Technical part

Being a puzzle game mainly based on the interface, i was scared of how much i should say or wich words to use, because puzzles can be boring wether if they are too simple or too confusing, so i took advantage of having a whole week instead of two days for this jam so i could playtest, and it was so useful. This time i also decided to make only Windows versions, because WebGL has some limitations that I personally don´t know how to surpass such as using clipboard, some audio things, and little details that i wanted to do but are not possible, so i´ll keep trying to build my games for WebGL, but if something doesn´t work as intended, i will just stick to Windows.

This month i wanted to join Kenney´s jam and of course GMTK jam, but i couldn´t participate for personal reasons, so i joined to the first jam i could find, butin the end it turned out to be a great jam, so chill because of the 7 day period instead of the usual 2, and i personally liked the limitation, so it was perfect. The gameplay idea was heavily inspired by an awesome mobile game called Imagzle (check it out if you enjoy The Great Filter), and the narrative part was inspired by Interstellar and of course the theme of "Life".
