The ambiance noise and the typewriter sound effects were so satisfying. The concept of "liberation" is also well-executed. The only minor is that the friends get overlapped and rapidly change colors, but can be easily fixed! Great work!
what a sweet little game! the ending was a pleasant surprise too, good work!
That ambiance is menacing! and what a relief when it changes! I found there to be insufficient contrast between the text and background, and would recommend adding a transparent black background or shadows for the text to pop more. An otherwise sweet and concise experience.
Glad you liked it! That contrast with the ambiance was exactly what we were going for, I'm glad it hit for you :). Shadows are a great idea, I'll think about adding that to the text to make it easier to read
I really liked this, especially the ending screen just really got to me for some reason. Audio in general was really atmospheric despite being so simple. Great work!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! As the person not responsible for any of the art, I really love the transition from underground to the sky above, too. Anyway, thanks for playing :)
Cute! I like the friends following in your footsteps. The mechanic of them helping light the way is great
The writing is good but unfortunately a bit hard to read with small text/not much contrast with some of the backgrounds
Lovely work!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! :) Appreciate the comment on the UI, too-- I'll see about making it easier to read!
The new text is way better!! Awesome, thanks :)
