Nice job!

Thank you!

good work on your first published game!

there is an interesting premise here. when I saw the intro I thought this was gonna be a story driven game on a timer and hence I had low expectations, so I gotta say I was pleasantly surprised that the decaying aspect requires strategy rather than speed

however, the scale of the world together with the speed of the character seemed to kinda artificially stretch the play time

anyway, again, nice work

cheers

Thank you very much!

And yeah, I feel it too. I initially wanted to do a lot more with maps, but I took too long trying to figure out how to make dialogue work. Either way, I appreciate your feedback!

Cool art and interesting story. Good job on starting your first game! With more time I'm sure it would've become a great experience! Keep going!

Developer(+1)

I appreciate it! I plan on revisiting this project once the GMTK jam is over!

Good story, innovative. It would have been nice to have some sounds effects and to have a more accurate way of seeing the decay, so that we could strategize how much we can decay before performing an action (like 1 decay doesnt anger the dog, but 2 decay already does).

Cool story, i liked it. Would have been cool if there was more stuff to do, and if it had soundeffects :3

I agree! I initially wanted to add more, but I was low on time. Still, thank you for your input!

I like it, apart from the animation which I have taken in my head as she is just a roller skater. cruzing.

Developer

Lol, thank you for playing! And yeah, didn't get around to animation this time around, but I'll get there next time!

That's a nice step you've taken: releasing a game to a public is an important milestone! I should say, that I really like that you have side characters/bg elements to compliment the story. And don't worry, 48 hour jams are a challenge for a reason and you did fine. Hope you won't get discouraged and be too harsh on yourself! Good job!

Developer

Thank you a ton! For the compliments and encouragement. I absolutely didn't get discouraged though, I think I'll work on this some more once the voting is done. It's been fun! ^^

Nice game, I really liked the story and the writing was really good, well done!

The game works just fine, only "bug" I encountered is that there is no barrier in the very right, so you can walk on the black backgroung (if you manage to avoid the dog) but that's a small issue. Good job on your first game, good luck on your next ones!

Developer

Thank you so much! And thanks for pointing that one out. Originally I had intended to make the game a bit bigger, but as the clock ticked down, I overlooked sealing up that exit.


Thanks again! ^_^

Developer

Literally my first game ever published. If the download doesn't work please let me know.
