Our games are quite similar in many expects. So it was interesting to me to see some other executions about a similar idea. For my taste the second half of the game felt something too stretched. But that is maybe a personal preffer. As you could see in my game, I am a fan from getting to the point :D However enjoid it a lot. And woul love to see more games like this

Developer

Thanks, I do agree that mine drags too much at the end, my original idea was to have it end almost immediately after the "twist" but I suppose after spending so long getting the dialogue system working I felt the need to add more to it. I should have kept it short and sweet. After watching the playthrough of yours it proves the point, I think yours is perfectly paced and I to like the different take on the same idea.

Nice game! Quite funny and I like the art

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked it!

I think I've fixed the progress halt bug now.

I loved this! Art was super fun to look at, and of course the twist presented a somewhat different... "Adventure," haha. 

***SPOILERS***

Btw, I also encountered the Starfish/nothing happening after issue. Thing was, I kept going up to the fellow inmate BEFORE the Crab and I prompted his dialogue early-nothing happened. But when the Starfish said his piece, I think the game thought the Inmate already did his thing, so the music changed and I was stuck in the cell. I'm Youtube-ing what I can from the Jam so I can show you what I encountered when I post the vid! 

Developer

Thanks for feedback, I'm glad you like it :) I appreciate the details about the bug to, that'll really help me track it down. Please do link the video when it's ready, I'd like to check it out.

No prob! Here: 

Btw, I saw you fixed it! I'll check it out on my own time later!
Developer

That was great to watch, thankyou!

Submitted

Yep, so I'm definitely a monster. I also couldn't progress at first, I had to refresh the game a few times. I thought the twist was really funny! Great job :)

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the humour. I'm curious if you were getting stuck in the same part that others have mentioned or if it was at another point to?

Submitted

Hey there i love the art but i have the same problem as talamander. I couldnt progress at all :(

Developer

Clearly I needed to playtest more, seems to be less rare than I thought. Thanks for checking it out anyway.

I liked it! A fresh and fun twist. I am kinda curious about godot and am turned onto that now...

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked it! I would highly recommend Godot, I only had a little experience with Python before trying it and it's been an absolute pleasure, quick, logical, clean and the documentation is so helpful. I can only speak to making 2D games with it but I hear the 3D is also great. Best of all its completely open source so no fees/royalties or features locked behind a "premium" paywall.

Thanks for the info!

I'm not a big fan of story tellers but,  I'm a big fan of pixel art xD the art is amazing !!!

Developer

Sadly I can't take credit for the art, as it was a free art pack. I wish I could draw like that!

I have a question, once the starfish presents itself what is supposed to happen? I think it bugged out because I couldn't escape and no one would talk to me

Developer

*SPOILER*

That's strange, I've not had that happen in any of my playthroughs so far, the starfish when done talking, should prompt your inmate to attack which is inescapable, leading to the players death and the end of the game.

Sorry that happened right at the end! but thank you for playing.

No problem, it could have been a browser issue as well. I'm on chrome
