Game was a bunch of fun! So sorry the stream vod didn't save! The characters and associated art were a bunch of fun! A goal or other gameplay elements would be really nice, but I doubt that needs to be said. Glad you had fun with the jam!

There's a really interesting concept here and some cool character designs, so it's a shame there wasn't more to the story. I really want to know what's happening in this surreality! Lots of birds, which I'm totally into... lol.
I agree with Dumb Luck about the interesting duality of the pixelated world versus the hand-drawn character portraits--it's really cool! The music was just the right amount of mysterious, not overbearing. I saw the tearing that Wolfina mentioned but it didn't ruin the experience for me.
Great work! I'd really love to explore deeper into this world.
WordyRobin thank you so much! Glad the mix of pixel and hand drawn worked, and that you found the music fitting! That is truly affirming to the things we really wanted to work.
We have a whole story laid out, game designed, and even an inventory system programmed! We knew at least in the last 24 hours that none of it was going to make it in there. Sounds like our resulting showcase was exactly as planned though! Curious, prompting and full of spaces just yeaaarning to tell a story.
Thanks for playing!

Art is really gorgeous! There's some tearing in the tiles in some spots, tweaking the camera's values usually fixes that! Very cute game :D
Oh thank you thank you! Camera values you say... *strokes beard*...*jots down notes*. I will look into that because those tears were irksome for sure!

Really great art! Awesome use of just a few frames to keep each sprite interesting. Also cool portraits, love the blue and line art style. It's a nice contrast to the super colorful, pixelated world. Didn't get the chance to download it so I haven't heard the music, but I'm sure it's just as good as the art! :)
Thanks for exploring the field! Thanks for the kind words on the art, really happy with the lil quirkiness of it all as well. Thanks!!
