It's amazing what you've done in such a short time with pico-8! the music although simple is really catchy, could be my favorite in this jam actually. My only suggestion is that it was quite unclear what the gameplay was doing, I had the love and morale going up and down by themselves and didn't know what's happening.

Great job!

Thanks, and sorry. Apparently a lot of people found it confusing. I'm gonna quote myself here:

 "The love meter goes up when you collect salsa (cuz ur like doing this errand for nacho lady) but this decreases your morale (because it's a truly demeaning task. I mean - the salsa looks like poo) To regain morale you interact with cousin Junior, and you gain love faster than regaining morale."

I sorta rushed the development in the beginning and when I got a working prototype I just submitted. I will surely manage my time in future jams.. Thanks for playing!

Yup! no worries, I was in the same situation and didn't have time to explain the mechanics to the player in my game as well.

Important thing is to learn and keep on making more awesome games!

oo nice, a pico 8 game! The graphics on this game are great, loved the animation of the emoji man crying, how it would be affected by the wind! The dialogue bit was also nice

I couldn't really make sense of the  gameplay, it seemed like my love meter was going up and down at random. I think more feedback on what is lowering it and what is raising it would be good.

Developer

pico 8 indeed!

I didn't really think it would be confusing, sorry. The love meter goes up when you collect salsa (cuz ur like doing this errand for nacho lady) but this decreases your morale (because it's a truly demeaning task. I mean - the salsa looks like poo) To regain morale you interact with cousin Junior, and you gain love faster than regaining morale.

Bonus points for making in on the pico-8.

Good audio and visuals, I think it could use some hazards and such to compliacte things up, but it is well done for a jam! Good job!

Developer
