  • Despite being short and hastily made with little actual gameplay, it was actually pretty fun.
  • A very enjoyable short story, no puzzles to speak of and unfortunately nothing much in the way of audio but there was a fantastic sense of humour throughout with brilliantly written dialogue and enjoyable stickman animation. The influence from earlier flash games was obvious but it would have been great to have seen just a little more definition in the background visuals, maybe with black pen lines/thicker lines etc. Story was great, fit the brief perfectly, well done!

I love the game idea and the humour. The story could have needed a bit more work, but it was okay. I also wish the game was voice acted, and before you say anything, I don't expect high quality voice acting, and especially not from this game.  I really love the art style, and yes it's pretty bad, but in a way it fits the games humour very well. So overall is this a short and funny little jam game. Well done.

I'm sorry to surprise you, but I like the aesthetics of this game (like a raw version of the one I've chosen). It goes very well with the quirky side of the story. Although it is not always easy to get through the exit doors, this short game is original and fun. I'd liked it was a little longer to enjoy more of the possibilites of this theme of "super-powers". You treated the subject with humor, and it is very well done. So, congrats for this game ! ^_^

In case you are wondering about the art-style: I'm not an artist, I am almost purely a programmer. So I decided to sketch most of it out, and just scan it in as a backdrop. I had some creative assistance with creating the idea (the entire concept of the game was Ember's idea, credited at the end of the game) and while she did guide me in drawing it, she had her own work to do so I did the sketches myself. That's why they are very poorly done, but it was the best I could work with.

Honestly wished I could have created something better, but dealing with my first year of uni, while all online, meant I had barely any time. Just tried my best to put something substantial out, so hopefully you will enjoy it.

Thanks again to the hosts for helping me fix my mistake in accidentally removing the submission. I got it in initially at 2AM MST on the due-date, but misclicked the day after when setting up a description.
