This was nice to play. Short and sweet. I found the little alien guy endearing, and I like how hit antennae look like the antennae of an old TV. I could see this being polished into a full game people would enjoy :]

Such a unique and strange game! I really appreciate the distinctive approach of having puzzles in a jam which sets it apart from the generic genres you often see. As others have noted, it needs a little bit of bugfixing, but that's alright - the game conveys its core ideas well! The time and reaction-based puzzles are a great idea and there's definitely a lot of ideas to integrate them with other minigames. A little WarioWare, if you will. I hope you're able to keep working on this and complete the vision of the game you were going for as it looks very promising!
Thanks for being a part of the Scream TV jam!

hey thank you so much! Yeah I have a build that fixes everything ready to go after this jams over.
Yup was going for a Warioware type thing haha I built the game so that I can add as many new mini games as I want with unique dialogue, so Im going back eventually and expanding. Thanks again for playing and also organizing this jam!!
got past the first two games but it wouldn't load the third, otherwise the concept is nice and i enjoyed what i could try out!

The Ritual [Prototype]I like the pixelated look of the game, however it often took minutes to get to the next game. Could be really fun when optimized and with more mini games!

The Ritual [Prototype]I like the look and idea of the game, but when I win the shuffle game or the jumping game, nothing happens D:

M.I.L.G.R.A.MThe initial screen with the pixel art and little guy on the TV looks very cool! Unfortunately, i can’t get past it. Tried pressing all the controls but nothing happens.

Press PlayI don't think it is playable past the menu screen. I tried every key on my keyboard and mouse and read the controls on your page but it just doesn't work :(

Static StrollI got past the menu after clicking Play but there are no instructions on the controls or what to do. Would be cool if a "how to play" was given. The music is pretty cool and i think it could work with the game
