Interesting idea for a game! I like the metaphor of facing challenges to overcome your worries. Having  a fully customisable mode is a really cool option. The gameplay seems a bit imbalanced in that it's super difficult at the start but becomes trivial once you absorb a few things. But perhaps that was meant to be part of the message?

getting challenges to eat bigger worries is a cool idea, but since you can't see what challenges you've eaten once you've eaten them, it just turned into me looking for what worries were flashing white, instead of correlating challenges to worries like the intention seemed to be

this is the weirdest game in this jam i have played... :)

Well, i tested some games and this is one of most playable until now. Everything working perfectly, but the objective of the jam is to be creative, and i think i already see that game idea in some place😅

Cute idea but it's just not all that engaging, the controls feel a little slippery and I feel like there's a lot of vibes that you wanted in this kind of calming, overcoming anxiety sense that you weren't able to add into the final product due to the limit in production time. It could be cozy but it's not all that relaxing or engaging with where it's at right now.

I had fun! I was a little confused about the creating my own worries until I played through an example round myself. Thanks!

This is such a good game to people people overcome anxiety! Also love that player's can make their own worries so that it relates to their own struggles and helps them think of ways to overcome them in the real world!

 I love this idea a lot. It's a really cool metaphor that translates well into a game. I do think that the challenges make the game a little too easy, but then again i guess that's a good message to send if that's what you were going for. Great Job!
