Story

You're a crazy scientist who doesn't like how loudy your city became recently, as the lockdown has's been ended. People flooded the street and shouting, because... well, just because they are allowed to.

In such a cacaphony you cannot concentrate on your project, so you decided to find and dust your old hypnotizer tool, go through the city and hypnotize everyone you can.

Obviously, it's not legal to do, so soon the police will catch you.
Accomplish your goal and decrease the city's noise to 40 decibel before they get you.

About the Author and the Game

I’m mudlee, father of one and a hobbist game dev. This is my 6th jam, 2nd LD.

This time I decided to leave Unity behind, and dream a big: "I'm gonna use LibGDX!". Boy, Saturday evening, I was still writing an A* algorithm, based on a 7 years old article. Interestingly, I had to do and code way more in LibGDX than in Unity, but still, this game is my best I've ever made.

I used:

- LibGDX
- Aseprite
- Gimp
- LMMS
- IntelliJ Idea Community Edition
- Ubuntu!
