Oh man, I wish your game was on the browser so that more people would play it and I got to read more letters, I think I only found from 3 different people. Probably from you guys. I had fun just reading the few ones I found from you, so I can only imagine how cool it would be if there were tons of them. I really liked that I get to choose a frog as my character and that the dog picked up my bottle and put it in the water. The only problem I see is that after you send 2 bottles and read a couple, there is nothing else I feel like doing, maybe you did this on purpose to make it simply a short break to reflect on really interesting questions and chill with the music. Nice Game, I see it as being good for mental health, so in my opinion, you accomplished the goal of this jam.
PS: The music might be a little too fast, maybe a slower bpm would fit the slow and relaxed nature of your game better.
Thanks for the kind comment! I REALLY tried to get WebGL working, but it was a nightmare of SSL certificates with a web server. The plan was to expand a lot on the journaling aspect and then add random things to do around the island, but you know how it goes with game jams :)
And yea it's a shame that more people aren't playing - the server can only send what messages it has so it uses repeat messages if there aren't more.
I def agree with you on the music - gotta find a musician to work with for the next jam
Cool concept of running into a little piece of someone else's world and writing down yours, I would just add some more activities to make it a little more fun besides the main concept, it can get old very quickly.
