I would so play as a Vacuumbot with cat rider

That is SUCH a nice compliment, thank you! :D

Quickly became addicted to this game ahahaha :D cute visuals, would play again 10/10

This gives off late 90s to early 2000s feel, nice job!

Thank you! This jam really was the perfect opportunity to use my interest in history, especially the parts/people that are often overlooked! I really had to think how much info to write in the limited space while still also being informative :)

Nicely mind bending concept 10/10

This has really interesting that sounds like it would make for an actual game, nicely done!

I love the visual style of this game and the premise! The part about selling your hit song to white only label gave me a 'OH Okay so that's how it happened' feel ( I learned fairly recently that the song Surfin' Bird is a combo of songs The Bird's The Word and Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow  by The Rivingtons)! Lots of opportunities for different strategies too. I admit, I was kind of confused what 'cumulative' stats mean exactly, especially if you only have a solo act,  tho 'example of play' page helped clear things up a lot too.

On other note: aside from couple of spelling errors( I do them all the time), on the 'example of play', isn't Lulu supposed to be the would be murderer since she got card of clubs initially? Or did I misunderstand something again (I also misunderstand things all the freaking time >_<)?

10/10  too accurate ahahahaha

Great game! Loved the graphics and it was  easy to learn! I may have gotten a bit distracted playing this ahahaha

NO problem :D I had to think about what and how much information to add since there's only limited space, but sometimes limitations are good!

And I know you! Hi! :D 

Some things that inspired to focus on the historical side of fighting against capitalism: my interest in historical facts was a starting point, and also how in recent years as I've grown older, I've started to understand better the importance of logistics in any resistance movement. Going out to fight and leading and giving big speeches are important things yeah, but we shouldn't ignore the 'unglamorous' side of things like making sure people have enough to eat and can still go to work or doing fundraising, and other details that keeps things running! The other thing that gave me the idea was how a lot history books don't bother mention people like Jo Ann Robinson or Georgia Gilmore! I learned about Lewis Hine only like few months ago actually, it's crazy. I think those were the main things that inspired this zine, a lot of our struggles do intersect with each others, especially in the capitalist hellscape we are currently in!

Thanks for the kind comment!

Thanks for the feedback, I'm happy to know you enjoyed it. :D I'm especially happy to hear the protagonists personalities shined through. Sorry about any confusion some of the dialogue sections might have caused, I'll keep that in mind in the future.

Hey! Sorry I'm only replying now, I've been busy. Anyway, thanks for the feedback, I can see why you would say some information is dumped a bit suddenly. I probably would have woven in details a bit more naturally to this story if I didn't impose some other projects on my shoulders ahaha. I might come back to this story to expand it a bit more so I'll keep your tips in mind!

Oh totally missed that. Thanks for letting me know, I'll get to fixing that!

Thanks for the lovely amount of feedback! This story was largely inspired by the American road trip me and my sister took almost a decade ago. I'm glad my intent of a chill, cozy trip between friends came across, and you enjoyed the characters :)

I do get what you're saying about how densely packed it feels. And I hadn't realized at first that some sentences feel over-nested. I WAS wondering whether or not I should add more to the story, like couple more locations, but I decided to go ahead anyway since there's some other stuff I kinda got going on atm and I didn't want worry about juggling TOO many projects. Doesn't mean I won't go back into this story! I do like the idea of expanding on this story a bit more, so there's plenty of opportunities to work on those details.

Thank you once again for your feedback! :D

I thought I already gave my comment but apparently I didn't. :o Anyway, really enjoyed this! I really got into it while playing and trying to get as many achievements as possible. Loving this new way to appreciate poetry!

As someone who likes mecha stories, this is right up my alley especially with such a interesting premise. Wouldn't mind seeing more!

Interesting question! I've never done those before, tho I'm from Finland so I'm not sure about the logistics (unless digital community copies are a thing). Still, I might look into it.

Fun game! I especially liked the UI, and how this game can be easily played on laptop (which I did).

Thanks! I didn't consider public domain images before, but I could make a version that includes them. :)

I love the idea, and the heist aspect is a bonus for me!

The title alone is already letting me know this is a fun game for groups. There really should be more fantasy settings in the wild west genre.

Title alone drew me in, 10/10

Oh dang I totally missed that! :O Thanks for pointing it out, I'll fix it either tomorrow or Monday, I got work this weekend.

Nice game premise,  and the instruction pages are nicely done too!

This game looks like it's fun to play! The rules are very clear too and I like the various character types one can choose from.

Ooh gotta check those out :o

I think this is the first I've seen a game like this use dominoes for gameplay, but I like it! As someone who likes paintings and the occasional wondering what lives other people live, this game is perfect for me :D

Love the idea and the visuals are done nicely! Nice work :D

Finally a game fit for my teenager self. Nicely simplistic, and I think it's this game also doubles as a 48-Word game.

Loving the visuals and the premise. This game sounds like it would be fun at parties (tho hopefully not the kind that end in actual death ahahahaha)!

Thank you so much! I'm especially glad to hear you like the mechanics, and I'm also glad the immersive feel works too :D

This game looks interesting. I really like the visuals too!

The premise already drew me in. More games should be about cryptids I think :)

Nice visuals, and instructions are to the point. Well done!

I love the visuals and the concept! Nicely done.

This is perfect I love a good whodunit!

This bookmark really seems like it'll be fun to use! Nicely executed, good use of space with the instructions especially.

A Pokemon game in a bookmark was not what I expected, but I wholly welcome it! :D
