How does your game fit the theme?
Expect the unexpected, this game is about killing goblins... or is it? In reality, you will quickly discover that the knight you are playing is inside a mobile game, being hold by an unaware person in a dangerous city, and they are not looking around!! But hey, we are lucky, because the roles are reversed! The knight is actually maneuvering the person using buttons inside his games... help them touch some grass!

Rewardingly difficult and a great take on the theme!
Awesome game!!!
Creative implementation makes the game challenging at first but fun, Good job !
Funny idea! Difficult but interesting controls. Perhaps you'll enjoy my game as well, it's also about whacky controls, though I didn't get to finish it.
Feature suggestion: The knight has to fight off enemies that are trying to mess with the controls.
Great concept, but it was hard for me to focus on getting my guy to the grass, because him getting hit by a car somehow felt amazing :P
Awesome game! really engaging and also really funny!
The first time i got hit in the back by a car and i heard that "thump" sound just made me blast out laughing hahahah
really funny and well thought out game! the controller seems perfectly tuned and is very fun to control.
btw, whats the record for this xd
Hey thanks! Some of my friends actually finished the game is less than 15s but I don't have their proof ^^
going for sub 15
close enough lol
Well done ^^
Great game! I completed it in 2m 52.38229s
I would love to see this released as a full game! Congrats on such a nice piece !

Loved the game idea! But make sure you can collide into those signs. And the chickens lmao what were they for 😂🤣🤣😆
OMG Thats frustrating and difficult! I love it :D A few more animations would have been nice but time is short we know :)
Look at all them chickens!
A unique take on the theme, and was definitley challenging!
Really love this one! Very funny, surreal, and slightly rage inducing (in a good way). Great job :)
I didn't get why there was so many chickens but great game idea, I loved it
Super neat idea and really funny to play. Quite difficult but I can see this as a 'YouTuber Plays' kinda game.
It's very difficult. The game has so many chickens, including two giants, a yellow/brown one in a dark street.
A car stuck between some houses in a pedestrian zone.. Cars going crazy with a big gang of chickens at the entrance to the park. I loved exploring the city but next time I'll take a gun and a stop sign !
(time to reverse the violence and the roles XD)

Why did the chicken cross the road? To silently judge you on your way to 'Touch Grass'. This game does a phenomenal job with the theme 'Roles Reversed'. You must control the player with their in-game mobile app, whilst walking through busy traffic. The chickens will silently judge you at best, and F#(&!NG kill you at worst. ENJOY!

[ + + + + - ] :: ENJOYMENT
I felt silently judged by the chickens.. Perhaps this was their revenge for all of those jokes I told as a kid.
I had a good time with it! I was genuinely afraid of dying; and knew that if I made the slightest mistake I would have to start over from the beginning. This was simultaneously good and bad. It can be a turnoff if you are nearly at the end and have to start from the very beginning. I like what BrainLighters did in their game. They had a checkpoint system which reassured me as I made progress. I think if you had something like that it could be a 5 star game. I could see myself running out into traffic and just enjoying the chaos that ensues.
[ + + + + +] :: CREATIVITY
I feel like the roles were being reversed on multiple levels! Firstly, I was the game controlling the player. Secondly, I felt like the chickens were telling me.. "Now you know how it feels to be at the butt of everyone's jokes."
It was very clever! I can't think of a good reason not to give it 5 stars.
[ + + + + - ] :: PRESENTATION
I have to give it 4 stars, because you did a phenomenal job of setting up the experience visually, and making good use of the audio cues. It would be a 5 star game if there were audio for the cars (extra spatial awareness) and if the signs didn't cover my vision when walking through them (had to do some guesswork when passing in front of them).
Confirming my reviews today. I'm leaving this one as-is. Giving you a follow!
Dastardly difficult, but hilarious concept! Made me genuinely dread getting hit by a car.
Thanks! I am just so proud of the car hitting sound and violence
I like the Intro. The game was quite difficult for me. I did not make it to the end. Controls are frustrating, but it's in the concept. The subtext is quite clever.
Great job.
