Sadness and Joy
Controls: WAD or Arrow keys, E or Shift for special ability, (Push up to travel through doors)
This game was made for the 2024 Pirate Software Game Jam 14.
Help stop The Sadness Monster from spreading sadness by spreading joy! Dance in front of a boombox to charge up your Joy Meter. When your Joy Meter is fully charged activate your Joy Ability by pressing E or Shift. Run past as many villagers as you can to make them happy! You only have 10 seconds before you need to charge your Joy Meter again. Try to make everyone happy before the countdown ends. (Hint: Is there someone else besides the villagers you can make happy?)

This is an amazing game, I have never played anything in this art style it truly is special
The art is pleasing. The game was simple but nailed the theme. I love the aesthetic of puppetry meets photogrammetry.
Nice game, love the puppets
What a creative game! It's such an interesting idea to use puppetry for the characters, really great work!
Thanks so much! It was a lot of work. I hope people get a kick out of it.
