  • Hello and thanks for joining the ShroomJam! This game was funny and very entertaining! I'm a sucker for point and click adventures, and a few Sierra point and clicks are some of my favorite games of all time... I feel like this really got that 90's TV and computer games aesthetic down, from the music to the graphics to the comedy. It felt like a loving parody or love letter to something like King's Quest or Beneath a Steel Sky. Thanks again for submitting!

Short and sweet game! The dialogue was really entertaining and I really like the concept, I think a game with this premise could be developed into a cool Day of the Tentacle / Toonstruck hybrid. I wish there were puzzles that spanned multiple channels, but for the sake of the jam it's probably best that each one was self-contained.

i really appreciate that the game lets you pick the order you go through the story, it turns what would probably be quite a stifling story (just by its mechanic) into something that feels quite expansive, i also really like that talking to the suspicious guy feels like we're stepping out of the story in a similar movement (that the suspicious guy is something out of story that the player character cant enitrely interact with, or 'they can't have what ee's got')

This game is totally irreverent and hilarious! I enjoyed it. Really fits the theme with its "don't give a f" art style.👍

Wouldn't ever have expected a point&click adventure!

I love the collage look of everything, it gives it a very unique look!

Really awesome game! I love all the references to Vinesauce, Deltarune, etc, and I think you encapsulated the theme perfectly. Overall, really great job!

No clue how they did it but my brain vibrated from the static noise. Genuinely felt like I was getting sucked into a tv box. Loved the old timey point and click style as well. The humor in it had me cackling that is for sure. Short game but I loved the odd ballness of it.

This was sick, also we clearly had the same idea for the 3D model poses lmao
