Just... Make It Yourself! by real_flamingicecubegames
A game developer is really tired. So tired he gives the player the power to complete the game.
//WARNING: This game contains: Profanity, Profanity and lots of fucking profanity.
Just... Make It Yourself! is a game where you create levels using randomized chunks. Once you are finished with placing the chunks, you gain control of the player. You must then lead the player to the goal. Over the course of many levels, more hazards will be introduced. You also have a time limit. A limit that is reduced every few levels.
You have objects like the time crate, which will give the player an additional 5 seconds to finish the level, or the coin, which gives the player 100 points. Once you run out of lives, you will be scored.

@rorybabory Thank you for the feedback and for playing. I agree about the tutorial. I should've made a section where the voicelines were playing over gameplay, giving the player a visual and letting them feel the game before jumping in.
However, I feel letting the player restart a level would let them just get away with mistakes too much. I feel like in games, the player needs those game-overs to reinforce what they have done wrong.
Not saying restarts are wrong though. Maybe i'll make an option for that at some point.
If there's one addition I'd appreciate it's a "suicide" button as I often built too soon and doomed the level, but I still had to finish building it and spawn and wait/fall down to try again.
@fredspipa Thank you for the feedback. And thank you for the compliment on the voice acting. That is one aspect I was really proud of. However, there is a suicide button. It is said in the tutorial that pressing J or Left Shift would kill you. Perhaps it wasn't clear enough? I do think I should make that button work while building a level though, just so you don't have to finish all of the creation before giving up.
@frankdev Thanks for playing. Glad you liked the voice stuff, I really liked working on it.
not sure how well it fits the theme, but great jon anyways
