I really like the paintings / artwork! :)
The art is really nice and the story was good! I enjoyed it :)
We are glad that you enjoyed our game! :) Thanks for your feedback!
Echoing others, it was a surprising in-depth and somewhat dark story - I didn't expect it to pack such a punch!
It is a very nice demo, I am glad to see that y'all plan to continue development! The ending is pretty neat and I think it would be great if the gameplay could be expanded to subtly build up to the reveal at the end. For example, you need to get information from a young nurse, but maybe only those close to "the end" can see/communicate with you. So the player needs to talk to those people and have them help receive info/an item from others as a proxy (just a thought).
Nice work for your first game made from scratch and under such a short deadline!
We are glad that you enjoyed it! And that our story has a „plotwist” for other players.
Yeah we would like to expand whole game. About mechanics that’s actually a better way to make quests gonna think about it!
Thank for your Feedback, We trully appreciate that! We gonna think about your ideas about our game! Thanks!
We can see that you put most of your resources in the graphics, and it's very successful! The story is quite short but I like its rather dark side finally, it changes a little bit :) . On the other hand, the mechanics are quite simple, with the pencils to be fetched for example (maybe don't say where they are to let the player look for them?). I ask to see more :) . Good luck for the Jam !
We are glad you enjoyed our game! About mechanics: tbh it's because of TIME (hehe). We just wanted to make it as fast as We can, so We just created easy task for the player. But this is a great idea for the update! Thank you for apprecaite also the graphics in the game and for whole feedback!
BTW: Damn I'm really impressed that you actually played it on your gameboy can you tell me more how you did that? Cause tried to find some informations about making own cartridge but still it's pretty hard.
So to play your game, I used my Everdrive from Krikzz, you put a micro SD card in it that contains the games, and off you go.
On the other hand I also have a "dumper" which allows you to flash a blank cartridge from the rom on the computer, it's a good solution for example to market your game. If you want a copy of your game one day, I can flash one for you (I've already done it for several developers), but I'm in France, so with the shipping costs, it may not be the ideal solution ;) Where are you from ?
Damnn that sounds really cool! Gonna check it!
YEAH that would be very cool to have own game on cartridge to play! Well actually I’m from Poland but was born in France. Gonna be there for holidays so sounds like a chance! :D
Well if you prefer we can talk about it on Discord!
No problemo : my discord : bomberman90#6752
I added you check discord in free time :D
That was surprisingly dark. I didn't expect that. It is nice to see themes being explored on the Game Boy by homebrew devs which Nintendo would never have allowed back in the day. I really enjoyed your graphics, they are top notch.
This is a really good entry for your first game jam. I hope you continue to make games and maybe even flesh this one out a bit more.
It's nice to see people's reaction because of this "plot twist". :D Maybe it's dark but thats how it is in real life I guess, it's just much darker. Maybe because of that we gonna be removed from the game jam. But still it was very fun to try it! It's very cool to also see all the positive feedback from other developers.
We are really glad that you like it! And thank you for your feedback. :)
I think you will be fine. Tronimal (the host of the jam) already played your game (and all the other games) on Twitch and seemed to have enjoyed it. So you don't have to be worried about getting removed. I think the NSFW rule was more about naughty stuff and not about exploring darker themes.
You can watch the video here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1313160070. Tronimal starts playing your game at around 12:30.
Hope so! Glad that he enjoyed somehow my game! :D
Thank you for letting me know! Gonna check it in free time to see his reaction. :)
Good story! Just the right amount of it to establish some emotions and foreshadowing.
We are really glad that you like our story! But still I (as a Graphic Designer) think that this is too short to feel the plot. :D Thank you for your feedback!
Nice job! The story and pacing made we want to keep playing. I really like the design of the title screen. Would be curious to see where the game and story went with more production time.
We are really glad that you enjoyed our game. :) And we trully appreciate your feedback! We would love to find a little more time (hehe) to expand this project. :)
