Funnily enough, I had to get rid of a cockroach earlier today, so I kinda took that as a sign to finally play this.
The artstyle is striking. It reminds me of Salad Fingers, which gives it a bit of an uneasy vibe. After reading some of your comments and the GDD, I can see that's the vibe you guys were going for, and the visuals definitely help!
The sound work here is also a huge helping hand with that. I really like the crunchy step sound effect, but as some have stated, it could be a good idea to lower the volume of it, as it kind of overpowers the ambiance music.
The colliders can make the character get a bit freaky at times, but I'm sure these are things you guys are already working on.
The minigames serve as a simple example of what you guys are going for, and it'll be interesting to see some of the different minigames you guys are planning, and how differently they'll play out from eachother. Depending on how they're executed, they might be the strength of the game gameplay wise. I also really like some of the humor! Though, of course, Spoogle is nothing to be laughed about. It IS a very trustworthy browsing service, after all.
Lastly, seeing as this is you guys' first game, really good job!! It can be daunting to jump into something like making a game in such a short amount of time, but it's important to have fun doing it, it's important to be passionate about it, and I feel like you guys have checkmarked all of these boxes. Keep doing stuff!
