This has the best story I've run into in the jam. A kid finds out the alternate version of his favourite game became lost media, gone from stores and wiped off the internet, and the only arcade cabinet still running it sits in an abandoned mall that gets demolished tomorrow. That isn't an excuse to make an arcade game, that IS the jam.

The comic panel cutscene is really well done, the CAUTION KEEP OUT sign, the lock, the close up on the character. And the mall itself is beautiful: graffiti on the walls ("Hide here", "Tic Tac Terror"), cobwebs, plants, the checkered floor. It makes you want to explore instead of just walk through.

Then I hit a wall. When I reached the playable part the character simply does not move. I tried arrows, WASD, clicking the canvas to make sure it had focus, pressing Z to interact. Nothing. I ran it twice, once skipping the intro with Z and once watching the whole thing through, and both times he stayed in the same pose. My guess is the HTML5 build not receiving keyboard input.

Please look into that one, everything around it is far too polished to be blocked on the first playable screen. I'd genuinely come back and finish it.

Hi, we really appreciate your comment!! Now let's see what we can do to solve the problem. Apparently, it's not a control issue, because the character's movement is indeed controlled with the arrow keys, and WASD is only for the game mechanics... 🤔🤔🤔

I'm a little confused; this hasn't happened to me before in Godot. Could you tell us which browser you're using? Some browsers do tend to have problems, although it's rare for it to happen in Godot. And one more question: does the character display its idle animation? Can you hear the sound effects in the short cinematic?

It would help us a lot to know all this, but we also thank you in advance for your interest in our game, even though it's really just a scenario and simple mechanics 😅😅😅. I don't know if it would be against the rules to upload an executable in the midle of jam. Thanks again for your comment.
