Overall a pretty fun/interesting little story. Could perhaps have used a bit more story. and perhaps also a bit more gameplay.

Graphics and music were good, gameplay was only walking around and reading stories of other inhabitants. Had fun playing tho

Fun game, I really like the art style.  👍

The game was funny, and the environment looked good, but the movement and camera could use some improvement.

This game has a great sense of humor; not every game jam game has an intro, but this one has a *funny* intro

Gameplay design is seemingly unambitious on purpose - the game is short fetch quests, the fun is in the writing

I was charmed by the music but could not give 5 stars because no SFX

Enjoyed it!

Developer

Thank you! It was our first jam and we wanted to play into our strengths at the sacrifice of having any deep gameplay to it, so we're glad you enjoyed the parts we worked hard on! It was fun to make :)

Gameplay wise it was on the very weak side (I would have preferred to control the camera via mouse instead). Music was on point as was the story. It is a nice cute short game that fits the theme quite well.

Although I wished there was more of Tamy (she looks very hot, appreciated ;P). But for real, your artwork is fabulous (idk who of you has drawn it), but keep your work going, I see potential if you haven't made any full games yet.

Art work is good, story is not bad. It could be better with the character movement specially the camera. It is interesting enough to let me finish the game. Good job guys :)

Developer

Thanks! We would have loved to refine a few things and add more stuff but we were happy just to finish something functional in time :)

Pretty cool environment art, but the gameplay was lacking, understandable when you only have a week though XD

Submitted

Wow, really great art work. I thought the gameplay wasn't the most interesting, but overall great subsmission and interpretation of the theme!

Developer

Thanks! We spent most of the time just trying to make it look nice so we're happy with how it turned out.

overall not a good game audio to loud and not ajustable in my opinion the game dont fit in the theme and also i dint have much fun with the game. i not even get wat to do as a gost after like 2 minuts i got it and knew what to do.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, but I'd be a bit more considerate when commenting on everyone else's games though. "Overall not a good game" is pretty rude, especially for what is meant to be a light-hearted and positive event.

im sorry. another guy on team commeted this. it was defenetly not ok to leave a comment like this. it is a light hearted event and therefor the  feedback should be more to improve on our skills.
