I love this style! An extra plus for the cats :)
Glad you dig the cats! They were the most fun to do :D
Good game and beatiful art, but the control is weird.
Hey! Yea, I hope to work on the controls better after the jam is over. Thankyou for checking out my game!
The art style is just wow, I can see that you've made some effort for this game, really good job. An improvement that I see, if you can make it, if you play from PC, to allow the player to interact using a mouse, it would be such a game changer. Good job!
Hey! Thank you very much for checking this game out - yea I really spent alot of time drawing and working on the code (which I'm bad at because I'm not trained in this, just doing some trial and error stuff) Based on the current game engine for the gameboy, it seems mouse interaction is not available unfortunately.
Great art! The atmosphere of the texts and closeups really set a dreary dark mood. I’m not sure if the audio plays correctly on the browser version? There’s a constant, very disruptive audio loop that plays. If it’s meant to be rain, I think something less abrasive would help sell the ambience more.
Hello! Thanks for your feedback, yea I need to work on the audio/music more. It was just what I could find off as free assets, I hope to produce a more polished version of the game with better sounds that could enhance this dark dreary mood in game.
I only had a few minutes to look at this, but I love the feel and the mood. I got an immediate sense of dread from the text messages. Art style is great. I can't wait to dig into this depressing day. I am sure everything will work out great.
Hey! Thank you very much, I'm reallyglad to hear that you got the mood and vibe immediately from the text and graphics. It was challenging to execute with the limitations on the graphics and gameboy specs.
Jolly, moody and a great nostalgia trip. Really loved the vibe, the graphics!
Hello! Thank you very much for your kind words. Really glad you dig the vibe
Really neat, great art! I found the rain noise really grating personally, and the controls were a little annoying but I get the limitations. Not sure if meeting my end in the basement was all there was, which was a pretty cool moment, but I also don’t know if there was anything I did that was successful or meaningful on the way? felt very little agency, which maybe is the point?
Thanks for checking my game out. You're right about the little agency - it's only part 1. I haven't even really gotten to the meat of things. Also, I ran out of time to implement a few different choices the player could make in part 1. This will be rectified in my update after the jam is over. Hope you'll check it out again then.
Great aesthetics and pixel art!
Thank you!
Really amazing, just great! I have no idea how you were able to do so much in so little time!
Hello! Thank you for checking it out - I actually didn't finish the game at all. There are still some buggy controls, not very good sounds and music, and the story is incomplete! I hope you'll check it out again later after I've completed it (we can update it now anyways because the jam isn't over :)
Nevertheless, thank you for playing
Visually really well made. I was having issues moving past the 2 messages screen, my cursor wouldnt stop where i was supposed to click I dont think. From what the other comments are saying along with what I saw, this game looks really promising
Hey! Thanks for liking the visuals, I spent alot of time on them. As for moving around, there is only keyboard support, no mouse. And it was made with the gameboy in mind, so if you have a gameboy emulator, or a gameboy flashcart, you'd be able to play it on those things.
style is definitely exactly what I myself aspire to, very cool!
it lacks some kind of impact when clicking, you could change the cursor or some kind of click sound, it doesn't quite read the click.
I'll finish your game later
Hey! Thanks for trying my game out, and good idea about adding some sound effects to indicate an option has been selected, just to give some feedback. I'll incorporate it when we can update our game on itch. I'm still working on the entire full game because I ran out of time to do so for the jam, so hopefully when you check back later, it'll be the full game.
very interesting narrative mechanics I had never seen in a gameboy game. I like the sound effects it really makes you feel the retro vibes in a very realistic fashion.
Hey! Yea, most gameboy games don't seem to present their games in this fashion, I was taking a chance with it to see how it might work out. Thanks for the encouragement :)
the sounds are a bit too much high but still cool, love the dinamic of movement like in a retrò adventure game, and the art style is cool, nice ambient with colors,
I invite you to play my game and give me some feedback as well ^^
hello! Thank you very much for playing my game. I'm really glad you dig the retro vibes.
