- GDD Well-made GDD; it hit all the marks. I would like to see some images of the game and a more detailed timeline. Even if you can only work on it during the weekend, it helps us to see how you do things. Gameplay Interesting concept; it gives insight on the programming of an AI and made me feel like something with no free will but a directive that is slowly becoming sentient. The missile feels very hard to control, super fast. I think it would be better to leave the aiming on the mouse for extra precision. The concept of missing the target leading to a negative feedback, which is often used in programming, was well done, but I really wish you would go a little easier on the suicide theme. It's not for everyone. At all. I would play the game way more if it weren't for that. Art Perfect tube TV/HAL9000 feeling for the screen. The art on the gameplay section feels like a camera on a missile. Well done. Sound design There's no BGM, but it fits the theme. Instead, there's SFX for the ambience. The SFX for the text is on point, but the scream of the missile felt really off. I don't know if it fits the theme much. Last thoughts You did well with such a limited time. But I felt the approach on the writing was a bit too heavy; it's not for everyone. But with the right tags on Steam, it might do well. Great job.

Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
yes

yes
Summarise your game!
You are an ai being taught to be a missile targeting system. You are not in control of what you're fired at, or why, someone else is using you as a weapon. They fire you. The only thing you have control over is steering the missile.
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You have been created to serve someone elses interests. You are being wielded towards unknown ends.

Very interesting idea and quite well executed ! I liked the glitchy aesthetic and the gameplay which makes me feel like I am trapped and forced towards a single goal , which I assume was intended.
The only improvement I would suggest is making the target collider more forgiving/bigger, there were a few times I thought I hit the target, but I must have just missed it. Maybe since it is a bomb, as long as the target is within a certain distance upon impace it could still be a success. Just a suggestion though.
Overall great job with your jam game !
