The chaos comes from the variety of characters in different art styles, as well as the always moving HUD.

really liked this game. using side quests as the main mechanic was really interesting and the jumping interactive UI really added a layer of chaos to the game.

Really like the game idea and the quests jumping along with the character is super fun. The sound effect when purple guy open their eye is perfect. Enjoyed playing the game and it matched the limitation very well!

I like it! I think the HUD always moving idea is really fun. There's an artstyle clash here, though. The pixel art scale changes from character to character.

Developer

That's part of the chaos aspect. I wanted each character to be made by a new artist to get a wide variety of characters and art. So naturally some were just bigger pixel sizes.

really cute game, loved the chaotic UI , really fantastic.  i beat it once, not realizing a missed a bunch of the map, on my second trip i also got stuck in a place i couldn't jump out of. all the way to the right , think it just needs one more step

Developer

Noted on the soft lock. There aren't any quests that way so i just didn't playtest that area, lol. I'll probably fix that when I get home.

Really cute! The idea of side quests as a base idea overloading is really fun, I didn't get too far as I got softlocked in an area I couldn't jump out of, sorry! Another thing to watch out for is your pixel art scale which here is a bit all over.

The game was hilarious and the art was good. I loved the purple guy and the eerie music that plays when you interact with him. The humor was absolutely spot on, loved every second of this lol

Developer

Glad you liked it! I plan on adding a lot more if I can find time.

Funny game and really great art

The funny thing is, I am CoderBroDev 

I like that other people have also contributed to the game in terms of art.

Great limitation concept as well. 

Just a suggestion- In case you will continue working on this game, push this game to STEAM. I would easily pay 5$ for a polished version of this game. In case you need help, let me know, I am up for help....

Again great game, loved it....

Best of Luck,

Metroid Games/CoderBroDev

Thank you again for the sprites! Would you like me to add your itch.io page to the game? Also I totally plan on adding more, I wanted at least 20 NPCs. 

Submitted

yes, you are welcome to do that. My itch.io page is metroid-games.itch.io

Funny game, good story.

Also, I almost lose at the end (where the big wall at the right side), but my parkour with jumps solved the problem, hah
