Fixed! 🤞

Thanks again.

Thanks for the report! Working on a fix for it now.

Thanks for the helpful review. I was thinking about using a little chainsaw to cut my monitor down to size. The screen is just a tiny bit too big and I have to turn my head slightly to look at the corners. Now, thanks to your comment, I feel confident that this chainsaw is equal to the job.

Thanks!

Thanks Ashley! I'm glad you liked it and I hope you don't get the watermelon dream.

(BTW, most players don't notice that there's a relationship between their choice and the results, a little bit like real-life on the internet.)

Thanks Brett! Do you think the mechanic is difficult to figure out? It is intentionally left to be discovered by the player.

Having to form sentences by trial and error, always coming back to the same or similar results. I like the way the formal experience mirrors the text and its dissatisfaction with communication.

Thanks a lot!

Let's not forget that amplifying comments on the internet can have real world consequences 😉

Thanks for playing!

This issue should be fixed now! Thanks again for the report.

Thanks a lot Tim!

Is there anything these little beauties can’t do? I’m going to order a second one so I can hold one in each hand. 

I enjoyed the story and the way that visiting locations at different times produced different results. I particularly liked the way the texts changed while I was reading them and I would like to see more of it.

I enjoyed this little story because it reminded me of when I left to go to college, with all the anticipation and trepidation that came with it. I wonder if you're planning to expand the story into something longer or if you will keep it short and self-contained? I would be interested to see how the two characters compare their experiences over the semester.

I added the full screen option between your first and second comments 👍

The ending, the news reports and a portion of the reviews that you see depend on the choices you make with the Helpful and Report buttons. Your experience (and the color scheme) will change to align with how helpful you found the evil reviews. There are two endings: a bad ending and a slightly less bad ending!

Thanks for the report. If you reset the browser zoom level to 100% (cmd/ctrl-0) and reload the page, it should fix itself. There is an engine bug that happens when the zoom level is 80 or 90%.

Thank you so much Rheia! I really enjoyed watching you play, as I always do 🩷

Thanks! The game is requalified and back in the jam

Thank you Virtual Nomad! Your presence in the jam since the beginning has been a blessing. The energy and the enthusiasm you bring is a boon to everyone. 

Thanks very much! This is my second game to feature crocodiles and I have a feeling this guy might come back again some time :)

Thank you Xed! The questions are really mnemonics. For a while I switched over the "strangest people" and "coldest place on earth" because the questions work with both chapters. I changed it back because it seemed a bit too cruel. If I work up a V2, I will probably draw a closer link from one chapter to the next via the questions.

It's simple, it's cute and it's fun! I feel like it could be a nice addition to increase the suction power as you collect more slimes so you feel like you're getting better at it the more you do. Also some visual representation of the vacuum - a cursor shaped like a vacuum cleaner could do it.

Although it's very simple, I do think this is a game that could be expanded to become more addictive, in the same way that survivors games are simple but addictive.

Nice job. Keep it up.

Thanks so much Joonas!

Good looking game and a good fit for the jam! It could really use some sounds to beef up the fun.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your jam submission! This jam requires you to submit games that are are free to play in the browser on itch.io.

We have made the game invisible for now. If you release a version that follows the jam rules, let us know and we will make it visible again.

Thanks a lot!

You're very welcome!

Thanks DaiZa! Really glad you liked it

Just to let you know not to panic, I'm going to disqualify the game from the jam (that just means it won't be listed) until the web version is playable. If you have any problems getting the game to run on the web, drop by the discord and someone might be able to help you out.

The only real requirement (apart from it being a video game that's playable in the browser) is that you engage with the constraint, and you definitely did that!

Thanks, and I'm glad you're enjoying the story!

Great, thanks!

Intense! I didn't manage to get on the leaderboard but I had fun trying. There is a lot of polish and quite a lot of depth in here for a 20 second game and it's impressive that you managed to fit so much into it. I look forward to seeing more if you plan to continue it.

tl;dr: 📖🐊🌍🇮🇳🇬🇭🇦🇶🇨🇦🇬🇧🇫🇰🇦🇺📘

Thanks! Let me know how it goes

Good stuff! Nicely made, obviously quite high effort game. I strongly recommend skipping the intro and the and the ending after the first play through so players can get straight back into the gameplay after each attempt.

Love the idea and the execution is great. I'm still a touch unclear on how accuracy works and I didn't manage to master consistency (skill issue). Little bit fast and loose with the constraint but it's all good :D Good stuff team!
