I was like "well, I like the UI setting", but WOW when the game really gets going it has a lot of thought put into it for a gag story. The perfect ending made me beam. This contains rich Harold Essence.
My thoughts while playing this game:
- The game needs a little bit of a spelling/grammar check. It's not hard to understand, just annoying.
+ A game-making sim? That's different!
+ This story is funny.
- I'm not a fan of choice boxes with no default selection
+ I like how you loop back to a decision point after getting one of the earlier endings so you don't have to go through all of the text again.
+ OMG WHAT HAROLD...not gonna spoil it, but the plot twist is amazing!
+ "Voice acting." Nice.
+ The plot twists keep coming. I love it!
- Is the mapping made with parallax or grid-free doodads? The map doesn't line up with where the icons are.
- Why no Harold battle sprite? Even blowing up a Harold sprite would have made a better enemy sprite.
I did multiple playthroughs, so the thoughts may seem a little out of order. "+" are for things I liked, "-" are for things I didn't like.
Overall, I enjoyed this game and got a few laughs in. Good job!
Harold sounds like Microsoft Sam confirmed! Really cool concept and a somewhat sweet ending with the google page. Harold would probably be overjoyed to see a game jam dedicated to him!
It made me laugh too, it's funny how harold is the bad guy and push the dev to the rpg maker, that was an awesome idea!
VERY creative mapping here, and it's nice that you auto-start at the last decision branch each time to make it easy for the player to explore the various endings. The voice integration was cool too. Nice job!
I actually laughed when I made the map, Harold actually told MC to create the worst map ever.
lol! I just mean that the way you made a map out of the MV UI was super creative :)
