This is great. I hope you expand on this and add some more things that could help people learn ways they can deal with bullying. Thank you for making this. 

Developer

Thanks for playing! We are planning more features to simulate on how to help the victim. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Great game, that's a meaningful topic. The combination of the mechanics of the feeling of relieving from bullying is perfectly match, good jobs! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! We really want player to experience the same thing what the victim feel about being bullied.

Submitted

Loved the premise of the game but it was a bit confusing why it was more stressful to repeatedly click on the 'keep calm' button furiously and just leisurely holding the ignore buttons lol

Developer

Thanks for playing! 

Hahaha, we just want player to feel the rush and to experience what the victim feel.

Submitted

the idle clicker mechanics are awesome had a lot of fun and the story and every thing was great.

very inspirational

Developer

Thanks for playing! we hope by this method, many people aware of the issue and know how to solve it.

A unique concept, and the way you convey the theme is pretty interesting; the visuals are really good; the environment and the characters themselves are well drawn; and the music is pretty cool as well. Good job! :D

Nice game!!

The way the art and the music is so peaceful and yet he needs to face the bad thoughts is an interesting approach for the two dimensions theme.

Nice work!!

Thanks for playing! we try to show the other side of the life.

I like the art style and the attention to detail in Umar's animations, the clouds and sun moving, etc. The whole presentation is very polished and has a good message.  Great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing! we got a lot of features not able to implement yet. But I'm really glad you got to enjoyed a bit of it.

I thought the art for the game was good! I liked the music too. I think the last level might have glitched out for me. I didn't need to click on the calm button but it was a fun little experience. Bully bad :(

Developer

Thanks for playing! yeah I think it was a bug. Haha. Anyway, we try to spread an awareness about this to as many people we can.

I really loved this! the visuals and music fit really nicely and the message was wonderful. Great Job! Edit: I went back to see what would happen if you lose and I was happy to see that it also gives a good message :)

Thanks for playing! We try our best to spread awareness and help whoever in need.

simple yet also fun. Unique taking for a concept where bullying is the problem. If you continue the game post jam, maybe you can add more character instead of only the player and the fire. More human character for actually "bullying" the player maybe they will yell at you, throw you something or some bullying action. Overall good job for finishing the game! 

Developer

Thanks for playing and that's actually a very good suggestion! We will put a note on that. We really want to simulate bully as close as possible so that the victim can seek for help if they encounter same situation.

Developer(+1)

Of course! Thanks for playing. 

Submitted

it's ok :D big thumbs up to you for submitting, it's a huge step.

Submitted

I really like the art and music. Good message as well.

Developer

Thanks for playing! We want to help victim in any way we can.

This is such a heartwarming game with a very important message. Gotta say, it honestly made me smile along the way. No matter where you are or how old you are there are always going to be bullies. Be strong and just manage your emotions. Stay with those that you care about and care about you.


Congrats this is such a lovely game!!


Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! we try our best to help those in needs.

Submitted

I like the theme, with 1 more mechanic it'd have been more fun through all the levels. Nicely done :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! we planned to add on it but don't have enough time. Haha

Submitted

Yep, great message :)

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Great Message.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Great job, I loved the message in this one. Good use of simple mechanics. It would be cool if the negative emotions were actually characters that the player meets, both supporting and bullying types. The player can ignore the bullies and get support from friends to keep their emotions high.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing! that's actually a very good suggestion. We will keep that in mind.
