Very nice setup. I didn't play the prequels, but i will now. I really liked the idea of the names above the dialogue overlay. Nice solution. I also found the FX and Music very fitting and enjoyable. I played it on OGGBC with EZcard. Works well this way and looked great. I wish you much success in the comp, and i am looking forward to your future work.

Very happy to see Koma again! This dream lives on.
A simple walking simulator (with a platforming segment), but nothing wrong with that. Nice music, which is to be expected, and nice graphics - looking forward to their use in your future game. Admittedly I haven't played your past harold jam games so I can't fully enjoy the non-Koma references (I should rectify that some day), but everything was still easy to understand. Overall, I had fun and enjoyed my time playing.

Rating this one was tricky because I don't want my biases to spill. Still not certain but whatever. Good work, DJ.

Very cute. Lovingly made soundtrack, even if we have other heavy competitors there this year.
I wish there was more gameplay, maybe some word puzzles instead of just walking and reading and a jank platformer. Simple story, it's better if you know the games referenced, worse if you don't.

The gameboy pixel art looks great with fitting music too! Nice little short story with cool reference to your previous games. Cute fun ending with Harold in the end!

While visual novel is not my cup of tea, this game still grabs my attention. The ending is kinda expected halfway trough the game but still caught me off guard with the delivery. The music also fits into the game nicely. It sounds great and really elevate the gameplay.

The platformer section is quite hard, mainly because I cannot see too far forward. When the enemy appears, it is already too late. Or maybe I just too impatient.

Overall, I enjoy my time playing the game. Good job! 

Graphics: 4 - I am not overly familiar with it because I didn't own a Gameboy Color as a kid, but I know it well enough to understand this nails the aesthetic. The game itself feels a bit like a cross between Pokemon and Earthbound, visually. Great job.

Sound: 4 - Authentic-sounding beep boops that fit the game well. Sounds great too. Nice stuff!

Gameplay: 2 - Effectively, it's a narrative-driven walking sim. This is one of the shorter entries, so while the gameplay is little more than an apple grabbling contest it never manages to become frustrating or drawn out. There is a platforming segment that is simple and easy enough, though Koma's movement is very weighty and somewhat hard to control. I'm not sure what getting all the apples does but it wasn't hard to get them all so I did it anyways.

Story: 2 - Koma, our protagonist, jumps into the dreams of people while they are sleeping and interacts with the world inside in a manner similar to the game Alundra, but with a lot less dying. It's a fun enough conceit and I l ended up liking Koma, who you'd expect to be more serious but is actually kind of a derp. The dialogue is interesting and has a distinctive feel to it too.

That said, I found the narrative itself uninteresting. This is another game where Harold is dumb as a bag of rocks and gets lost cause of his stupidity. The dream worlds are not really weird or compelling enough to carry interest, either.

Comedy: 3 - This game has some pretty campy characters and I found myself smiling here and there. The archeologist made me laugh out loud.

Overall: 3  - I really like the aesthetics, enjoyed some of the characters and I had a laugh or two. An enjoyable time.

Three things I liked about this game:

1. The music is outstanding! Someone has been learning from the greats of the GBC era. 😉
2. The game is pretty straightforward; nothing is too hard to do or figure out.
3. Fun references to past jam games.

Three things I did not like:

1. The platforming section was a bit rough. I wasn't sure whether or not I could jump on enemies, the acceleration/deceleration made movement feel a little slippery, and having an object that you can stand on and also walk past is a bit iffy.
2. A minor quibble, but if you can't leave an area without completing the objective first, why give the player the option to leave at all? Similarly, why give the player the option to say "no" when there clearly is no reason to stay? And why let a player return to an area that has been completed?
3. The game is so short and there's no game over areas, so having a save menu seemed a bit redundant; I would have preferred to have a run button.

Also, I'm not sure if there's anything you could have done about this, but the fact that the text UI refreshes each time you change a letter on a character's name was a little annoying. It still was a neat touch for name reveals.
