Very nice pixel art! I would suggest including controls at the start of your game for new players even if they were basic. The movement for the player was a bit sluggish especially outside. Maybe a run option to speed up? It could also have some kind of impact on your overall Headache meter. The player sprite also jitters when moving diagonally.
I like the overall theme of going outside and doing activities to cure a late night gaming session hangover. I do really enjoy taking walks myself when I'm feeling crummy. The only option in the game right now seems to be fishing and there is very little interaction. A few additional activities with additional gameplay mechanics or minigames would be interesting.
Also being killed by the car felt really out of place given the overall tone and aesthetic. The "music" that plays is very grating and nightmarish!
The overall execution could use some work but I really like the approach you took to the theme!
You made this in gamemakerstudio 2!!!
Oh trust me when I say this, this is the first game I'm playing from the jam and it definitely cured my headache. I had a funny moment when I was finished fishing and was going towards my home looking at the headache meter and how I now had a negative headache, smiling and ran straight into the car XD. The music fits the gameplay well. Short and crisp, enjoyed it :)
Hey thanks. Glad you finished the game. I was hoping no one would notice the negative headache but hahha I decided to keep it thinking it should be an Easter egg to detect who actually finished my game. Now I believe you :)
haha nice game!
I really like this game, But it would've been better if you made the story a bit longer.
Hey thanks for playing. I'm terrible at story making :)
Hi, the game really needs checkpoints and the story should be bigger. But well done and really nice game.
Hey thanks. Yeah not very informative. It's always easy to underestimate how RPGs can get out of hand especially when writing from scratch.
