this is such a cool idea for a game, perfect for a jam. i really must admire the originality of this one, i don't think i've really seen anything like it before. at first i thought the game was bugged before the player mentioned they were walking backwards lol, it was nice and subtle at first. only suggestion i really have is to play the sounds, or at least the players sounds in reverse, that could add something really cool to the game i think.

What do you like about your game?
I am apparently not absolutely horrible at pixel art, and I wrote the whole thing in C++ / Raylib

Really cool game, I really like the introduction of the game and story. The pixelart was really great and the gameplay loop is really fun and engaging (and i found out i have a worse memory than i thought ;-;) Great game :D

Anomaly 5010 (Acerola Jam 0)I liked memory loss theme, remembering way(with game) and story style :)
Maybe added some puzzle and dialog for intraction. Would add nice background music.

Stranger DimensionsHi buddy, I didn't open this game. Is there anything I need to install ?
I get an error this libraries "libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, libstc++-6.dll."
I tried on Windows 11.

Stranger DimensionsSorry about that, I forgot to compile statically. I copied all the dll dependencies to this zip https://github.com/Bowserinator/acerola-gamejam-entry/raw/master/dlls.zip just extract so they are in the same folder as the game exe, please let me know if this fixes it :)
