I just finished all sessions, very unique and interesting concept, and I liked the cute characters too! Well done!
Appreciate it! It's so good to hear those words when you have poured a lot of straight hours into it and you keep thinking it's garbage.
:)) Thanks
I really love the unique take on scaling by making the window size actually change, I didn't actually expect something like that. I also really enjoy the therapeutic theme you went with, it's a nice slow down and change of pace from many other games in the jam. I'd love to see the visual design cleaned up a little more, but at the same time there's also something oddly relatable about it, if that makes sense.
Thanks for playing it and your words :) I think the shrinking idea was original, but I lacked the time and effort to put as much as I wanted into the visuals... But we improve with each jam! Cheers
I loved how the jam theme was integrated by shrinking the game window, really cool idea.
The art was also beautiful and so was the remote therapy session Metal Gear style. :)
Thank youuu <3 ! glad you caught the reference :3
You should continue making games cause i liked this one, and it is only your first project ! it was made under 48 hours so it could maybe be polished especially in gameplay but otherwise i enjoyed it ! Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for your words, they are really encouraging :))
In your game page you wrote:
The gameplay def could be sharpened up quite a bit, but don’t we all know how hard it is to make a game alone and in two days.
I very much enjoyed all the cutscenes, breaks between levels, and surprises popping up in each level. My favorite games are the ones where you can tell the person who made the game knows precisely what emotions they want the player to feel. And this is one of those.
Hope to see you in another jam!
Thank you for your kind words and feedback, super appreciated :)
Hope I will improve in future jams, but knowing someone played the game motivates me a lot, cheers!
