Absolutely cute!
Thank you! :)
I talked to the man with the head, crossed the street to the sign and picked up the ball. However, there didn't seem to be anything else to interact with or go to in order to find my human. Regarding the art, I like how the characters are white and the environment is yellow. Some sound would be a nice addition, like a woof sfx.
You need to talk again with the same man after you pick up the ball. There's also a little easter egg for the curious people who try to go up to the sky in a certain spot. Hopefully you can play again to get the ending. Out of curiosity: did you die any time trying to cross the street?
I'm glad you liked my color palette! The music for the game was almost ready, but I didn't want to be late for the jam, I'll update it soon.
Thank you for your comment!
Oh okay, now I got the ending. I crossed the street multiple times without dying. However, when you're on the bottom of the screen and walk to the left you still get run over. Isn't that area part of the sidewalk?
Oh it was on purpose, for a perspective matter. But I get how can it be misleading, I'll fix it on the update. Thank you!
Such a cute little thing! It does exactly what it says, it's quick, and the art is wonderful!
Thank you so much! I tried to keep it quick against my own instinct of over complicate things haha ❤️
Aww this is so cute, love it :))
Nice artwork and I like the idea of the city being a single level..
Thank you! ❤️ :)
Loved the art and colors of the game! Great presentation. Also some nice use of the limitation there.
The text system was absolutely stunning, is it a feature of Bitsy or did you code it yourself? Amazing nonetheless.
Flipping the sprite when you walk left and right would've been a great addition, along with some audio! Please consider updating it!
Thank you so much! The art actually took me more time than I anticipated haha.
The text is a Bitsy feature, I just played around mixing different effects and colors. I love it too!
I wanted to flip the avatar but I didn't know how to do so until it was already too late (I'm still learning how to work with Bitsy). I'll update it soon as I can to add that! Oh, and the music it's almost ready too, but I wasn't 100% happy with it so I didn't include it for the jam.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, thank you for taking the time to comment ❤️
Game was cute and quick, sadly I got ran over by a car on my first attempt. I'm not to sure how much it has to do with an island but it's still a nice game.
I'm glad you find it cute! When I was conceptualizing for the jam the wordplay with traffic islands came to my mind. Later I found out they're also called Refuge islands, which sparked the idea of the whole little journey with the dog. Thank you for playing! ❤
Ahhhh a traffic island, makes much more sense now.
