Hey all, 

First I wanted to say this is a great idea, as it is always hard to get people to play your game and give feedback.

Is this something that you want to be shared around? I don't mind posting a link to this jam in a few spots.

Also, just wanted to note that I just submitted my game and it is something that I've been working on for a long time now, ha. Just so people don't think it is something I recently started.

I already had a bunch of info on the game page so didn't want to try and add anything there - as in on what I am looking for feedback on, as it says on the game jam instructions. I just got done adding the audio today, so any feedback on that is good, as I probably need to adjust some volume levels. 

It is supposed to be a small game - as in what I have now I'm not planning on adding to it (but I am planning on making more games with the same assets and such) - so no need to think like what else to add as in like "new levels" or something, but I guess another point of feedback would be for anyone that is new to trying this game, is there any big points of confusion of what is going on or what you are supposed to do? I feel like there is always a big balance of not overloading the player with a bunch of text/instructions/tutorials/cut scenes at the beginning VS understanding what is going on and what to do.

Looking forward to trying some games and chatting with people! 

Note that I'll probably only try the games that you can play in browser - I'm on a mac now and already noticed some games that need downloading only work on windows. I usually don't download games from itch anyway.

Hey, good to see you here!

Feel free to share the jam, I am planning on doing this every month depending on how it goes. I'll try your game in the next following days. Is it very different from the black/purple version?

It is the same concept but very different mechanics.

So the black/purple version is Dave-Man. What I am working on here is actually a re-make of something I did like 8 years ago and was super bad (like it was fun but just such a noob gamedev that it was also bad).  But it was the inspiration for Dave-Man - like let me take this joke even further, ha.

If Dave-Man is like PacMan then this is more like traditional stealth game (but not traditional since its in the office and about getting coffee haha).

And I will definitely share this jam around! Thanks again for setting it up!
