Great colors! But I do not want to think about finals!  I kind of want a sandwich now.  Creative and enjoy the inclusion of personal experience.

It's always a great day to be there for your friends! I love how you made this the central plot of your game. It's a really simple but sweet concept. The colors you chose were really fun, and I know we saw it during the playground sessions, but I'm still not over how gorgeous that tree is. That dream sequence was so so sick. Absolutely blew my mind. The only thing is that it felt like maybe that belonged in a different game. It was a strong component it just felt almost like a tangent in this story if that makes sense. Good job!

I liked the sandwich making (and the use of multiple scenes to highlight ingredients helped guide me along), but I LOVED the dream sequence work at the end

I think I got soft locked after failing to slice an apple, I'll come back to it later. The house level/outside has a great structure to it, and I can only imagine all the different room transitions it took to make those kitchen scenes.

Okay, very glad that I revisited this, the dream sequence was great!  I also noticed how the art style is very abstract but I had no trouble interpreting it at all. The "?"s as unseen blocks was interesting.

thanks! yeah, it's a nightmares worth of near-duplicate rooms and conditionals. Strange with the apple slicing...Thanks for playing again to get to the payoff!
