Insane that this was made in a week! It's so well made. No complaints. Just wow.
Hey! Thanks a lot for playing the game and for the good comments :)
Super good game! Reminds me of undertale. I liked the little minigames to break up the reading.
Thanks a lot! Mid-development i noticed some resemblance with Undertale and went with that, good thing someone noticed it! Thanks for playing my game
Ok from all games I played so far this is the best.
Pro:
- All the minigames were fun
- the artstyle was coherent and the limited palette was very well used
- the message was send and received
- the story was very good for this short amount of time!
Con:
really the only thing I can think about which I did not like was that I was not able to play the game. But this is just because I am looking for something I don't like. The gameplay itself was very minmal. The minigames gave me the feel of participating but at the end it was a dialog I was participating. A very good one but a dialog.
If you ask me what to improve would be to increase the actual tasks. After fishing with your dad let me bring the fish back while my mother asks me to go to someone pick something up for dinner from a neighbor. On the way collect the fruit and give it to the kids. While at the neighbor you get the bad news. This would maybe immerse the player a little bit more into the world and has feeling of doing something.
For me still a 5/5
Thanks a lot for all the feedback! If i ever get to this project again, I'm definitely gonna take a look into that! Thanks for playing too
Really well-polished game
Love the Undertale inspiration
:)
Nah this is straight peak. Message delivered. I thought you would be able to get an alternate ending if you went through the beginning without killing anything, nonetheless this is pretty good. I like how the controls were mostly onscreen for when you needed it. chef's kiss / 10
That's really nice to read. Thanks a lot :)
