This is a really neat game. I like the interpretation of the theme. It really feels like you're playing as the arcade machine. Also, the people art looks really good!

The lore is realy fun and well writen. The level design is a bit poor, but with more time it could become a fun game. Would play 2.0 :)

Yep, it was fun, good job!
Controls could be a little less wanky and more responsive, but platformer controls are hard to make good.
I hope that it could have some sort of continuation, because it could be a fun idea

Thanks :)

Congrats on your first entry (I reached the "end"). I agree with some of the other comments - controls were a little hard, and the levels may have been a bit too easy (ie, it was pretty easy to "die"). I liked the tactile feedback sounds (moving left/right moved the controller and played a nice little joystick sound), and the story cutscenes were well done. Nice work. :)

The blue guy is such a precious little character! Such a creative story and each interaction had me giggling. The platform controls were difficult to get used to, but the levels utilized them well. SFX were great! Good job!

Developer
