Ah, this has some nifty mini-games.  I wonder how the theme's gonna come into play.
...oh... oh no...
Excellent entry.  That was very effective.

Damn that's sad, interesting way to adress the theme though. I don't have any critisism about it, so... good job !

Such a unique concept! Well done! :D

Well that was kind of weird and depressing. But I like games that subvert the expectation that they need to be "fun", so good job with that part.

This sound when they were in the car. I immediately knew what would happen and was like, "no no no no".

What a sad story :'( 

Although there's not much gameplay, the story is gripping and you'll find yourself following it. You wonder where it's going and then... The second section brings us down to earth.

Great story!

Great use of storytelling in such a short play time. You did an awesome job with tone and interpreting the theme in a much different way.

On the first section of the game, I thought to myself: "Oh hey, cool, this could be the next WarioWare or A little to the left-inspired slice of life game! I wonder, why did the description say it's so short? Oh.. That's why..."

Yeah, the second section of the game has a completely different tone. The simplicity and contrast between the first and second sections really enhance both the story and gameplay. And yes, the game should definitely keep its original style and length - don't listen to my thoughts in the first paragraph :)

An amazing entry overall :)

The game shows a great combination of gameplay and storytelling which impressed me emotionally.

It might be better if the font is easier to read.

Very good use of gameplay to tell a story, and unique use of the jam theme.

The game is only around 3 minutes, yet it tells such sad story. The game is very simple but very good.

hard to rate enjoyment when you wanna CRY! (dont worry I rated 4) pretty creative overall and as other people mentioned its cool to do everything with just clicking

Submitted(+1)

The gameplay is simple, but it convey well the story. And I see why it was a spoiler to explain how it fit the theme

Submitted(+1)

wow. this is really good. the way it uses the one input in so many ways is clever, and there are so many details (the sound effects going away, clicking multiple times to get out of bed, the microwave) that make the story hit even harder. 10/10

Submitted

oooohh I didnt realise thats what was happening with the getting out of bed

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Wow.

Just wow.

So much was conveyed using only the clicks of a mouse.

The first scene after it happened, I clicked, and nothing happend. I clicked again, and nothing happened. Then I spam-clicked, and it clicked (get it? get it?). This is what this game is about. This is so incredibly clever, and so well done. Words cannot express how impressed I am with this absolute gem. I gave it 5 stars on all three ratings of the jam, but it deserves more.

(Minor bug: When I first started the game, and the prompt came up to press the buttons to enter windowed mode from fullscreen, I did, and it entered windowed mode, but then no other buttons or mouse clicks worked. I had to restart the game and not enter Windowed mode to continue)

This is a very heart-wrenching short story. I really enjoyed the art even though you say it was temporary, I think it still looks great! Thank you for sharing this!
