  • This is a great jam game. Short and to the point with humor and an interesting premise and style. It's very memorable. Well done.
  • What a great premise, and the theme allows for a lot of funny interactions. Too bad it's very short, I'd have loved more. I hope Joshbob gets a longer and more polished adventrure soon!
  • While the art is simple it achieves what it sets out for and the game perfectly fit with the theme to the point that even I felt like a stranger in a strange land. Excellent work and great fun

Awesome entry. I really like the pixel art and how some objects pixels are bending or chopped. Stylish.

Thanks! Could you believe that I did the uneven lines because I thought it would be quicker?

It works so well, love the television and the doors, in a weird world like the goblin house it's perfect.

Hahaha, short but not short of humour or imagination!

This is so funny! Goes to show you don't need fancy stuff to tell a good story! Keep up the good work!

Thanks! Yeah, I knew going in that I couldn't put in too much time. So I had to settle for a tiny scope and I actually cut a further third off  it hahaha
