Yeah, you got it! I used to write serial fiction, posting a new thousand-word scene twice a week, so I definitely tapped into that experience in writing the dialogue for this game. Thank you for playing!
I see I’m echoing several others here, but I also want to say I’m pleasantly surprised to see a C64 game in this jam, and seriously impressed to learn it was written in assembly. Fantastic work, and kudos for finishing on time!
Thank you for playing, and thanks for your kind words! I wasn’t aiming at a dystopian feel, but I can totally see where you’re coming from. I wonder what kind of game it would be if I leaned into that atmosphere more.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! You know what they say, “write what you know.” I hope that kind of acceptance and joy becomes more common too; hopefully putting it into my creative works will help a little bit. Thanks for playing!
You found a really good balance between having enough gameplay elements to make the game challenging but not so many as to make it feel overwhelming. Great work!
I didn’t expect keepy-uppy with the Leaning Tower of Pisa to be so engaging! The earthquakes were a clever way to keep the gameplay from getting too stale, and I thought the ending was a pleasant touch.
I really enjoyed this game! Giving each lemming a different letter to dig through is a clever concept, and reading the letters out as the lemmings spawn is a nice touch. Great work!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the story so much. As I mentioned in another comment, I ran out of time before I could polish the presentation to my liking, but I’m glad the concept still comes across.
I’m glad you liked the story; thank you for playing! I had planned to add sound effects, little “the other person is typing” animations, and clean up the timings on when messages appear, but I ran out of time. Ah well, live and learn!
