Love the art and character design. The gameplay is simple but that's fine for this kind of game.
Thanks a lot for playing our game!
artistically impeccable, very original idea.
I tried several times but bugs interrupted the experience.
After a few bug fixes, the game could be a real success.
Thanks a lot!
Really nice art style and character design. I liked your limited color selection. Nice explanation with text elements. The game could have some in-game tutorials for guidance.
Feel free to hop into my game as well and share your thoughts and ratings if you have the time!
Thank you for taking the time to play our game!
Great ideas, art and music... and great bugs ! I guess with some polishing and a few more hints (time left, etc), it would be even greater !
And I love Patrick !
Indeed there are small bugs (we had to rush it to submit something to the jam) but we have a patch that will correct them, it will be upload when the jam ends ! Thank you for playing ! Patrick loves you too
Really interesting concept! I love the "behind the scenes" nature of it, and the game looks and sounds great too. I didn't end up doing very well (honestly, I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I got fired), but found what I played very charming. Nice work!
Thank you! We have a small bug where sometimes a right answer triggers a wrong reaction, so that's probably why you got fired without knowing why. But we already have a patch that will correct it, and it will be upload when the jam ends. Thanks for playing and taking the time to give us a feedback !
The way the NPC was portrayed as a member of a behind the scenes crew makes this entry stand out from the other "questgiver" games I've seen! I wish there was a bit more interactivity with the hero or branching in the narrative, though. It seems like a lot of the answers lead to the same outcomes. It would be fun to go off-script! If you ever expand on this project after the jam, I'd like to see what other behind the scenes activities you can come up with!
Also, I was surprised to see my name in the game!
Thanks for taking the time to give us feedback! We have a bug where the dialogue options don't matter much when we had in fact planned different responses from the hero to the different choosable options. Now it is true if we were to develop the game further it would be great to give even more choices to the player! I'm glad you could fully role-play as Joey !
