around me, there is violence

made in about ~5 days for 'man in the moon' bitsy jam

you play a little deer who can climb trees and decides to leave a dying earth behind to go to the moon.

there is also a little majora's mask-esque trading quest where you give an item to a character at each tree level until you reach the moon. not necessary to complete the game, but a bit of fun :)

tips:

rotate the world often in order to find objects/characters and help you move around. the trading quest begins on the very first level.

if you find yourself disoriented, rotate the world until the ladder is in the bottom right corner and all your directions should make sense again.

if playing on a phone, tap/hold in the white space to advance/move character. tap and hold in game window to rotate the world. this game is not optimized for phone though and may encounter bugs. play on your computer for the best experience!

some backstory: having not released a game since 2021 (!!!!) and drowning in WIP projects in nearly every engine imaginable, i wanted to join a game jam and quickly bust something out. i'd been wanting to use bitsy for a long time, but i'd also been learning 3D and wanted to make a 3D game. lo and behold...bitsy 3D exists! many many thanks to its creators and adam, the original bitsy creator.

all art/writing/programming etc by me. there is no sound. NO AI WHATSOEVER WAS USED. pls don't use ai.
