Great work on this project overall! I was never able to find the backup generator, but luckily there's a bug that if you jump beyond the fence and talk to the store clerk, you can come back to your house and head out to the city.
I really enjoyed the mini game experiences... driving, knife fighting, wall climbing, zip-lining, dialogue timer, and of course exploring! That all being said, I cannot help but think this is not a project you made for this particular jam because the theme is loosely tied to the work. However, regardless, this is a great project with amazing lowpoly art (why are there so many expensive race cars in this town!?!?)
Great work, and congratulations on submitting!

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it and thank you for the kind words :) I did do some devlogs (which i never finished :P) on my progress if you wanna check those out. I tried to base the story around summer but I guess I could've added some more mini-games relating to the theme ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks again, this was super fun :DD
(I have no idea why there are so many expensive cars in the town xD maybe people just work all day cause they can't go outside haha)
This is so good. This probably took a long time to make. I have a suggestion and it is that you should make the backup geneerator easier to find because the city is really cool.

Splash Battlesthis art is amazing. i dont want to know how much work it took to make this. there were a few things that werent very good like how the mouse isnt in the middle of the screen, and also i didnt find a generator i could just talk to the gas station guy through the walls. But other than that, it is a very well made game.
Wow! Funnily enough, this reminds me of a game I wanted to make myself (decided to scrap it though). The gameplay and story are just ridiculous fun. I love it. On my end, the mouse doesn't lock to the middle of the screen... which honestly is just a mild annoyance. But honestly, this is a great game. I'm certain you spent a lot of time and effort in this game.
very high-level project and the art is awesome, very cool game

Summer lifeguard simulationGreat presentation! I found a few bugs with talking to people. One of them being a soft lock if you talk to one of the NPC's a second time. Sometimes its difficult to tell where your trying to go despite the particles. With all things said the look of the game and presentation is fantastic, great job!

Summer SlackerOutstanding art. I would never have imagine a "quest" based game for a summer GameJam, but here we are, and you absolutely nailed it. Great work.
