This first-of-its-kind game is all about the fascinating process of learning a "new language". It inviting players to master communication from scratch. Dive into the challenge of deciphering a completely new linguistic system and unlock the secrets of language in a fun, interactive way!
If you were a tiny hamster🐭 who could only use emojis 😂 to talk to humans, could you survive their crazy tests? Oh, did we mention? You’ll also face scientific experiments along the way! Each round is different with unpredictable scientists powered by local LLM 🤖.
Share your funniest emoji moments and surprises below! 🎉
The Story
You’re just a tiny lab mouse 🐭 with a big problem: the scientists 🥼 have strapped a SMART helmet on you, hoping you’d become the next genius of rodent-kind 🧠. The catch? You can only communicate using simple emojis! 😂 Can you charm the lab staff, dodge their bizarre tests, and help them win the coveted 🏆 "Notable Nobel" (or… something close enough)? 🧬
🎮 How to Play
WASD to move, mouse 🖱️ to click.
Every interaction zaps ⚡ your tiny brainpower 🧠 and drains your hunger bar 🍽️—after all, you’re just a mouse, and “words” are a bit too advanced. Use your chances wisely! 😉
Watch out for the timer and don't annoy the big creatures, while taking care of your hunger and health.

We designed the symbols to be abstract, and you’ll need to learn their meanings by interacting with the NPC. 😊
I do think this was a great game with some cool LLM incorporation that really nailed the theme! It might've been to the rest of the game's detriment that the LLM as explored through emojis was so fascinating- the clock and the food and health all felt like distractions from the concept puzzle.
yes, some more polishing and balancing would make it more stable.
Pros:
- Creative idea: Controlling a mouse that interacts through emojis is quirky and fresh.
- Humor: The witty scientist dialogue adds a lot of charm.
- Engaging mechanics: Using emoji combinations to solve puzzles keeps the gameplay interesting.
Cons:
- Confusing interface: The emoji system might be tricky to understand at first.
- Balance: Humor should complement, not overshadow, the gameplay.
Conclusion:
A funny and original game with a clever communication mechanic, perfect for players who enjoy lighthearted challenges.
@hangovergames yes! there is a color emoji looks like this! When you press it will send a random color trigger word to the researcher

One thing I struggled with was how long it took to get the AI to say something back / they would finish their previous sentence when I wanted to just push forward and it just resulted in me queuing up their responses.
Great job though~!
Here, we play as "Tiny Creatures," which is almost the opposite of what most people would think. Yet, your implementation is so reasonable and just right.
Your judicious use of LLM has made the game more chaotic and interesting. I think we've finally seen a game that doesn't simply use LLM to generate a variety of artistic resources, but instead, you've cleverly integrated the "dehumanized" aspect of LLM into the gameplay. That's really fantastic!
Despite all these constraints, you've managed to create many interesting interactions and levels, which is simply astonishing. I'd say you might just be the star of this Jam in my heart!
Of course, if you have the time, I hope you can also check out our game~
