crypet

This was a game inspired by discussion in the jam channel before the jam. Most of the idea was from one "Big Sir".

The premise, not conveyed in this sketch, is that you are taking care of some sort of small defenseless animal whose tears are extremely valuable. The creature is both physically and emotionally fragile. "Winning" requires getting ten tears before the creature dies of malnutrition or heartbreak. This may or may not be possible to do consistently.

This game runs on PICO-8.
