A pretty good game, though a bit disconnected... it was hard to really see what the progress on certain tasks was (was that even a thing?) and the sudden changes from the news alerts only affected the options I chose one time near the end (where I needed to add an accessible UI). I got a good score so I guess I did it right?

Developer

Thank you for the feedback :) Yes, every feature assign some points based on the requirements! :) 

Submitted

Cute little game! Felt all too real :) Loved the graphics and the SFX!

Developer

Thank you! :)

Submitted

Nice job - this was a fun little game! I think scrolling through the different feature options could be optimized, though maybe this was a design choice? I just found myself scrolling through looking for a certain feature and was never able to find it. Again nice job!!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Definitely, the features UI could be optimized in order to make them easier to find.

Original game! Fun Idea, you totally understand how game development works!

Probably adding a way to show the player how these decisions impact the development of the game will help a bit, but also at the moment is a very polished game!

Developer

Thank you STARDICE Games! And thank you for the suggestion: there's always room for improvement :)

Submitted

Wow, it's really original! Lol

The art is beautiful. The controls and objectives are simple enough (like it) and very easy to understand.

Truly a very good game, and one of my favorites in the Jam!

Developer

Thank you, Symbio Studio! 
To make it simple was our goal since the beginning, and I'm glad we didn't miss it! :)

Submitted

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 ;)

Submitted

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

Developer(+1)

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!

Submitted

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!

Submitted

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.

Submitted

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!
