Omg the amount of personality and depth you were able to squeeze into this game with such limited colors is absolutely amazing. I loved it!

Use of the limitation
The limitation is incorporated into the story, as my game doesn't have combat. "It died in one hit" is a crucial aspect of the plot.

None... I want some!
How was your experience with Mini Jam?
I wish I could have made music for this. It feels so quiet... Blegh, if only I had time!! I started too late!
Comments
That was a rather thoughtful use of the limitation.

Swish, the Swordfish (Jam version)I wish I could be a mage living in a seaside cottage, Very creative interpretation of the limitation, I like it! Very pleasing art style and intriguing story, I wish you had time to make it a longer! Great job!

Faint HorizonI loved the artstyle (like a lot!) , it is something different and peaked my interest. The story itself was interesting, but I found it sad that I wasn't able to do anything besides walking. I would have loved to be able to interact or do something (maybe the fight between those two? to get more immersed in the story (music helps with that too)). Soooo I'm looking forward to more games in this artstyle with more interaction :D you can definitely work with that!

CrabwatchThank you so much!! <33 I'm so glad you like the art!! And you're absolutely right, I'm gonna try to make the next ones more interactive!! Thank you!! :Dc And yeah, I really wish I could've made music for this game, but I sadly ran out of time... I might make some music for it after the jam is over just for fun! Thanks a lot again, I appreciate the advice and the compliments a lot!! <3
So cute! I love the cutscenes and the dialog boxes. You made the visual-novel gameplay fit the theme and limitation well. Ahh the monster was so adorable I'm so sad Wren had to hurt him :(
Great Jam!

One-Hit ShovelAs a classic bitsy project, it's more a novel than a game but... The use of the features you had: quite impressive! Well done on the writing itself, the story was really intriguing till the last moments!
Loved the way the theme was used :-)

Fish & ChipsDude, what was that ending? Surely didn't expect that. That was such a cute you-know-what though. Loved the story-telling and everything. Well done man.

Whack-a-CrabI really enjoyed this game! I know you said you wish it had music, but I thought it was great on its own! The art style is great! I loved your use of shaky text to convey emotion, and the transitions for the cutscenes were awesome! Overall a great job! And a great concept!

Taco Soda SharkThe game is stunning! There are so many aspect that make this game amazing, the story, the narrative, the simple control. It is relaxing and enjoying to keep playing into the story. I wish to see more of the story and future narrative! Great work!

Lemonade DayCute game, love the pixel art and sound design, and the palette was used really well. The game had a really chill vibe and was more relaxing than many of the other entries. I do wish I had some firmer idea of where the game would end up from the beginning, but that might just be my impatience talking. Overall a charming and friendly experience worth having, and a great submission for the jam.
