Green Mike's VHS
Your name is Green Mike and people pay you green paper to deliver REAL earth movies to different planets.
Unfortunately it's not always clear what your clients want due to all that pesky wormhole signal interference.
But the good news is that the foolish humans failed to make enemy ai so you have the entire defunct movie rental/empty toy store to yourself!
Instructions:
Walk around Blockblaster and try to find the exact movies your clients want. Hold right click to enter focus mode and click on a vhs tape to inspect it.
When you're ready to ship, place them into the egg shaped delivery vessel to complete the intergalactic vhs delivery.

This was a lot of fun! I played on gamepad and thoroughly enjoyed the movement jank XD felt like a fun little spin on the video store sims that have been coming out lately. The movie names were also funny, and I thought the telekinesis mechanic was cool! Well done! c:

Very funny game! It was a brave idea to use motion capture and i think you nailed it for the jam. Great work!

I read the script and looked at the screenshots of the game, and it really is a great idea. I was sad that I couldn't play it :( When I started the game, the screen froze on the image of the alien in the T-pose. I saw that you mentioned this might happen, but I waited 10 minutes and it didn't work. Anyway, I liked the idea.
If you could rate my game, I’d appreciate it

@valb-soares thanks for trying, but sorry about the freeze. If you're willing to try again, it can be fixed with the launch option:
--mm_multiThreadedInitialization 0
same as the cheat codes I described above.

Ho ho ho, Santa Claus has arrived!
@ale Ah, I added that line of code you mentioned and the game opened.
Now, about the gameplay: at the beginning, everything goes well. I walk around the room, pick up the presents, use telekinesis to throw them, but at that moment the camera shakes constantly, making the game impossible... So I thought it might be the part where I throw the presents, so I decided not to throw them. Then, hiding, I slowly passed the first enemy and went to the cassette tapes. When I picked up the right tape and tried to throw it into the capsule, the camera bug happened again :(
I think that was the only problem, but overall, the game works and the idea is good. Congratulations!

Dropping a long over due comment here. Really appreciate you giving me the opportunity to play this game on stream.
My thoughts are shared in the VOD. Hope we see you back for LD60. ✌

COOL GAME!!!

The alien runs very funny, but I still don’t understand where they are supposed to run to.

Funny ahh game.:alien:
Sound effects were spot on. The camera was a bit wonky though.

Definitely have not played anything similar to this before, which is good! Or maybe the object throwing reminded me a bit of Control’s gameplay. Quite difficult, especially with couple of bugs I encountered. While impressive maybe the controls for throwing could be simplified? Would suit the quick pace better. Use of motion capture is very cool and I can believe that the process of making the animations must have been interesting :)
LDJam user 4307347 May 2026, 23:41
i like the use of the blender monkey!

The concept is solid. I had a hard time controlling this one though. I tired having extras on me to throw at the farmers, but trying to grab one to throw while juking around was a downright pain.

Didn't expect mocap tech to be used in a jam, very cool! Loved the whacky vibe of the game (and the interesting movie titles).
The controls felt somewhat unresponsive, its close though, I liked the life-like alien motions! I imagine that takes a lot of time tinkering with captures to get it to feel right.
Curious to see a mocapped alien parkour game next time, haha.

Launch the game with the following options to enable some cheats:
* `--cheat_invisible 1`: enemies can't see you
* `--cheat_infiniteInventory 1`: no limit to how many items you can hold
* `--cheat_showGoals 1`: draw arrows on the video tapes you need
If you're on Windows, open powershell or cmd.exe, and launch the game like:
```
CD path\to\game\folder
.\LD59.GameLauncher.exe --cheat_invisible 1 --cheat_infiniteInventory 1 --cheat_showGoals 1
```
Also, you can disable fullscreen with `--r_fullscreen 0`
