Great game! I enjoyed the art and while this is probably the first GB game I've played in a while this game definitely struck a cord that reached back into my past playing GB games that really made the experience more impactful for me that I don't think was due to the art alone.
I took my time to explore and the game rewards you for this as the story is expressed through the many things you can interact with in your environment. Great work on that!
I really liked that the bus scene wasn't a simple transition and the provided game play lead to some amusing ways to get to the beach.
For some reason the music or sound effects didn't play for me until the end credits began to roll which was disappointing as I think I may have missed some content with the cassettes I found and the boombox. I am not sure if this was a glitch or was something that was cut under time constraint. I also don't think the game followed the limitation well unless I missed something as I didn't find there was anything that mislead me or made me stop and think if I should do the opposite to what I am being told. But perhaps I missed something there.
All in all a great and fun game! It has definitely made me interested in Romance Quest! The story was fun and I think it really added to the theme! Great work Augustar Games!

Thank you very much! That means a lot to me because this game and its predecessor were inspired by the gameboy games of my youth. Specifically the first game was heavily inspired by the game long side quest in Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons!
There is definitely a lot of music (all made by me), so Iām not sure what happened, maybe a glitch? Also sometimes in the browser you have to click the game with your mouse for the music to start? Not sure, but I hope you give the game another shot if you get the music working! :)
Also the lie was that ***SPOILERS*** not only would you never actually be able to buy the hat, but you didnāt actually need the hat at all, as Parker had a hat the whole time! I wanted to go a bit more layered and broad of a lie than a fully literal interpretation. Thereās actually a second bonus ending that you can get by knowing that information and being a bit persistent. ;)
Glad you enjoyed!
