Ok, this game almost made me cry. I may just be an emotional person but gawd damn. plus the art was simple but great and the way it fit the theme is quite sad and super creative.
its a little thing but for me the fact that either character's genders are ambiguous makes me love it even more because you can basically interpret it however you want. makes it much more impactful for me.
also, i have a LOT of nostalgia for the song that was playing but i cant remember the name !!! if anyone could please tell me because I'm trying to unlock a childhood memory that's at the tip of my tongue. I'm pretty sure I used to use this specific music for school projects
I got it from incompetech, it's called "Cottages" - if you filter "Feels" for Bright + Calming + Relaxed, it's one of the top results.
ah! Kevin Macleod! i knew it. thank you, you picked a great song
Quite the sad story. Creative concept for the jam, good job!
Very sad and beautiful story, although you didn't finish the graphics they complement the story very well still. Great job!
What a concept! Really surprised me midway!
Ah, this has some nifty mini-games. I wonder how the theme's gonna come into play.
...oh... oh no...
Excellent entry. That was very effective.
Damn that's sad, interesting way to adress the theme though. I don't have any critisism about it, so... good job !
Such a unique concept! Well done! :D
Well that was kind of weird and depressing. But I like games that subvert the expectation that they need to be "fun", so good job with that part.
This sound when they were in the car. I immediately knew what would happen and was like, "no no no no".
What a sad story :'(
Although there's not much gameplay, the story is gripping and you'll find yourself following it. You wonder where it's going and then... The second section brings us down to earth.
Great story!
Good game! The mechanics work quite good and the story is well communicated!
😭
Very small and fun game, alot of laugh for me
Great game
Great use of storytelling in such a short play time. You did an awesome job with tone and interpreting the theme in a much different way.
On the first section of the game, I thought to myself: "Oh hey, cool, this could be the next WarioWare or A little to the left-inspired slice of life game! I wonder, why did the description say it's so short? Oh.. That's why..."
Yeah, the second section of the game has a completely different tone. The simplicity and contrast between the first and second sections really enhance both the story and gameplay. And yes, the game should definitely keep its original style and length - don't listen to my thoughts in the first paragraph :)
An amazing entry overall :)
The game shows a great combination of gameplay and storytelling which impressed me emotionally.
It might be better if the font is easier to read.
Very good use of gameplay to tell a story, and unique use of the jam theme.
The game is only around 3 minutes, yet it tells such sad story. The game is very simple but very good.
