A really neat little point and click with all the staples of the genre: a cast of quirky characters, funny branching dialogue, very reasonable puzzles and a clever (and touching) twist at the end. Really enjoyed it!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing, really glad you enjoyed it! :)

Solid puzzles when it comes to screwing others over to get your way hahaha. Nice twist at the end.

I didn't see the ending coming, I thought the black and white was a 50s style TV show, just missing the canned laughter.  Great work guys, impressive cast of characters, all really well voiced. Well executed ending.

A nice enjoyable little adventure game! I thought puzzles were all fair and well signposted, nice balance. Loved all the characters, the animations were great, and I chuckled more than a few times at the writing too :D

Thanks so much for playing all the way through!

Ah, nice. I loved the classic set up of "I just need two common things and I'm gonna get them in the most convoluted way possible".

The ending hit me hard. Definitely unexpected.

Developer

Haha yes exactly :) hopefully the puzzles were straightforward enough! Thanks for playing!

Classic! Reminded me of Monkey Island but without the rubber chicken.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! Really glad you enjoyed the sense of humor!

I laughed the first time, when I read the names of the characters and the last time, when I see, that the game enters the bright side of life and there was colour. And then...
The way to the end was full of nice moments, good, silly (positive) jokes and mostly logic puzzles.
Thank you for this perfect entry!

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! So glad you enjoyed it, it was really fun to make!

I enjoyed my time playing Flowers and a Suit! Between the music, dialogue and puzzles, the game provided a light-hearted, engaging experience. One of the narrative and artistic moments in the game proved to be a thoughtful choice that places the player's experience in a new context--wonderful work.

I came close to checking the walkthrough a couple of times, but was able to muddle my way through after realizing that you could combine items. There were a few aspects that could use a little polish (minor dialogue editing, voice quality), but those have less to do with the heart of the game, which was decidedly solid. 

Developer

thanks so much for playing it and +1 on your comment on the voice audio. That was actually one thing I really loved about your game, it was so high quality

Good game. 20m or so. I thought the dialogue and going through the options was the best part. Well done system especially as you’d said you did it during the jam? Walk around, talk to whacky characters, get and combine items, talk to characters again when things change. Had all the main points of an adv game. I liked it.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and reviewing the game!!

Having downloaded the shareware version of duke3d over BBS/ZModem some 25 years ago, and having played the hell out of that game both solo and multiplayer for so long, you can't imagine how much your comment/playthrough means to me :)

Cheers,

Awww thanks for that. The BBS days…seems like another world ago doesn’t it?

Really enjoyed this, love the way it looks. Good sense of humour too and that twist at the end...Really good work!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing all the way until the end!! So glad you enjoyed it :)

What a charming little adventure with a sad and unexpected twist in the end. Loved the old school character animations, they remind me of old Disney cartoons. And voice acting was superb!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! :

This was really fun! It has such a classic adventure game feel that really evokes all those games from the 90s. I like the cartoon-style art a lot, and the implementation felt really smooth overall. (Am I terrible for trying to plant the drugs on the kid?)

My main suggestion would be that, between the length of the dialogue and the speed it plays, I felt like I spent a lot of time going through dialogue. I'd consider shortening some of the dialogue branches that don't advance the plot.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing, glad you enjoyed it! +1 on smoothing out the dialogues, I think this is the most important improvement we could do to polish this a bit more.

Cheers

Very nice. Lovely story. Twist at the end was unexpected, but very touching.

I had no issues with dialogue like others reported, could be browser related? I played it in Google Chrome

Developer

We definitely need to fix the dialog timing a bit, and also allow the player to skip through them. This is something we'll do in the post jam version. In any case, thanks so much for playing!

A charming and entertaining experience. The art style is clean and gives me a kind of Hanna-Barbera-adjacent vibe, which helps set the whimsical tone, and the animation is impressive, especially with all the cute idle animations. The voice acting was also appropriately upbeat and inviting, and the environments were notably detailed and expressive.

The audio quality on the voice work is somewhat rough, and I kept getting actions and dialogue stacking on each other in weird ways, but it never seemed to interfere with the actual gameplay, so no worries there.

I did have to check the guide for about half the steps, as my adventure game sociopathy instincts are rather rusty, but I didn't mind. A certain artistic shift and twist at the end were not only unexpected but unexpectedly heartwarming, and were two clever and fitting choices that will help this game stick in players' minds.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the wonderful feedback! I'm glad the guide was helpful. +1 on the audio quality and on some of the puzzles not beind straightforward. This is something we'll probably take care of in a more polished post-jam version. 

Thanks for playing!

Loved the atmosphere and the noir art style. 

the only issue was the dialogue boxes started to overlap and affect conversations with other characters making it a bit difficult to navigate the narrative.

Other than that I really enjoyed it and love the art style and vibes

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! We definitely had a bit of issues trying to time the dialogs properly. This is something I'd love to fix in a post-jam version. Thanks for playing!
