I made a video of your game. It's at the 9:03 mark of this video.

Awesome! Thanks again for playing.

The humor was great and I loved how you interacted with the game in a very meta way. Also, I love the book "There's a Monster at the End of this Book." X3 Thanks for uploading and sharing!

That was a cute game! I like the true ending that you get when you find all three of the eyeballs.

Cool theme! I love barry the bush. Reminded me of the broom closet in Stanley Parable :) Got stuck at the night though and the repeated fights were annoying while I was trying to figure out how the cursor worked.

Ha! That was a fun game from start to finish! I'm really sad I couldn't find the third eye even after... what I've done to the bush. (I selected Guard instead of Attack all the way hoping the third eye will be at the end of it.)

Developer

Glad you had fun! If you want a hint...the zoo might be a good place to check...

Love the humour and the concept! Unfortunately it locked up after defeating the knight for me :(

Thanks for playing my game! Was the game frozen in battle/outside the battle? Did you use the second party member to defeat the guard or were you able to do so with Barry? The second shouldn’t be possible. If not there’s a cave to the right that can be entered after.

It was after the battle, the zoo guy yelled at me and it looked like it was going to head into the cave (or I was going to be able to) and then I couldn't move anything anymore.

What browser were you using? Having trouble replicating the issue. Tested on Chrome, Edge and the downloadable.

Chrome on Windows 11 - thanks for looking into it, I'll give the download a try :)

Really enjoyed this very silly and fun! Would you mind rating mine? https://itch.io/jam/scream-jam-2024/rate/305422

Pleasantly surprised by this it got a couple laughs at me especially the cutaway to the thousand yard stare that got a fully belly one. Please tell me how to get past the knight lol I spent a while and just couldn’t figure out how. Wanna see the ending and bump up my rating

Love this entry
