WOW I am absolutely in love with this game so excuse me while I gush over it! The visuals and music do such an amazing job of capturing the colorful neon plastic feeling of Vegas with just a little bit of underlying scuzziness. Each area is so unique and striking and your sense of color design is wonderful. Also I am incredibly jealous of how you're able to draw pixel trees. I'm over here taking notes. And am I correct in sensing some very direct Mother 3 and LSD Dream Emulator influences? 

I did encounter some bugs, but that's understandable since it's a demo and there's a lot of content. I'm not sure what triggered it, but after the second time I went out for the day, the main character no longer had collision with anything so I could walk through walls and was no longer able to go to sleep so I had to start a new game. Also I went off the track of the escalators in the mall section somehow.

Despite it being a work in progress, I'm super impressed by how creative and ambitious the project is overall. There's so many details to love. The tiger ladder climbing animation. The mermaid effect. And I'm dying to find out who this blond woman who keeps showing up is. I don't know if you're planning on continuing the project after this jam, but I'm very excited to see whatever you have in store for the future!

Thanks for appreciating the trees, I feel like they're one of those mundane things that are a real pain to pixel but also almost unavoidable. I think I spent more time pixeling trees than any other singular object if you count the trees that didn't make it into the game, hah. And you are completely correct, MOTHER 3 And LSD Dream Emulator are big influences in my work and here especially.

I'm going to have to do some serious collision bug testing when I release my next version... I have a hunch I know what caused those bugs though so hopefully it won't be so bad. The escalators in particular were a big hurdle in bug testing - juggling automated diagonal pixel movement, well... it has its challenges.

I do have plans to continue to expand this project! It'll probably be a bit before I get my next version out because I want to smooth out some rougher parts in the foundation, but there's too much here already for me to not want to finish it. ;)
