Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.
- I think the message left would be more conductive if it gave you an actual indicator of the time you had left each screen instead of a vague sense of each hour since you're basically strategizing anyways.
- Really enjoyed the atmosphere, it kept the tone throughout and I enjoyed playing!
Who worked on your submission?
Just me.
How does your submission fit the theme?
Everyone is bald because a bald man fused himself with the sun

what if death star shot at alderon but instead of bolwing up it bounced off of bald man's dome and onto the dead star instead????
Super Bald Rodney ate mercury. He'd probably knaw on the death star like a jawbreaker for the next millennium.
I like the vibe, music felt perfect
Thank you! The music was so fun to make. Plus the rain effect added onto the acid rain too.
Interesting atmosphere and plot, the graphics were pretty cool, too! The game did kinda feel like one long fetch-quest, and all the outside rooms looking the same along with the items you get not showing up in your inventory can be a little annoying, but there's a cool idea and a lot of potential here!
Thank you! I might come back to this one day and maybe expand upon the story. It was a lot of fun to make.
Pretty good, really liked the atmosphere!
Thank you!
really cool, it had a neat vibe to it! the music helped give it a more desolate feeling. we liked the different color palettes when you go into the houses. the ending videos were cool too!
Thank you!
Interesting premise, but I found the message you get each time you leave a bit annoying. Past that, exploring was really fun, but a bit confusing.
I agree that part was kinda annoying. I mainly wanted the sell the point that the world was ending and thought a constant reminder would help.
I think the ending cutscene(s?) could've done with some subtitles because to be completely honest I could only understand about half of what the robotic voice was saying so I don't know if I got a good ending or not, and it was a very minor annoyance that almost every "overworld" room was exactly the same so it was impossible to tell whose house was whose without either going into each one or counting the screens
HOWEVER this was pretty cool, I like the little tidbit of info about the player character, and the music was very fitting and atmospheric, cool stuff
Thank you! I'll admit I don't like the voice at all, I wanted to record the audio myself but I have the voice of a chihuahua puking up a cactus so this was the best bet for me. I'm still learning how to edit videos too, so having dialogue match with the voices is hard to do lol. Yeah all the overworld rooms are the same, felt like a bland world would help contrast the colors within the homes more. I did add a little title each time you enter the room showing where you are, but it's in the corner of the screen and hard to see for most people the first time. The music was fun to make too, and I made a video on the page to give some sort of background for Bald Rodney too and that was also fun to make.
Overall I'm glad you enjoyed it. I would've put more time into that stuff but I'm already working on a game at the moment (thats almost finished) and I am in too deep to stop lol
Awesome game, can't believe RPG Maker made it 400 MB though. The visual design is great, the story is great, and it feels like Deltarune, which I really like!
Thank you! I'm not sure why it's 400mb either, probably just forgot to remove a lot of the unused stock assets the program comes with.
I added some optional dialogues as well as changed the player character to a skeleton. I also removed some sound effects, and minor annoyances. If there's anything else I'll update it as I go, but so far I think I like it.
