Nice premise with fun puzzles and great design!

Really nice short and sweet game. Loved the presentation of a point-and-click map with puzzles for the rooms. I especially enjoyed the clues for the principal's puzzle existing across the other rooms. Individually, I'd say the classroom puzzle was the highlight, and I really appreciated having so many interactable Skremplets with unique dialogue along the way. Very nice work!

Really fun adventure! I like all the little touches like the screen shake inside the bus, or when you highlight DSD's sweater. Really liked the Skremplet designs and animations, together with the writing and music it feels like playing a 90's cartoon game, like the Nickelodeon ones, you nailed it at making the Skremplets feel really alive as characters. Always interesting seeing the differences in our GB Studio projects, I love the mix of platformer and point-and-click style in your games!

Your avatar mentioned that you're nervous about this being your first game, but you and your team knocked it out of the park. The writing is brimming with character and personality, and the gameplay was nicely varied! I had a blast playing it! Also...

YOU CAN GO INTO SPACE??? I was so tickled by this. Also tickled by being able to see the results of our mayhem. All these little extra details you added into the game just made it so darned charming. And a final shout out to the sprites, character designs, and music, which absolutely nailed the genre. Great job to all of you!

So much charm in this game. Great mash up of genres too, its really impressive you got all of this with the limitations of a gameboy game.

Great characters, I especially liked the mushrooms. Loved the classroom section, logic puzzles are my favorite!

I truly loved this. It gave me such nostalgia for gameboy games I played as a kid. The puzzles were so subtle and your sweater design was cute.

This was so fun! I loved the seating chart puzzle.

Art style, writing, and music are very charming!  The gameplay had good variety.  I especially liked the point-and-click sections, reminds me of those old-school games.  I think what impressed me the most was the overall polish and feel.  Well done!

Thank you so much!! That is so kind!!! I'm so happy to hear that the point-and-click had that feel - I was raised on Pajama Sam and Reader Rabbit and wanted to emulate that totally. - Mangojelly99

I dig the GBC style of a character in an oversized world. The bathroom was my favorite puzzle just because I was messing around with it for a while before re-reading the hint and had that "aha" moment. Ended up playing  a second time because I realized there was a locked door. Really enjoyed all of the characters too

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much!! You are so speedy - very impressive haha -mangojelly99
