Short and sweet. The music was great and set a really epic tone from the beginning.

I’m another person who tried to talk to trash cans!

I’m somewhat intrigued by Binksi after playing this and another game written in it. Will have to give it a try sometime.

Wonderful and touching story. The simple graphics actually work towards strengthening the emotional impact! And superb music.

Nice little love story, looking forward to seeing if you expand this - and (since it was the first one I played here) it introduced  me to Binksy, definitely need to check it out more

I like the setting, hope you can expand upon it.

Nice. With just a few, thoughtful, elements, you've managed to pack a provocative moment into a tiny game.

tiny but polished. :)

The mood was set pretty darn well with the opening lines.

Like others, I also mistook trashcans for crewmates! I also had very slight trouble identifying interactibles from the background, but I think I found most of the things I could.

When I go back to this I think I'll definitely be adding one or two more colours for the sake of differentiating interactables from scenery (and also tweaking/removing the human-shaped trash cans hahaha). Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Fantastic use of Binksi! Short but thematic and evocative

Loved the feel of this whole thing.

This was aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable to play! My only critique is maybe to break up the colour scheme some more - the one colour made it a bit confusing to know what was an item to pick up, or if something was interactive or not.

Overall, well done!

Developer

Really handy feedback, thank you! And thank you for playing <3

tfw you think you found your friend but it's just a trashcan. very focused, polished entry, and my first exposure to binksi. very cool!

Developer

hahaha I was worried people would mistake the trash cans for characters tbh, I'll have to tweak them! thanks very much for playing!!

It's a Bitsy game, right? Bitsy is a neat little tool. I didn't know it was compatible with Ink! It's a simple but effectively told story. My only suggestion is I found the ending a little abrupt.

Developer

It's a Binksi game! It's Bipsy (a Bitsy clone) with Ink integration. I'm definitely going to expand the whole thing I think, thank you for the feedback 🙏
