happen in real game jam. Art and sound are really cute. I think it will be good if it has filter task category ;)

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yes, the category filter is something that is needed. We are considering adding it in the future!

Submitted

this was a lot of fun and very cute! i really enjoyed the events that popped up and caused me to pivot my strategy. the game felt calming but also had stakes. i really enjoyed it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! We're glad you liked it!

Talk about a game about making a game :) I loved this entry, played it 3 times before reaching 1st place. 

Lovely music, awesome graphics and polish, really great sense of humor (wish the jam had a category for that!)  Loved the twists that just kept arriving as we got closer to the end (that's just too real lol).

Really fun gameplay, awesome job!

Developer

We're glad you liked the game! And congratulations for the first place :D

Submitted

Really great and funny meta-game. Graphics fit the theme. I liked the different contingencies. “Furry interference” is such a good phrase to use.

Some suggestions:

  • Finding features was difficult. They could be divided into sections.
  • Features should show how much time they take for each team member.
  • Some features (like 2d and 3d graphics) should be mutually exclusive.
  • Maybe have each team member actively work on tasks, so you have to keep them busy to get maximum efficiency.
Developer

Thanks for playing and thanks also for your valuable feedback.

In a subsequent version we will evaluate the addition of mutually exclusive features which could also be useful for others such as the quality level of the soundtrack or the quantity of levels in the game.

That was a really fun game. I played it on my MacBook with the web build first, then tried it again on my android phone, both times it was a fun wee challenge juggling the requirements and workload for each specialisation. Lovely aesthetics (both visual and audio) and enjoyable gameplay!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

Submitted

Sound feedback is pretty nice. The game play makes me remember the first days of this month xD

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

I loved this game for many but specific reasons but I feel biased. The UI looks great and the innovation aspect really  goes above and beyond on this one. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for your feedback!

Submitted

Love the game but I wish it was turn based. Putting new mechanics and content randomly but as fast as I can click gave me first place twice. 
I love game making games and this was  also a fresh approach to them. I  think this game can go and become a full game on steam. It just needs to bind game play and the results better.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! In fact we were thinking of doing it turn based but in the end we didn't have time to question the initial choice!

Submitted

Finally, a GameJam built inside a GameJam which was just the thing we needed xD

The witty writing, beautiful design & gameplay and all the scenarios make this a super fun-to-play game! IDK this has so few ratings but it’s easily one of the top contenders for the winners.

Developer(+1)

We are happy that you enjoyed playing our game! And thanks for sharing the result! :)

Submitted

Pandering will get you everywhere LOL this was fun you know your audience. 

Developer(+1)

We're happy you had fun :)

Submitted

Really enjoyed playing this, and it's very polished :)

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Overall, great game! I really liked the innovation of this game. I haven't seen something similar in other games i have vote. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback and for playing!
