Are you a true bro?

Here's my entry to the 2014 Gender Jam. The purpose of the jam was to make a game based on your personal experiences with gender.

Collect things to balance your self respect with the respect of your bros! Which is more important to you?

I don't really know how I feel about it, to be honest. I don't think it says what I wanted it to say very well, and in the end it didn't end really end up that close to any personal experiences I've actually had. But, it's the first time I've ever made a game with a...for lack of a better term..."message," and it's the first time I've made a game anywhere near autobiographical, so I still count it as a success, at least as a learning experience. Maybe I'll write more about it later.

Here are some screenshots:

Awesome game. I liked the graphics of the game, they look so real, maybe you used vector graphics or something? Anyways, it is really hard to dodge things you don't want to pick

Thanks! Yeah, they're vector graphics. I used Inkscape. It's supposed to be kind of hard, but I kept tweaking the difficulty right up until the end, it basically swung back and forth between "too easy" and "too hard" so maybe it was a little closer to the second when I finally released.
