This game started as a simple way to blow off some steam, I just wanted to have fun with a little shooter, while my wife watched a "Planet of the Apes" movie next to me. But as I played around with the idea, I thought: what if the player was responsible for creating their own enemies? That twist felt interesting, and it reminded me of games like Tetris, Suika Game, and Mini Motorways, where the challenge grows as more things fill the screen. Having made a Suika Game clone before (Bill’s Workshop), I knew this mechanic could work.

From there, it was all about finding a story wild enough to tie everything together. A scientist, a cosmic garage, and a portal gone wrong felt like the perfect fit. What began as a quick experiment turned into a quirky, chaotic game that I’m excited to share. I hope you enjoy it, and if you have feedback, I’d love to hear it!

Can't wait to try! Three of my games are using your leaderboard. I'm definitely going for this new version :)

glad to hear! 

Same, it's been an issue for a little while, the browser makes that happen. The way around is to open the browser console with F12 and there, when you click, copy the key, you'll see it, and you can copy it from there. I hope it helps! Works for me perfectly :)

Haha! That will be tough to beat this time! Well done ;) 

Hey, 

Just wanted to share with you a new prototype I made for fun the past few days. It's inspired by games like "Getting Over It" and "Jump King". 

You are a robot who moves in a weird way and you must reach the top. 

It's a difficult game which is for a specific type of player, I think, but if you like the games I mentioned, you will probably enjoy it. 

Looking forward to hearing what you think :slight_smile:

couldn't agree more, I honestly didn't want to submit an unfinished game but I also wanted to participate and not throw those hours to the trash

I love power-ups XD! 

Fun gameplay and a good feeling. Really nice job!! 

Enjoyable plateformer and nice art! 

Really nice take on the theme and beautiful art. I wish the camera wouldn't move up when we jump but the gameplay feels overall really smooth and enjoyable. Good job!!

I saw the thumbnails, I click within seconds, I love the set up of the game, playing with toys on the desk. Really lovely! It's fun, and nicely polished. Really nice job!!!

Clever puzzle and a really nice polish, good job! 

Beautiful art! the gameplay is quite  fun, nice submission :) 

Simple and efficient fun gameplay! Cute art that matches the gameplay very well. 

I wish the dogs would have an increased awareness the more we stash trash to increase difficulty over time. 

Happy to have a high score of 42 !!!!

Really nice submission :)

Really nice art and I just love the type of games where you can change the environment. Also the polish is really on point, well done!

I appreciate a lot that you get why and how I used AI :)

So much looking forward to have the all game made by the hand of a real artist!

Hey, so the title screen and the concept art are made by Francesco Crisci. For the in-game assets, I used Midjourney, however they will be replaced by the new assets made by the artist. 

This gives a little bit of an idea of what it will look like in the end. 🙂

This is super nice to read. I'm committed to continuing the development of this game. I really enjoy making it and I hope you will like the direction it will take.

That was awesome to see you play again one of my games. Thanks a lot for the support! 

haha thanks a lot!

It's funny to me that you say that after playing this specific game, which is definitely the weirdest I ever made 😄

3399 is just mindblowing, I doubt anyone can beat this! GGWP

Thank you so much for playing our game on your channel! 
This is amazing :)

I like your suggestion of the care package, we will consider adding something like that. For now, we were thinking of adding random nice travelers who would pass by during the day asking for some special resources, if you have what they want, they will give you other resources.
Once the new weapons, maps, heroes, power-ups, items, and enemies are there, the feeling of progression will last way longer and hopefully, it will feel more like a complete game. 
Thanks again for your thoughts, very insightful to read!

Really cool to see you video!
Thank you for playing the game on your channel :)

I'm glad you liked it :)

Thanks a lot! 

I appreciate it a lot!

I'm actively working on it and I have good hopes that it will continue. I really enjoy developing it and I think it can become much bigger🤞

Hey queenfaith,
Thank you for playing Shelter Alone and making a video about it. 
It's great to get to see people play it :) 

Thank you !

Thank you so for your donation ! It means a lot to me.
And thank you about the OS toggle checkbox, I didn't pay attention.
it's done now :)
I have to check the Itch app ^^
I hope you will enjoy the game!

Really awesome simulator ( the best one I tried so far) ! Good job

Really cool game!
Nice concept and very satisfying

And really happy to get to know you and have you play our game. 
That was really cool!

haha, yeah it is a weird game, I have to admit ^^
Thanks for trying it out and for your feedback ;)
That's awesome

Salut, je voulais entrer dans le discord de la jam, mais le lien ne fonctionne pas il me semble

What a cool idea to fit the theme! The gameplay is really smooth and enjoyable. I had a visual bug when I get out of it, I saw everything on my computer screen moving haha XD 
Did anyone have that too?
Really cool entry! Good job

Very relaxing game, where anticipation plays a big role, and that's really cool I think! Good job

I really enjoyed it!

Nice idea and visually really pleasing, the rhythm aspect makes it an enjoyable experience. Great job !

The game made me really anxious and I mean it in a good way, interesting idea and nicely executed! I'm amazed by the visuals, I have no idea how you do that. Nice entry ;)

Good idea to play with the gas as a physical object that represents the risk!
It was fun to play and I think it was nicely polished for the short amount of time, well done
