How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
The game lets you zap the channels on a retro CRT TV during a spooky thunderstorm. Except nothing seems to be on...

I liked the static effect on the tv, it's too bad there wasn't any sports on. Though the jumpscare did get me...!

pretty neat, Im not sure if the distortion effect counts against the rules for the gameboy jams limited color pallete so it may lose points in the gameboy soul catagory, but otherwise, quite the jumpscare

Thank you so much! Yeah if I knew how, I would have added some final processing step to limit the colors to 4 while keeping the effect.

It's more of a jumbscare than a game. Filled with creepy vibes but really not a game. If there was a bit of gameplay it could easily be even cooler. Good effort though!

Thank you!

I was planning on having some kind of gameplay/goal but in the end didn't find the inspiration.

The description sounds great, maybe you could upload it again to a new project and post a link to the new itch.io project."

Something went wrong when publishing and unfortunately itch game jam rules won't allow me to re-upload. 🤷‍♀️

I really hate to hear that, the description made me excited to try it out... It might be worthwhile to mention what went wrong on the game's page, and maybe upload a gameplay video or GIFs to the itch page, so people can judge those? I know it's not the same as uploading the game proper, but I think you should get recognition for the work you put in.  I understand not wanting to though.😓
