I like the rhyming!
even the unanimated scene made me smile lol
Thank you! I'd like to animate every scene eventually, glad you liked it!
Love the story and the art. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
what a great job, nice design
Thank you!
Great story, great ending, great art and rhymes! So cool, great job :D
Thank you!
Nice game.
Thanks!
Your first game? No way man, it's too good.
Gotta love the poetry. This is one of the rare games on the jam that made me read through every single text.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Amazing cinematics, cool narrative driven by poetry, art style & music were nice.
I'd appreciate some way to skip the typewriter if the game was longer though, that's my only complaint because attempting to spam keys to speed though a cutscene seemed to bug the game to not accept inputs after.
Thank you! Yeah, I wasn't quite sure how to do the skipping thing yet, and felt it was short enough that hopefully people would understand. I might update it after the jam ends. Thanks for the feedback!
Nice job on the animations. It's very smooth!
Thanks! They were super fun to make.
Thank you!
Incredibly creative, the pet, game mechanics and the sick rhymes were amazing !!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it.
This game can win this jam O _ O
Haha, thank you so much!
damn the story was great! this is far beyond the scope of a game jam, super polished! great job!
Thank you!
Wow! This game is very good and beyond my expectation.
Very creative, keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Great writing and gameplay. I really enjoyed it! Keep up!
Haha thank you!
Funny and nice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Haha, the poetry is so good and so funny. It makes me want to say 'Who are you?' Did you write it yourself or adapt it from something? Love the line 'violence solved the last problem, it will solve this one too'.
Really enjoyed playing this, great graphics and sound, and I laughed so much, well done.
Thanks so much! I wrote everything myself! I was inspired by an old children's book I recently read again called "The Gashlycrumb Tinies" by Edward Gorey. I'm glad I you enjoyed it, and thanks for playing!
I just read the Gashlycrumb Tinies poem. Yes, you really did capture the rhythm and humour of it. To anyone reading this who was as impressed as I was with NUTT's poem, the Gashlycrumb poem is a 26 line alphabet poem. NUTT's poem uses the tone of that in a completely new original poem. I can't move on haha, so impressed.
Hmmm, actually, I'll play the other choices too, to get all of it.
Love the ambiance, very funny
Thank you!

Hey, thank you so much!
