Very deep game. I included it in my Movie Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out! :)

It was superfun and happy till the last scenes popped up. Awesome art and music. Very colorful. 

I have not seen the movie but I guess it will be worth watching. 

Well done mate!

 This game changed a lot very fast. I appreciate you exposing an uncomfortable topic.
 

Really like the gameplay. The NPCs sorta guide you and show you how to perform tricks.

Then I I got sad.

Uau! Well done!I wanted to take a similar approach and do a game about a dificul topic. But I failed miserably and changed my submission to something lighter. But you did it! I'm really glad you did it! Games can be a way to raise awareness. Nicely done!

Thanks for playing! I am glad you had similar thoughts. I think games can do anything films could do, especially on realistic topics.

Well that certainly took a turn. Good on you for having the courage to make a game about such a sensitive topic. I didn't really know what was happening in the last scene until the cinematic kicked in. It really expressed how a happy situation can turn into something horrible without the victim realizing right away that something is wrong.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't polish my game well, but I am glad you get the point eventually. 

Thank you for playing my game though and left a reply
