Hit the full screen button in the bottom right when the game begins!

Thank you so much for playing :)

Really cool game, cant really think of any improvements other than making clearer potentially what the green rings red rings and such mean in the social media mini game. Super fun regardless though

It lack some finishing touch (the lack of sound effect feel strange) but the concept in itself is fun and addicting

A couple of really nice simple mini games!

I like how idea matches the realisation in a very satisfying way!
Artstyle nicely complements the idea, it’s simple and stylish.

Instructions are not very clear, so adding more supporting informating would improve the experience of playing, in my opinion. Text is sometimes hard to read.

The social media game wasn't super clear about how it works, but other than that I really liked it! The graphics are perfect for the game, and it's a super unique take on the theme. Good job!

The Graphics were really good, and good animation and transitioning, would be better to have a faster movement speed on the basket minigame

Good game, with some great art design.
I think some sound effects would add a lot to this game.
Relevant theme, nice job!

Very educational, now I know what those data harvesters do with my phone. A cute little game, some audio could do it wonders. I really liked the background visuals, very polished and immersive.

(The embed does not seem to work btw.)

**All hail the almighty godot icon!**

Anyway, cool concept and nice take on the theme!

The concept is good and the art looks clean and nice!

the only downsides are that the data bucket seemed a bit hard to move and i was a bit confused at first about what to do on the peggle/flipper one. and the lack of sound too, but don't worry i remember that it is a jam game and one can't do everything!

happy to give you your 20th rating :)

Cool idea I think. It was a bit unclear for me what to do in the beginning as the screens kept changing without any indication of your goal. I would suggest moving the tutorial text in the beginning of the game instead of the end. Some sounds or music would make it more enjoyable too. Anyways I liked the visuals and the minigames worked pretty well too. A solid entry I'd say.

Neat idea. Maybe I didn't understand it but the block breaker section did not always seem possible to not lose points.

Loved the concept -- seemed like a nod to The Age of Surveillance Capitalism by Shoshana Zuboff. I was frantically trying to get those green texts in my basket, and trying to read them at the same time. While the basket was sometimes hard to control, I think that added to the desperate feeling of collecting all that sweet sweet data.

Cool idea! The mini games made fun after I understood that you have to only ever collect the green stuff. I have to say for me it was a bit too hectic (I understand that should probably mimic the way people use their phones) probably because the switch between games is so abrupt. Still great entry, I think some simple sound effects would make the game even more immersive!

Great game with an intersting concept! A little explanation before starting would be nice to know that you have to collect a specific color, I only understood what to do after I lost the first round. And the cannon mode ends very abruptly, which might be by design, but it was a bit ooff throwing. Seeing this game polished, with some sound and maybe more minigames would be great!
