I played the game as ticket feedback request. The mechanic of crier was good and I can see the art remind me of NES style.
I think the theme could be a little more work on the concept. I can see the idea of spreading the word of crier to the population, but the theme is "it is spreading". So what precise are ya really spreading here?
I think it can be improved by having the NPCs spread the word themselves and perhaps have different words for different kind of people or crisis to solve. Have some guards as enemies could impact on the gameplay loop so ya run around with a timer and avoid the guards while the NPC is doing the work for the player.
That could be a interesting route. But ofc that is entirely up to ya.
Thanks for the feedback! The NPCs do spread the word amongst themselves after you've told them, but I can see how that's not clear in the game. Maybe it would be more clear if I zoomed out the view and you could see the NPCs talking to each other?
It's cool that you mention different crises to solve because that's where I was planning on taking the game if I work on it more.
Thanks again for playing!
Charming little game! Especially loved the music I love the original Canon :) Pretty simple but working game, congrats!
Hey follow word spreader! We both went down the same theme route but I love your implementation! Great job!
225 high score! What a neat game. The NES vibes are off the charts, well done! I loved the implementation of the theme.
Very nice art and music. The word I was spreading was PIZZA, I love pizza ha ha :) Good job!
The pixel art and chiptunes make it seem like a NES game. Kind of curious how the spreading works between people. Hope you had fun making it!
Spreading between people happens about the same way it does from you, just slower. While they have a speech bubble, they're talking about it and can spread it to other people.
NES game was what I was going for, I felt like that was my level of artistic skill.
Very fun concept and loved the art style.
Thanks! That means a lot, since the art was what I was least confident about. Thanks for playing!
