How does your game tie into the theme?
the TV definitely does _not_ malfunction. It's _trusty_.

I'm not quite sure how I got the TV to start working? But the achievement here is developing solid foundational mechanics for a larger text-based 2D (and RPG especially) that could benefit from extended time. Hope you continue to build off it!

I like the graphic style and the idea. The text speed was a bit slow, as already mentioned.

Hope to see an update with more content soon :)

Cool little prototype. The thing that kept getting me was the dialog was so slow, and pressing a key to auto-advance it was selecting an option instead of revealing all the text first. Thanks for sharing!

Cool prototype. Interesting idea, I like the music you selected, and I'm a big fan of Kenney assets.

I think maybe it's unfinished? All I managed to do was get the TV working again. But what you have here is really solid in terms of its presentation. Very cute visuals and audio. Would love to see more!
