  • Man, I don't know. The art is great, but everything else is pretty rough. The audio seems pretty decent, but it's marred by extremely poor mixing. No one can be heard unless I fix it in the settings. The game jam theme is lazily slapped on at the end with one dialogue line. There's no interactivity beyond me clicking to progress the dialogue; and if I set it to 'auto', there's *no* interactivity. No branching paths, or choices have to be made. And it abruptly ends with just getting shot :\ I imagine you just ran out of time, but I have to judge it based on what you submitted, and not what I imagine it can be. I definitely would have liked to see more.

the only thing i dont agree with is the theme being lazily slapped on at the end. the whole thing is about "bagels and spreads" >.< i spent a lot of time developing that portion with the mascot and the uniforms. im an artist, not a programmer so i agree that the game aspect was lacking
