i didn't mean to come off as harsh, so sorry! the game's art style is really charming to me, and given the short time frame it's very impressive! it was a very fun game to try, and it's a very unique game. good work!

very very very cute art with baseline RPG mechanics!

gameplay -- standard RPG, can't go wrong. bonus points for funny dialogue (slipper cat, persistent door, etc.)

music -- an original soundtrack of decent length! couldn't quite groove, but it's cool to have that originality

art -- yes yes yes i love the art in this game so much

theme -- malenrost is a tower in the game 👍

originality -- funny dialogue but lackluster combat and level design (aside from the art, which is awesome

very well worth my 20 minutes of trying it out!

heavily undertale-inspired walk-through story experience. cool narrative that tries to touch on deeper topics, but is cut a little short due to being a game jam (understandably)

gameplay - i scored this higher due to having lots of dialogue that was good to read, but the gameplay itself is lackluster. walk through rooms and press the next button 

music - there is music, but it's just the undertale soundtrack

contrary to the narrator's belief, this IS in fact a one bit game! so good job with that

same error on windows 11: tried downloding and running the exe submitted 20 days ago but the error listed occurred. downloaded the x86_64 file and bash could identify it as a ELF 64-bit LSB executable but when trying to execute as binary gave an exec format error

game had me hooked from its charming art style and music, it was fun to give it a shot!

gameplay -- my fuel seems to be constantly depleting even when braking and staying still - not sure if bug or if i'm doing something wrong? can't accelerate anymore after fuel depletes, so uphill/level ground sections become impossible

music -- there is music, and it's pretty charming until it loops for around 10 minutes. could use some more variety, but i like the premise of the sound design

art -- love the pixely-rotoscoped kinda feel the graphics have. 

theme -- a little weak, as it seems the tower could've been any other object and the game would've still worked. 

originality -- don't remember ever playing a game like this!

and yeah the game is 1 bit

like shovel knight, but with an awesome silly little guy instead

not sure how much playtesting was done or if there's a button i'm missing, but i tried levels 1, 4, and 5 for about 10 minutes each and wasn't able to beat any of them due to one or two jumps that seemed impossible after trying from multiple angles. level 5 also appears to be blank, but like, game jam so fair enough. cool concept, controls felt really good after a while!
