Very short but fun, tbh I don't think it's even possible to run out of time without wanting it (or maybe I'm just too good at the game :3) but I think you could have remove 10 or 20 seconds to the timer to make the game really stressful!
And also, the starting screen (the how to play) is way too long, maybe you should had a button to skip it.
Ok so I have a lot to say... First, this game is really cute and I appreciated each seconds of it.
First i really loved the simplicity of the game, just one screen, two characters, one music, one gameplay variation but I think it really helps the point of the game. Maybe I go too far into the analysis but this repetitivity, this simplicity, its usually how we perceive spending time with our family. We can think at first place that it's boring or not fun but nothing is eternal, and that's when they're not here that you noticed how these repetitive and boring moments were unique and precious. That's why when the dad died, the son just returns to the same place but everything changed but NOT the music which is really cool because you could have just cut the music but you kept it and it shows how much, even in the dark, this place is still associated with bright and good memories. Because peoples never really disapear. This place will forever remember this music even in the dark because his son will never forget either and will continue to come.
The story is simple but good. A bit predictable but still really well written. The dialogs are natural and we feel conected with them. The only problem is that I was playing on a laptop with a small screen and the text was REALLY small so it was a bit annoying to read. And also the dialog box of the son and the dad are at the same place (or almost) so it's hard to tell who's speaking when you are focusing on the fishes.
Also the fact that you can miss the fish (I think? Because i got softlocked one time) is not a really good idea on a game focused on automatic dialogs.
I think that's all I had to say, conragts for this jam buddy and keep making games :)
Thanks for your comment :)
First about the maze behind the tree: You can access to the end of it if you have 3 flames if I remember correctly (before the acess is gone)
Second: the "bad ending" is available if you didn't washed all the dungeon (so it can be missable if you already washed it before the end)
And I'm very happy it made you want to create something too!! Don't forget to tell me if you decide to release something one day :3
I really liked the concept of "interactive essay" I never seen it before and you work really inspired me!
I use RPG Maker since I'm a kid so it was really interessant for me!
It would have been cool if you talked a little more about the huge community around Yume Nikki and the creative liberation it caused!
Anyway I really enjoyed this essay and I hope you make more of these!
(sorry for my english)
Owwww Thanks, I'm glad you liked my game <3
How much stuff do you have left to clean?
You also need to talk to the boss right after cleaning all the dungeon, maybe you didn't do it? If you want I can send you the complete map of the game (maybe you missed a room?)
In any case, tell me if you"re still having trouble finding it!!
