what a delightfully detailed and cozy game :) I got a bit stuck in the library (knit happens, right? xD), but I will be coming back to try again at a reasonable hour in my timezone!

so far, I absolutely adore the art, and the combination of these visuals and the music is so calming <3 as an impostor syndrome experiencer and someone who keeps moving away to new places, the themes are definitely speaking to me as well -- I look forward to seeing how Fern's relationships with the other characters and their perspective on the city might shift as they work to alleviate their impostor syndrome :D

Thank you!! I was the one who designed the main concept behind the game, so it puts the biggest smile on my face to know that someone out there enjoyed the experience and appreciated the allegory ^^ (Jackie's writer was also quite thrilled to see your comment hehe)

Regarding the zooming in/out: in a Google Chrome window on my smaller laptop, I zoomed out to 67% to get the UI to appear as intended.

Hi again, Safe In Our World! The special submission link worked perfectly! Thank you so much for your understanding; the themes behind this jam really resonated with the in Fluorescence team, so we're very excited to be able to have our game included in the official submissions :)

Hello, Safe In Our World! I worked together with a team to create a game for this jam, but when I tried several times  to submit during the last ten minutes before the deadline, I kept receiving an error message about an Itch server error.  I am not certain why this happened, as I can see that other games were submitted in the window during which I was trying to submit my project...I was trying to submit from my workplace before my shift started, but perhaps my internet connection was too weak.

Is there any way to get this game included in the jam submissions? As you can see on the game page, it was last updated before the deadline. Of course, if it's not possible to get the game into the submissions at this time, my teammates and I fully understand; we just wanted to try and share what we were able to put together with you. We thank you for taking the time to host this jam and look through all of the questions, comments, and submissions. :)

this is my absolute favorite game I've found in this jam; IT'S SO CUTE! ♥ and very addicting! I love that the mouse has been replaced by an adorable paw ^^ the art is all really polished, and the opening song makes me feel super nostalgic for some reason :') I also laughed really hard at the game over music xD and it was so satisfying to make it on the leaderboard!!! I will definitely play again; congrats on a really lovely game! :)

I survived for...a little over a minute xD really fun and challenging game! I thought the power ups were a neat addition and I really liked the backstory, nice work :)

this is so cute!! I struggled a lot to eat enough fish; I'm not very good at surviving as an otter xD congrats on a wonderful and enjoyable submission to this jam :D

the downloadable file doesn't work with my computer but the screenshots are really cute!! Myte is adorable :)

this is very unique and quite technically impressive! I like that my more simple creation was almost able to win against one that was far more complicated...makes me wonder what the optimal monstrosity build would be when considering compact and simple vs. large and complex :0 nice job! :D

update that I got my brother to play, too, and he taught me how to be a good doctor haha xD now I feel like a real hero with all these adorable and happy patients :)

this game is SO CUTE :D I have learned that...it's a good thing I didn't pursue a career in the medical field LOL xD but I had a ton of fun playing! wonderful job!!

this game really put a smile on my face; the music and the visuals work very nicely together! and the gameplay feels a lot more exciting and strategic than traditional rock-paper-scissors :D

the sound effects, the art, the uplifting messages...this game is truly a splashterpiece!!! I've decided I need to play it every time I'm feeling down so it'll cheer me up :) nice job :D

the team put a lot of effort into building a system to dynamically generate amusing emails, so it's really nice to hear you enjoyed that aspect ^^ thanks for playing!!

So glad you were amused by our writer's wit and found so much joy in the game :) Thanks for playing and leaving such a wonderful comment!! :D (and don't worry about your fish job; the company surely appreciates your efforts more than mine since I have a tendency to trash emails from the execs xD)

Thanks! Shmark would be happy to take you on as his apprentice to improve your ability to fish out phishing emails xD

even though we made the game, my teammates and I are not great at sorting emails either, LOL xD we really appreciate your kind words, thank you!! ♡

this comment made the team feel really happy and proud of our goofy and very offishal game :)

thank you so much for the kind praise and the thoughtful feedback!! your ideas are fintastic hehe :)

Shmark is so glad you understand his feelings xD Thanks for the thoughtful comment! The office will happily welcome you back any time :)

thanks!! :) I may need to adjust the spam appearance rate :0 

thank you!! :D your comment really made my day :)
