Impressive entry, the narrative and character's expression come together really well within the limited screen space. The player is given an objective to clear minigames each with a unique mechanic, so there's a lot here for 9 days work! My only feedback is that making a single mistake sends you all the way back to the beginning :)

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! My ambitions were a bit high for such a short time period, but I'm glad it gave me an opportunity to push myself.  The idea with the restart was to make it more "grind-y" and introduce whole new dialogues each run... butttt ran out of time haha

Loved the art, and how you included the actual phone on the game 

Developer

Thank you! This was my first time working with a palette this small and it was a really fun experience!

Mini-games with a story—I just love that!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I started to run out of time with the story I wanted to tell, but I thought the mini-games would help keep it interesting :)

I thought I was the only person to include the phone controls and a palette selection!

Great minds must think alike! I feel like it gives the game a more wholistic experience that way

The theme, graphics and mechanics were very good.
I'm going through all the games, so I'll definitely come back to yours to test it out more calmly.,,

Developer

I'm glad that it came together well! If you have time to play more before the end of the review period I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

Coming back to give more accurate feedback.

The graphics and plot are incredible.

The only thing I would do differently would be to perhaps reduce the difficulty of the mini-games a little, because less skilled players take a while to move the mouse to the cell phone button.

Wow, you implemented the text-based dialogue system so cleverly—reminds me of Undertale! And the gameplay is similar to WarioWare in my eyes, because with those mini-games, it feels just like that. Good game, pal! .Don’t forget to play my game and vote too!

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad that you enjoyed it! Your observation is very astute as those games were big inspirations - you hit the nail on the head haha
