I love the art, its beautiful.
that's very very cute. music and art style are great.
I really liked the visuals and the music. I just wish the story was better explained in gameplay. I had to read the description to understand what the hell was going on... Also, as some others have mentioned, a quicker "recovery" from a failed attempt would encourage trying all endings.
Nice job!
Nice concept and great visuals!
Very nice concept, also the art and music is lovely. :) Good job!
Great visuals and parallax scrolling on some elements when zooming in and out. Bit short, but a nice idea as a base for a game.
It took me a while to get the pun of "out of control", nicely done hahaha!
The art and music were very charming! Too bad it was too short, it would be interesting to see some different situations!
Also it would be nice to make it faster to recover from a failed attempt, it seems the kind of game that I'd like to intentionally fail just to see what would happen! A shorter cycle would encourage that kind of gameplay!
Thank you, we will take into account all your wishes! The new version of the game is already in development.
Wonderful art and charming characters - the concept is solid and artfully done. As one of my earlier rated entries, I hadn't yet realized that many people were interpreting "out of control" as literal "controls", so it took me a moment to realize that the characters here were personified keyboard controls (or hotkeys, haha).
There's certainly some potential for bolding, cutting, and copying/pasting into situations, and as such this entry definitely seems primed for a more complete version. I'd be interested to see where you take it :)
Thank! The full version is already in development, we are determined to complete the story;)
I think I would have enjoyed a few more rounds (but I mean, I know time restraints are a thing), but its a cute idea! I will say though that the scene of them walking is a bit too slow, especially if you are restarting and have to watch it again. I would either give the option to skip the animation or make the scene a bit faster. Im interested to see a longer version if you guys decide to continue it after the jam!
Thanks you! Yes, we decided to release a more complete version where we will take into account the accumulated feedback and add two more levels and extended ending. When replaying the level, there will be faster animation.
Fun game! It feels like a missed opportunity to use the actual keys to control their onscreen counterparts. Still, great job - it's a really cute game!
Hello and thank you! Unfortunately in the browser version we cannot use hotkeys, but they work in the PC version.
Good to know, I'll give it a try - thanks! We'd love your feedback on our game as well. SpaceBus
Hey Dreamtale!
Very nice art and fun concept to play with.
Being impatient i would like a faster retry time when i fail. Ability to restart to after all the animations, because restarting the whole game and rewatching everything is a bit tedious.
Other than that nice art, music and use of parallax.
If you have time I would love it if you could try my game and give feed back. Its called Drone.
Thanks for your feedback! Yes, we have already decided to finalize the game and the first thing we will do is speed up the animation during replay.
Love the art, music, and camera work. I think it would've made more sense to click an object in the scene (squirrel, acorn, etc.) and B, X, or CV rather than clicking on right-ctrl.
Thank you, we will think about it.
I loved the art style!
Thank you, I will convey your words to the artist)
Wow, this music is both fitting and endearing! I love the atmosphere of this game, and very impressive considering only 48 hours of development - well done :]
Thank you, our composer is 16 years old and she is very touching about such reviews about her work. Today we had a meeting and discussed the improvements to the game. Soon you will find 2 additional levels and new music.
There are two easter eggs in the game, nobody seems to have found them yet)
An interesting game. Some fun concepts to play with. I wish the other characters had their names on their design or around them.
Thanks, just click on the characters and they will say their names, as in the real world;)
Nice art!
Thank you, our artist is very happy :3
Wow the art and music in this game!!! it's beautiful! fantastic work! :D
Thank you, we are very grateful!
Beautiful art, and a clever idea. Working out the game play was a little tricky. But well done, it's such an unusual concept!
Thank you, we try to find the unusual in ordinary things.
Love the art !
I told the artist your words :3
