About Games Development
About Gaming Culture

How is your game meta (within each relevant category)?
The game talks to the player. She talks about her creator (me, the developer) and her desire to be another kind of game. Each personality of the game is a parody of a common genre in the gaming culture: shooters, platformers, open worlds.

Please list any pre-made art/music/other assets that you used.
All the sound effects were taken from the GDC 2018 - Game Audio Bundle.
The sprites for the UI are part of the Kenney Assets 1.

Thanks for the review. I really liked your voice acting for each of "the voices" in the game.

Thank you!

It gave me something to do for each game that was pretty long and dialogue heavy so I just continued for every game I could hahahaha

Game wanting to be another game is a pretty meta concept, but I think I only made it up to the Monkey's Paradise and the game ran away on me..

Thanks for your comment.

Do you think it would be better if the player can get to know "the other games" before it runs out?

I was really confused.  That was too meta!  :)

I liked the concept and the execution.  The humor was nice also.  At the end of the first level I totally saw the continue button too late and tried to exit.  Which then made the next conversation pretty funny.

Nicely done.

Thanks for your comments. It's good to know that (and makes me really happy) you liked the idea and the humor. There are a couple of things I couldn't put into the game due to planning issues, but I'll work on them in a couple of weeks. I hope you play that version too.

It looks very polished, but the first level where you are supposed to 'kill' the squares, I don't know how to progress since I can't do anything except for walking!
