Was more impressive than I expected and it followed the theme well, good job.

This is a pretty cool concept. I always like these "there is no game" type games. The puzzles are clever, but sometimes can feel a bit unfair. There were a couple times I had no idea what to do. But that could just be me. Overall, a cool game though.

Also, here's a tutorial to fix the blurry sprite issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3kq7gx0kzc

Molly looks a bit blurry.

You can fix this by changing the sprite to nearest neighbour and Molly will no longer be looking blurry.

Overall, Good luck for the jam!

Also, Check out my game!

Nice submission! Some feedback:

1) The graphics are a bit inconsistent. The game starts in 95 and is expected to be progressed into XP or smth but the blue screen is from win 10, I think? Also I would love to see some interface elements incorporated into platformer part.

2) The music was a bit too loud at the end, makes the player more annoyed than invested.

The game idea is very unique; the game play was a bit confusing, but I guess it's part of the game challenge, maybe you can improve on it and add hints or directions on what to do, like the game "There is no game."

Nice! I really like games that break the 4-th wall like that. The gameplay wasn't perfect, but the main thing that matters for me is the originality and the cool idea.

Great job for your first game.

The ideas were very creative, I really liked the beginning 

The soundtrack was annoying at the end, but I really liked

Awesome Graphics!!!

 If you want, please check my game too!!

Nice job for your first game.  Was fun to play!

Wow I really love your game!! Graphics and sounds are so good.

Control with mouse pointer makes me little confuse, but it's very interesting mechanics! I think the game would be better if game has little guide.

and also I'm fall in love with Molly. Story was so great! Molly! I'll save yoooou!!!*breaking Windows*

The idea makes this game very unique, I'm impressed that a first JAM could turn out like this !

Of course as you mentioned it's not perfect but in the end what really matters is the idea of your game, what will make your team grow is experience on other projects. As long as you keep on being this creative, all that's left is finding a nice workflow and find time to polish mechanics.

Here's a few things you guys could do before participating to a new JAM or creating a new project (I'll be talking about platformers but you can extend it to other genres):

- Play a bunch of other platformers and figure out what works, what made it frustrating sometimes but more importantly what felt good, what made you stick around (++ Game design)

- Go check out a bunch of videos of the GDC, that's a very famous source of data and expertise, they have a great youtube channel (every skills)

- Try looking into game architecture and software architectures, it will help you build modular games, which will help in making bigger games no matter the time constraints (++ programming)

Great job with your first game jam! Idea is quite unique and I like it! However, music hurts my ears in the glitching parts. Also, it is not quite obvious that player can control with the mouse, it would be nice to leave some kind of hint for that in game itself (I figure this out only after reading the description of the game).

Great entry - especially for your first game.. really enjoyed the exploration of different unique mechanics.. and the old windows graphics are really cool!

In the upside down level, I fell off the platform upward.. is there was a way to recover or restart from there?
