How does your game fit the theme?
In Backseat Beebow your little sister is playing the game, and you are only able to suggest to her what she should do. The game simulates the frustrations of watching someone play a game that you want to be playing. You are "out of control" because you aren't actually the one playing, and your sister gets mad when you tell her what to do too aggressively.

Wow this was super awesome! I really like the concept of making a game about a backseat-gamer haha. The art and UI is amazing as welll. This idea is so clever, you should keep working on it! Great job submitting to the jam, and I hope you learned a lot of new things! If you have time, please check out my entry :D
Thanks! Like any game jam we had a lot of "if time" items left on our todo list at the end so we may revisit those! Thanks for playing :D
This is a really well made game. I really like the art for the game, with a sort of spin off mario character. This was really cool, great job.
nice ‘back-seat gaming’ game? Either way great work!
If you have time I’d appreciate if you could check out my game as well!
Great idea! Very smart. Simulates perfectly the frustration of being a backseat gamer :D
Great concept and good execution, good job!
Your game is very fun! I had pleasure to play it. Lovely presentation. It's very original too. Well done!
As a single child, that's exactly how I imagine having a sibling is like.
just fun and true
It was a great game.
I played this game with my sister and we both loved it. Sound was good and the anger mechanic was very nice.
What are you doing, just JUM... Oh, right... Great idea for a game! Wonderfully frustrating. Simple, clever, funny.
Tooked me a while to get the timing but it was very fun to play!:)
It’s funny because it’s true!
So fun ! My highest is score is 17 :c
I'm sad, i can't rate it...
An incredibly original concept, and you absolutely nailed the frustration of both sides of backseat gaming somehow XD Well done!
The funniest backseatgaming experience I've ever had. Very original and relatable! I love how you can even make her mad by spamming the button.
Thanks for the kind words! We had a lot of fun with making it really feel like you are backseat gaming
Very frustrating, the background music will be stuck in my head for days!
First game in the jam to make me laugh out loud, loved the artwork.
Oh god it's infuriating.
>The game simulates the frustrations of watching someone play a game that you want to be playing
Really does. So thanks I hate it! LOL.
I bet you had more more fun making it than I did playing.
5 stars for really nailing the theme hard!
Haha we definitely leaned into the frustrating aspect of the game, thanks for playing!
Really like the art and cool concept! -James
Thanks!
