You, The People!

An entry to the 2021 SAAM Game Jam Arcade!

You, The People! Is a game about the role of the individual and the community in creation and is a critique of the "Great Man" theory of history.  Though there certainly are "Great Men", people who have extremely innovative or influential ideas, without support or broader action within a society ideas stay entirely theoretical and irrelevant. 

What good is the Mona Lisa if no one ever gets to experience it?

To explore this, I've created 5 levels from throughout recorded history with a challenging twist on the traditional limited move puzzle system.

Controls

Arrow keys - Move straight in one direction.

"R" - Restart the level

"Z" - Skip the level (I'd much rather you skip a level and finish the game than get stuck and give up!)

Enjoy the game? Hate it with a burning passion? Let me know by commenting!

I'm bound to make more similar stuff in the future so if you like what you see, feel free to follow my itch.io page!
