“You are the weapon” - Pirate Software Game Jam 16 theme
We ask, what is a weapon in it’s base existence? The conclusion we come to is that, regardless of it’s form, a weapon is tool used to gain influence over another; oftentimes unwillingly. Whether this is a hunter putting down their prey, a country controlling the actions of another, or a deterrent used to protect oneself.
If you are the weapon, what are you? Sure, a sentient sword fits the literal phrasing, but what kind of person “thinks” of themselves as a weapon? Someone self-righteous imposing their beliefs on others? A person of higher station forcing those they see of a lower standing to do their bidding under threat and duress? Someone who’s mere presence strikes a sense of unease into those around them? All of these are apt descriptions of a weapon personified and a specific kind of person comes to mind that fits those criteria: A “Karen”.

This was fun. I liked the theme of being a Karen in a supermarket. I kind of wish the scream was louder, but this was overall a good time👍🏽
Special shout out to anonalpa
This game was so awesome to look at. Good job with the music and premise. Gameplay was very easy to understand. I would suggest some cool sfx when your power is activated as well as feedback sfx when you pick up items or bump into another customer. Nice Jay and Silent Bob. :) Overall great game with lots of potential for like a lot of levels and maybe even an infinite mode. Great job and entry ya'll!
