A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

What happened? Who did it happen to? Who are you? Indeed, these questions are oft asked in everyday life, but for you the situation is quite unusual. You find yourself a solitary sphere, with no company but some bizarre floating discs. How did you arrive here? There are no memories left, perhaps you were always here, all you know is you must go, where, who knows, but go you must. This realm you find yourself in is unusual, even for someone who knows of no other realms, what with the whole memories thing. It appears bizarrely chromatic and even unfriendly, as much as an inanimate world can be. If you're still reading, use the pass-code darz in the octagonal room. It would seem this devilish dimension is composed of multiple colored areas, with a variety of accompanying themes sure to drive you inane. Best get rolling then, and good luck, you might need it.

Bingo score: 17/25 I tried, but my game engine doesn't allow external assets :P

  1. Game name is a pun, alliteration, wordplay, or includes the theme or jam name
  2. Provide extensive lore/backstory on the itch page
  3. Do not include a main menu
  4. Use Kevin McLeod music (be sure to give credit, as specified on the website)
  5. Use Kenney assets
  6. Make home-recorded sounds (don't even worry about the quality)
  7. Use disjointed art asset styles
  8. Use the default Unity skybox somehow
  9. Make a janky player character animation (I think it's pretty silly c: )
  10. Font is Comic Sans (free lookalike), and/or Arial (Unity default), other meme-y fonts will be accepted.
  11. Include a box/rock pushing puzzle
  12. Post WIP images/gifs in the Discord
  13. Hide an easter egg (relating to the jam name, theme, previous Jammy Wednesdays, Darz, whatever as long as it's recognizable)
  14. Give the exe/zip and the game different names
  15. Hint at a feature, but apologize in-game for running out of time
  16. Esc button quits the game 
  17. No failure/death screen, game just restarts
  18. Player can fall out of the world, especially when they don't expect it
  19. Game crashes (ideally not in a way that prevents winning)
  20. Post the final game submission in the Discord
  21. Include a sweet gameplay gif on the itch page
  22. Upload an untested build for a system mentioning that you don't have access to it (i.e. Mac users post a PC build, and vice versa)
  23. Submit the game within 1 hour or less of the deadline
  24. Include a cat in the game (this isn't quite a trope, I just want to see some cats)
  25. FREE SPACE - Submit to the jam

Also, I totally forgot about the game theme >_<
