This was probably something I did wrong, but I couldn't get the controls working- the little dog just would not move, no matter what I did. I tried both sets of arrow keys, with and without number lock on.
Maybe the problem is the web version? I can see other people were able to play it. If anyone has any answers, please lmk- this looks fun and cute and I want to play it!
Okay, after a hotfix has been applied, I'm playing the game For Real This Time, here are my thoughts:
1) The Nokia vibes are strong with this one. The controls are incredibly awkward, the pixels are simplistic, and that's rather the point- it does exactly what you want it to do. I love the aesthetic SO MUCH.
2) I stepped on the floating sparkling particles my first playthrough. Oh my goodness, I love your choice of colour palette and the music- it's so nostalgic, really evokes the kind of games you're emulating.
3) I unfortunately tabbed through the text box where the snake tells you what to do too quickly and missed that information! I think I might have softlocked myself- there's only one way to continue, and it's through the locked door.
This is a really cool game, and figuring it out yourself is part of the mystery- but I am confused about how to proceed, and might need to start over. You said in your first comment that this is your first game ever? It's *incredibly* well-done. Simple and elegant.
