A very interesting looking game, not sure what happened i went into a room with a bannana, and egg and a bookcase and the main character turned into an eyeball, I tried to return to the room previous and the eye disappeared and i was blocked off screen.
I liked the music and the art style. I read you had time difficulties, but what you have made is really good, this definitely has potential.
This was super interesting and I really liked the art -especially the characters and the colour palette. With the added music and dialogue, it was definitely a whimsical experience :) I didn't get very far however as I wasn't sure where else to go after picking up some leaves -that may just be a skill issue thing on my end though. I'll have to try it again :)
Man, I had a trip here! Despite the wickedness of the screen wideness, there's some whimsical bedlam happening in your game, which attracts a lot, nevertheless. The tunes are quite weird and accord to the game's attitude. This moving eye experience is... so abstract). Fun and quite ironic creation.
This was truly a unique experience.
I had a few difficulties playing the game because the resolution is too high and I couldn't see the whole screen at once. But that could just be a problem on my part.
I have to admit that I was quite lost at the story. I had no clue what was going on. If you ever revisit the game, maybe explaining the story a bit more would be a good start. The puzzles are well telegraphed though. Even in my state of confusion, I knew what I had to do. Just not where to use the information. I stumbled into the right place more or less by accident.
The music doesn't loop, but I'm not sure if that's a bug/oversight or a design choice. And Tor literally loses his head when he's standing in front of the bar. You've probably noticed that already :)
The music is fitting and I absolutely love your character design. They have so much personality. Very memorable. The "look closer at things" menu with the eyeball is a fun idea too. Really unique.
TLDR: I have no idea what happened, but I enjoyed the ride. :))
Sorry I was unable to get very far. The game crashed after trying to leave the drinks menu. I am unsure if there is a downloadable version, but I was playing on web. The story was weird, but interesting, and I wish I could have finished it. There may be a few movement issues, but hard to track down exactly what or recreate it, but when I moved on a bunch of titles eventually the character did some weird movement and then went to the last tile.
thanks for playing and for the feedback! This is only a web game so far. I will see if I can figure out the crash or create some kind of bug reporting. I'm experimenting at creating my own game engine and this is my first time testing it with anyone else.
Very nice looking style. It does look a little unfinished in some places (of course, it was done in the shortest of times!). Interesting choice of presentation for the drinks menu!
Thanks for the feedback! I didn't have a lot of polish time but it was definitely fun to make 😁
Yeah, I also understimated the polish time for our entry. I guess you could always do with one more day, right? Oh well, lesson well learned!
Cool looking character-style. The music was also good and dialogue was on point. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
