The idea

"Is it possible to make a game that leaves a memorable impression within a single minute of gameplay?" This was the game jam's initial question and we asked ourselves the same question and which emotion or thought we could plant in a user's mind to keep this game stuck in their head.

This game was developed for the One Minute Jam.
The gameplay lasts one minute only (approximately).

Attention!

If you want to try out if this idea works out for you, don't continue reading. Play the game first and come back :)

The game (spoilert alert!)

Did anyone mention "memorable impression"? Well we went for frustration on this one.

Ever wanted to adopt a pet? Then maybe you know all the preparations; the anticipation. Finally you meet your forever friend, give him a name and watch his little tail wagging. And then somebody enters the room, takes him home and you're a forever loser...

This is my first completed game (and my first game jam). It was developed in JavaScript with PhaserJS.

So what do you think? Did it leave you with any kind of emotion?
