- There's some wonderful potential here with a bit more puzzles for finding memories and interaction with the memories once they're found. What's here now is pretty simple, but it all looks good and plays well. Nicely done! The main things I'd suggest are making is obvious when a memory is picked up, and using 'e' for the interaction button. The camera's also at a bit off an off center angle, which makes some aspects of the world harder to navigate.
- First of all, taking on a solo jam is tough. Props to you. Nice job overall. Obviously, and you already know this, it doesn't have much in the way of content. But it sounds like you learned a lot and honestly, that's one of the best parts of a jam. A chance to try out new things and learn and grow. Liked the aesthetic and the quirkiness of the characters. Loved the exploding things. Wanted very much to blow up the gas station. Some invisible boundaries would have been nice, I definitely descended several times before I was able to ascend 😅
- Very creative! And the visuals look great! I was able to jump off the end of the world though, lol! Short, but I love a good narrative driven adventure game! Great start!

Short and sweet game. Love the visuals and music choice. I believe one can fall for a while off the map, and one of the memories was harder to get. Otherwise, great start to a game, the final screen I liked the color change and visual effect on the ghost.
I like how all of our previous friends refer to us as "dead guy" XD This was a really cute and simple game! The dialogue was funny, and i loved being able to just absolutely obliterate things! I noticed in the comments that this was your first solo jam! Awesome work!
Great visual style, neat concept and well-designed environment. Just needs more gameplay :)
Thank you! This was my first solo jam and with my full time job haha I learned a lot from it and definitely looking forward to polishing things up when I can!
Cute little game! Could have used a bit more polish and it really would have shined. Really cool idea though!
A unique game to be sure. Collecting orbs seemed a little bland to me, but I did like that some were hidden and you had to read the dialogue for hints. Would love to see cutscenes or more dialogue for when you collect memories in order to the story more. Also, when I hit replay, the hamsters would shatter on load.
Hey! Thank you for the feedback! Helpful suggestions! Also great to know that was happening on replay!
I can see this getting really entertaining checking out what people have to say about you after you die, it's a fun way to do a "collect all X" quest. It would be really fun to find the memories in all sorts of different objects. I fell off the world a couple of times but it's not too easy to do. Looks great visually! The shatter effect is always cool.
Thank you for the feedback! And OMG I knew I forgot something a friend reminded me that I forgot to block of the edges lol I definitely plan to expand the idea I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
