Oof, the angst is real in this one. The visuals and animations are fantastic. If you had customized to text box and font to have the pixel aesthetics as well then it'd be perfect!
Good job, good art, best story! Great job!
I would be grateful if you rated our game
cool! i enjoyed the art, and the really enjoy story...
best in this jam!
Oh man. The story. The plot twist. The emotions. They hit me pretty hard. Even the good ending didn't feel like a good ending because of (redacted due to spoilers).
Fun and cool idea of different endings. Got the good ending first try!
The visuals and animations of this game were very appealing. Story-wise, this must be among the most unique and unexpected games of this jam. Even though the climax feels a bit sudden (especially since things escalate rather quickly for such a short game), I simply have to appreciate the boldness of the ideas here. Although not quite perfect, this might well be the game from this jam I'll remember most a year from now on.
The stories were fun to read through and you had great visuals/animations to go along with it, great game!
So, what was the made with? JS or PHP? I made mine with python. Its Santa's Anvil Adventure. Its my first time putting a real game in a jam. I hope it wins, I put a lot of effort, I made the main mechanics, chatgpt did the code, and I did the graphics too
