What is this game?
Some friends invited you to the local festival, but you don't really like crowds! Avoid strangers, find your friends, then find a place where you can enjoy the festival in peace.
How to play?
Walk through the festival using the arrow keys.
If you get too close to strangers, you will get anxious, and your energy bar goes down. It recovers when you get some space for yourself.
If you get close to one of your three friends, they will follow you. After you find your three friends, find a peaceful place in the festival to win the game.
But how fast can you win?
Why this game exists?
This game was created for the PICOJAM 2025. The theme was "Matsuri", and "Melting".
I did the programming and game design. Cornet Theory did the sounds, music, graphics and level design.
Our idea was to make a game that represented the anxious feeling of being in a crowded place.
It's interesting how the message this game wants to convey is directly reflected in the game's interesting rules.
Beautiful game! So creative! I found my 3 friends :) but then I didn't know what to do, I went to different parts of the map were there where no "enemies" but the game didn't finish
Thank you all for the comments!
There is one specific area of the map that counts as the "goal", unfortunately, I did not have enough time to make that part clearer.
Hint: You should be looking for a spinning thing, like the tutorial messages.
