How does your game fit the theme?
Our game is about a boy addicted to playing using his cell phone on the street. When we try to control a video game, but at the same time we have to deal with the world around us, we are left with no control over either. The mechanics reflect this lack of control, giving you a lot to control and, thus, generating a lack of control in the player. The player must control the boy in an infinite runner in first person, dodging pedestrians while playing an arcade of asteroids on the cell phone he carries. In the arcade you don't control where the ship goes, just where it shoots, reinforcing the lack of control.

This boy is walking way too fast! That's not safe :o
I love the double mechanic of the game, it works really well! Nice job!
hahaha I'm really glad you liked it! Thanks! S2
It took me a while to understand how exactly do I operate the game, but once I got an idea, the game-play was pretty smooth. If you have time, please check out my game :D
Thanks for the feedback! I'll check your game as well!
loved the concept, very well realized. The 2.5D city and art is very cool. The mobile game needs a bit more feedback and work, but overall a super solid contender
Thanks for the feedback! We still haven't adjusted the mechanics for a mobile version, for now it only works for computer browser.
i meant the in-game game that the main character plays :P
Your team made a pretty cool start of a game. I think there's more to explore here and I hope you do just that. The concept alone can lead to a lot of interesting and humorous scenarios.
Thank you for the compliments. We really liked the concept we came up with as well as the final result. Although it is not complete, we were able to implement a solid base of the game's idea.
The only thing this game needs is a score counter just so I can show the world how irresponsible I am cruising down the sidewalk. Nice work!
Thanks for the feedback we really appreciate it. I've already implemented the score counter in the next build, we'll update the itch page version as soon as we can.
Its a very cool concept, having to watch 2 different health bars was done very well.
I'm so glad you liked it! We debated a lot in the group to arrive at this concept.
amazing game!
I'm really greatefull for your feedback! Thank you!
Great game! I love the concept of a "game within a game" and think it was well implemented. Had fun and got really into it fast!
Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it! S2

Quite fun! Keep up the good work!
If you have time I’d appreciate if you could check out my game as well!
Thank you! I will play your game too!
Great idea to show a lack of control. This is a really cool idea! I only wish there was some kind of scoring system or in game timer.
Thanks for the feedback! We plan to implement, but we didn't have time during the jam.
