I really like the game, very imersive and fun to play. One of the ones I've had the most fun so far.

Congrats :))

Developer

Thanks for playing and giving feedback! It means a lot to me! ^^

Fun experience, even though I had to exit the game a couple of times, thereby resetting it and having to go through the unskipable beginning bit, the voice acting didn't line up with the words on screen, such as "the reason so many games are broke". But overall really cool!

Developer

Thanks for playing and giving feedback! ^^
What happened that made you reset the game? I'm sorry about this, I tested this game a lot of times, but some bugs didn't occur to me.
I'm glad you liked it!

Submitted

Well, first I left a comment on how I was stuck in an infinite death loop, then I edited that comment forgetting it would take me to a different page making me restart again. Also, at one point in the music section the music note just stopped moving indefinitely and I was able to win easily as it didn't send anything down. Also also somehow I was able to get attacked by bugs in the boss section of the first bit which made some overlapping dialogue happen.

Developer

Omg, what a mess! I didn't predict the possibility of overlapping dialogue! I'll take a look on these bugs after the jam is over. Thanks for telling me! =)

Nice!  I was so much of a spammer in the last round there.   No way I was about to lose.  But I can't tell which ending it is lol.  Awesome job in voice acting and keeping an interesting progression.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and giving feedback! It means a lot to me! ^^
If you got the chest by the end of the game, you got the good ending XD
I'm glad you liked it!

This is a great game! I love the development of a meta-narrative in game form. Parts were a bit tough to play (sound level), but altogether a brilliant and creative entry!

I really, really enjoyed this. The meta humor, the playfulness of the narrator, and the way you introduced several different 'gamejam games' into the fabric of this big overarching story is really impressive. A lot of it mirrors thoughts I had with my own game!

Great work, all around! Narrative games are awesome.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and for the nice feedback. It means a lot for me!
This was my first time trying to make a narrative game, I had no idea of the outcome of this experience. Having my players imersed in the story and relating themselves with some parts of this game makes me feel like I've accomplished my objective with this work! This really encourages me to make more of these games, it was so fun bring this idea to life! 
I'm really glad you liked it. ^^

This short entry really was a nice experience. Some of the assets were a little bit unpolished, but I think that overall the creativity, variety, and overall journey (funny enough) culminated into a great experience. Please never stop making games!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you so much for playing and giving feedback! It means a lot to me! ^^
I wanted to give this game more polishing, but I was out of time... But I'm glad you liked it!
And don't worry, I'll never top making games. It's my passion and my job!

Submitted(+2)

Please more of these games. It was amazing, the narration was great. I loved it. Phenomenal Story, great concept. Keep it up!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you so much for playing and giving feedback! It means a lot to me! ^^
I'll definitively make more narrative games! This was my first time trying it, and it was really fun!
I'm glad you liked it!

haha gave me a laugh when you were asked to pick a skill  xD I really tried to select with the mouse, wasd and arrow keys and nothing worked! And the narrative was getting more and more annoyed that I didn't select.
Haha well done! :)

Developer(+2)

If I had you trying to follow the narrator's instructions, my mission was accomplished XD

I like this game, it's really fun. I just found one little bug, but nothing that could stop me playing. I read the devlog too ^^'

Congratulations on your entry for the gamejam ;)

Developer(+2)

Thanks for playing and giving feedback! It means a lot to me! And thanks for reading my suffering in the devlog XD
Would you mind telling me what the bug was?

(+1)

It's a little difficult to explain but I will try XD ..
When the box receive jumping abilities, if you're below a platform and jump to it, you can jump so high if you press Space again right after land on the platform. Actually I don't know if this is intentional or it's a bug XD .. But it's a nice game..

Developer(+2)

Yeah, that was a bug XD
I had some troubles programming the physics. This used to happen all the time, I thought that I fixed it, but I see I didn't. Fortunately it's not a major bug.
Thanks again! ^^

Submitted(+2)

Really good narrative, fits the theme well, and the ending is very fitting. I would love to see more of this :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and giving feedback! ^^
I don't know if I'll keep working in this game specifically, but my friend loved doing the voice acting, so I'll definitively make more story driven games!

Submitted(+2)

Holy cow, this game is amazing, the story, the visuals, everything about the game is great! Awesome job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and giving feedback!
It means a lot to me, and I'm glad you like it! ^^

This is amazing! The story is the best out of any game I've played so far, the gameplay works well for every part and BOI IS THAT A SUPER HEXAGON I SEE??? Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!!! I'm really glad to hear that! ^^
And yup, thats a super hexagon that at least doesn't leaves you feeling dizzy XDD

I like how to the game starts in a Tale tale game kind of the voice acting is really good but i just got stuck on the boy or girl selection i couldn't pick any of them :( but from what i've seen so far it's amazing :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing and givind feedback! 

I should've put some comand list in this part... To select you need to press "Z". If it was not working, it's a bug I didn't know about.

And I'm glad you enjoyed it! 

Submitted(+2)

You've put so much into one game! The voice acting was amazing as well! But the game ended after I lost the Super Hexagon level, a bug?

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! ^^
This week was so crazy, I still can't believe I managed to finish this project in time XD
And I'm sure my friend who did the voice will be very pleased with your comment!
The Super Hexagon level leads you to one of two endings. I didn't have time to finish this part properly, but you got the bad ending.
I hope you enjoyed it!
