Thanks a lot! You’re right; there’s a lot beneath the surface. More than a casual gamer can see on their lunch break—here’s hoping most people see that as a positive feature! ⏱️😃
Love the RATM shop, haha! But now I'm left wondering what life in This Town would be like if I'd saved up enough to get a skateboard... Anyway, this is a fun game for a lunch break!
Had fun with this! After reading the comments, I want to go back and try for the other endings—and looking for clues/answers is a great excuse to watch The Shining and Lost Highway!
Very cute game, and it looks great! The puzzle in the woods was pretty confusing, though—I didn't understand it was a puzzle until I broke down and watched a playthrough video. Before that, I thought I was just stuck due to a glitch related to the game world resetting when I pressed Select.
What a great experience! I love how the progression is executed. And the emotional impact of the story is all the more impressive when you consider how simply and efficiently it was told.
This is a great little puzzle game! Simplicity shines here. I dig the music, and the art really works, too—the snails are juuuuust cute enough without being too childish. Kudos!
Great art, and some decent jokes (the self-referential stuff kinda fell flat with me, but otherwise I dig the sense of humor)! The combat isn't really my style, so I had a hard time getting into the game. Overall, though, it's very impressive!
Really enjoyed playing through this! The maze drove me nuts the first time, but that made for plenty of incentive to dodge the glitches/baddies later, adding a nice bit of challenge and tension 👍
The use of the Game Boy Camera to create assets is brilliant!
I was a bit surprised that there wasn’t more to the game when it was over, though. A player making a concerted effort to escape won’t see much variety since the whole map is available right away, giving them the option to follow a direct path to the exit.
An incentive to explore could extend the play time, and some method of obscuring the map could add to the replayability.
