Cute blob! I included it in my LOWREZJAM compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

This game is just really nice to look at, and feels good to move around in. I feel like you played to the strengths of the low-rez restriction by having short snippets of text and small, colorful, animated sprites. Really nicely done, and I'm looking forward to coming back and finishing this one after ratings are over.

This game has really been something else. At the very start of the jam while our team was still deciding what genre we'd go with we'd all given up on the idea of making a text based game of any kind, but here you are with a full fledged adventure game with multiple endings XD 

I don't think I have anything to complain about here besides the lack of music clashing with the sudden audio effects when you interact with objects but other than that this game deserves 6 stars on authenticity for how much it's able to accomplish under restrictions. Cheers!

Thanks for playing! I did want to add music (there's even a disabled setting in the options menu for it), but I was working right up to the deadline getting all of those endings finished, haha.

I liked the idea of a side view adventure game! 

It remind me a bit of The Cave :-)

Blorb is adorable, his rolling animation is really enjoyable.  I kind of expected a platformer at first to be honest but, I'm glad it was an adventure game instead!  Nice Job!

Unfortunately I could only play the web version as I'm on Linux which forced me to zoom in my browser for some reason (the window was too small to see comfortably), but otherwise this one was all right. I like the matter-of-fact way everyone speaks in. Really helps cram the info onto such a small screen space.

A feature I would have appreciated is some kind of notes system where I could review all the clues I'd found so far, but so long as I have a real pen and paper to hand, this shouldn't be an issue.

It's a little long though, and I have a lot of games to rate, so I'd need to come back to this one to fully commit to it and see what it has to offer.

Thanks for playing! I'll put out a bug fix build later tonight to fix the zooming issue, which currently affects anyone playing the browser version on Linux or Mac. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Cute game, took me a little bit to "get it" but after that it was enjoyable, the art is adorable

Very cool game. I like you pixel art  simple but it's working.
