What did you revive?
We made the choice to revive our very first collaborative hack, known as 'One Liner,' where the goal was to eliminate as many enemies as possible with a single drawn line. We decided to reimagine this concept and introduce a Halloween-themed twist to it!

Did you use any modifiers? If so which?
Early to bed, late to rise. We didn't get to spend too much time on this game jam.
We tried to use bare bones by keeping the art as simple flat pixel assets.
We also used the skeleton modifier.

What was your goal? Did you succeed? Any noteworthy lessons?
We sought to revive our hack from over 8 years ago and enhance it with the knowledge and experiences we've gained since then.
Witnessing how much progress we've made since embarking on this journey was truly gratifying.

Who all worked on your submission?
TwoTiredGames is a team of two.
We consist of a,
Programmer: Logan Pribyl
Artist: Natalia C. (Lalaartastic)

Did you use any noteworthy assets in your project? If so what?
All art was created during the jam.

Heya! This is Jana from discord~ Super cool and creative idea! Had a lot of fun and it was very challenging haha!

A simple yet challenging game that makes me feel like I'm floating in the juices of my own brain.

Thank you for playing! I'm glad it made you float in your brain juices. 

Very fun and easy to pick up game. No instructions necessary. Could easily see myself playing a few levels of this game during idle time.

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you found it fun and easy. We wanted to keep as simple as possible so people could pick it up easily. 

This is legitimately a great speedrunning game. It seems like such a simple collection of tasks to juggle (click button, draw line, get bone), but my mind went completely blank a few times after hitting a lever. Such a cool idea. Loved it!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm really happy to hear you think it's a great speedrunning game. I didn't think about that.

This game was AMAZING! Loved it so much!!

It's such a creative puzzle game. And very intuitive and fun. Would be cool to have seen the levels get harder but I realize this is just a demo. Art, music, and SFX feel very Baba is You which I liked


Also liked the dancing skeletons at the end! Great reward for finishing the game :3

Developer

Thank you! We were very inspired by Baba is You. Thanks so much for playing.

This was such a fun little game, more challenging than it appeared to be at first. Spare Ribs is also an absolutely adorable character.

This is a neat puzzle game but I think you should clarify in the instructions that you need to reach the exit and collect everything in one stroke. Now, it did not take me long to figure this out, but many players are lazy and will just assume that "this does not work" if they cannot instantly tell the premise. 

This is as far as I know a pretty much totally original concept for a puzzle game, great going. 

Developer

Yes that's definitely a good point! I'll add that in the gameplay instructions. Thanks for playing!
