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!

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.
i love the concept, it's hilarious how you've executed the idea. the dark souls of touching grass
Very funny and very creative!
At first I thought I was being tricked, then my monkey brain figured it out lol that was fun!
Dude can't even touch grass without not looking at his phone the entire way to the park. Young people these days...
Insane credits
Really interesting way to control a character. It says a bit about society too which is nice. Seems like you had fun doing it so good job.
I was way too scared of the chickens looking at me than I am supposed to.
Great idea, but very complicated controls, I didnt manage to finish it, tho I saw the entrance to the park eventually!
I loved the easter eggs, like a giant chicken or a walking golden chicken. Nice job!
Funny concept, still no idea why chickens can kill me :D
What a fun little game XD I thoroughly enjoyed it, the controls are very fun to use, although sometimes it spiralled out of control when I forgot to turn off the walk button. But I love the other small additions you have for the control scheme, such as the quick left/right, very useful for looking on both sides of the incoming traffic to help cross the road, yet it still requires some fine adjustments on the player's end to make it work. All in all, this game is probably one of the best game I would be enjoying for this post jam period! Did not expect to find such a gem at the very first game I try.
this game is insane. nice work!
I really like the intro 2s game to 3d. Novel take on controlling the player characters, good job!
absolute blast. even went back to get a sub 30 second run
Is that a chicken.... Crossing the road???
Super fun and creative concept, and surprisingly challenging! The music was another surprising choice but had me, honestly, getting emotional. Five stars all around, really a masterful game.
Me: walks into traffic twice
The bird across the road: 👁👁
Really funny concept, I thoroughly enjoyed it!
