How does your game fit the theme?
The protagonist becomes "joined together" with other entities by a rope. The catch is that the player is a living grenade, which means that the enemies cannot get too close to him, since they just want to kiss him, making him blush and explode. Because of this, he has to blow the enemies away. At the same time, however, he cannot blow them away too much, or the ropes that are attached to his pin will pull it out and cause him to explode. Our game fits the theme by having the player and the enemies joined together by ropes, and there is penalty for stretching the rope too far.

Nice idea! Very tricky and I wish the Game Over screen was a bit shorter so I could try again quicker, but very nice experience and amazing art! Good job!

I like the concept, it's nice and the art is cute as well. If I were to give a little feedback I would say that I would love to see a replay button so I don't have to restart the whole game each time I die. Great job though!

I like the idea and the art of the game but it seemed very difficult not to die a lot in the first attempts

Great Concept and nice execution. Although the difficulty curve is really steep. I barely manage to keep one at bay when the second one comes, and not long after the third, and then Boom 😆. Great Game!

Thank you very much for playing! We couldn't properly finish the game before the deadline, but we will be updating it right after the jam voting ends. Stay tuned!

Artwork was really good but the game felt a little hard to play and I was a little unclear at first.

Also the same mechanic getting you killed is kinda dissatisfying. Great game other than that. I really liked it. Kinda really similar to mine.

Good job finishing it on time!

Really awesome artwork on this, well done. I was a little confused that I couldn't blow away the ghosts before they attached to me, but worked it out after reading the game description.

There wasn't and sound for me and I had to Alt-F4 and restart the game to play again.

Hi! Thank you very much for playing our game. Yeah, as you could probably tell, it is not at all finished (I and my friend had only one day to make it). We will be uploading the finished version of the game in one week, right after the jam voting ends. Your feedback is very valuable for us! :) <3
