I loved this take on the theme. I had some issues during the basketball game where my press wouldn't work or would input at a massive delay. I managed to get around it after some trial and error. Great underlying message and meaning behind this jam entry. Very cute well done!
Awesome game! I love the minimalist artstyle and sound design! With simple interactions you managed to make a really nice story! It’s great to see games that have some life lesson in them. Great job!
(Also we had the same idea of making people talk with icons lol)
Thanks so much for playing :) I'll have to check yours out now - great minds think alike!
Really fun take on the theme. Loved the message and progression of the game, though the besides the first mini game I am pretty sure I should have failed the other two but still won. The sound design was also really immersive. Nice work!
Thank you for playing! If I work on the game further I'll definitely turn my attention to improving the mini games.
This was sweet and the ending made me smile. Good work!
Glad to hear it - thanks for playing! :)
Really lovely art and I love the message behind the game, despite it being pretty short. The ending is lovely. Might have become my favorite game so far. Great job !!!
Really glad you enjoyed playing, thank you!
This is such a sweet game, the way you convey such meaning with simple symbols is great. Kind of reminds me of the sims, or spore. I don't really have any notes as it's sort of the perfect jam game.
That's great feedback, thanks so much :)
Interesting take on the theme! I liked the ending too, and the minigames were pretty fun. :)
Thank you for playing!
I loved the message at the end! The audio design was great with the various background school noises. Nice work!
Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed!
It is often said that, in order for computer games to deliver goosebumps, insane amounts of assets and a long story with deep characters are required. For me, this game proves that wrong.
Thanks so much! What lovely feedback :) I'm really glad you enjoyed the game
This is so cute and I absolutely love the message at the end! I think you did a wonderful job with this.
Thank you, that's very kind!
The atmosphere for the school setting was on-point. great use of ambient noises and sound effects. i was fully immersed. beside the space shooter mini-game - i am not really sure what i did? i was just pressing space bar repeatedly, i think i missed every basket, but it seems i passed and those people liked me in the end.
Thank you for playing! I agree that the minigames could have done with a bit more polish and guidance, and progression could have been made a bit more obvious. Appreciate the feedback!
What a nice entry! I liked the minigames a lot and the sound design was so well done!
Thank you! I enjoyed selecting the sounds
Wow, very wholesome! The story is told very well. I'm not sure I got how the guitar minigame was supposed to work... And the basketball minigame didn't exactly cooperate either... But I got past them after a minute of struggling. Nice work though, again, the storytelling was very effective.
Thank you for persevering through the minigames! They could do with some polishing if I'm going to amend the game in the future. Thanks for playing :)
The narrative on this was so good! I also loved the little blocky people! Awesome work!
Thank you for playing, glad you liked the art style!
great Job! this game is so well put together, it tells an interesting story, engages the player and wraps up with a nice message.
Thank you, and thanks for playing!
Cute game "Popular! You're gonna be popular!"
That should have been the soundtrack (copyright notwithstanding! 😆 )
This game was, so far, the BEST entry I've seen, without a shadow of a doubt, the simple graphics give the impression of an almost "dissociation", something that is very commonly felt by excluded people, the sounds were ALL very good and coherent with the scenes, and I LOVED the minigames, I must say, I'm very shocked to see that this game was made by just one person, it looks like the work of an entire team, keep up the good work! And congratulations on the game! :D
That is incredibly kind, thank you so much! I'm glad that you enjoyed playing the game. I was lucky to be able to spend quite a lot of time on the jam this time around - I'm pleased that it paid off.
Happy I found your entry, loved seeing your progress in the discord server.
What a fun take on the theme. Great work!
Thanks so much for your feedback! I look forward to playing your game after seeing the progress in Discord too. Glad you enjoyed it. Confusion with the minigames seems to be a consistent theme - if I work on the game in the future I will definitely improve the guidance.
